How to Turn Your PSP Into a Touch Screen

In the battle of the portable video game consoles, the Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) beats the Nintendo DS in nearly every category but one. The touch screen that makes the Nintendo DS so interactive with the user was never meant to be included with the PSP. A few different companies have released replacement screens for the PSP that are touch sensitive.
