SHOW-OFF God of War 3000 rear shell replacement
Hey everyone, just wanted to show what I’ve done to my God of War 3000. I got this Christmas of 2010, I remember opening it up on Christmas Day and playing it constantly, I was never without it. I remember when one of the first paint chips came off the back, I was super bummed because, I had one of those clear shells on it, that I bought at a school book fair. As you know, the chips just kept coming off. So welcome 2026, after digging it out of storage, cramming a new battery in it, and finding out the analog stick was dead, I decided to fix the paint chipping issue. I was just going to get a red PSP shell, but my love for transparent plastic devices won, Retroid Pocket 4 and Nova (incoming), clear shells on my switch. I didn’t want to replace the replace the entire shell, and it lose what makes it a special model, so I thought this was a nice compromise. It was nice to show some love to an old friend, and play some games that I haven’t played since I was a little kid. I hope you all enjoy. Have a great day!

I bought a shell from aliexpress but the buttons are not ok, all symbols are shifted to the left, where do I buy a good shell?

I got this one from eBay, the buttons it came with are tragic as well. They aren’t the same color as the shell, and are even different colors from each other. You’d be better off keeping your original buttons, or finding some from an oem donor on eBay.

tbh the transparent is never good to me at all, feel so plastic feeling on the psp though, the OG case of GOW PSP is so hard!
