These PSP numbers are absolutely ridiculous. Japan’s weekly charts have been dominated by Sony’s handheld, and this week is no different. In fact, PSP has outsold DS in a 2:1 ratio this week. The tables have turned, at least in Japan.
PSP - 100,870
Wii - 71,518
DS - 52,542
PS3 - 10,177
360 - 1,725

Seeing this sort of mod makes you just want to stop and stare and say some pre-school gibberish like “ooh, glowing thing.” While you comfortably ogle idly with desire, we’ll continue reporting on this gorgeous add-on. When you’re ready to wipe the drool over your chin, read on.

This product you see here is called the XCM Magic Night Glow faceplate. It latches onto the front side of slim model PSPs only and comes in pearl, yellow, blue (pictured), green, pink, and red. Each faceplate glows a different color than its original scheme. For example: the blue one pictured above will glow greenish (also pictured). So far there’s no price set yet, but you can find a place to pre-order it over at XCM’s website.

Now, just think of all the practical uses your PSP will now have; it’s not only a game machine and a music player, but also a nightlight and a rave party glow toy! Sweet.

One thing of note: the Go!View video download service (exclusively available in Europe) will be available on June 30th. PSP owners will connect to a PC in order to download videos to their PSP systems. Content will be available on a pay-per-view basis, and through subscriptions as well.
