NYC’s giant PSP Phat billboard taken down, gets screen upgrade
After three years of amusing pedestrians in New York, the legendary PSP Mega-Phat billboard is taking a breather. They’re taking down the huge PSP Phat on Houston Street and Lafayette Street and will be giving it a screen upgrade. Yeah, just like with the PSP-3000! They’re taking down the billboard – the body will be replaced with new parts (probably to reflect that of the PSP-3000’s) as well as get a shiny new screen too. Let’s just hope this new screen doesn’t have any scanlines…
If you’ve been somewhere near SoHo/NoHo central at New York, you must have seen one of its most memorable attractions: the huge PSP Phat billboard. In certain rare occasions, it might have dazzled you with some PSP ads when you visited the area.
Some locals, however, will remember it more as a very old and rundown thing of the past. For the most part, it’s never been seen 100% working – it’s either got dead pixels or, quite simply, a fully dead screen.
After three years of amusing pederstians, that’s all about to change now though.
The huge PSP Phat billboard on Houston Street and Lafayette Street is getting a screen upgrade*. Yeah, just like with the PSP-3000! They’re taking down the billboard – the body will be replaced with new parts (probably to reflect that of the PSP-3000’s) as well as get a shiny new screen too.
