I don't care about it, I don't like the plystation games usually, but I suppose some could be interested in that.

I wonder if the coming years will be a repeat performance of the old handheld console wars of the early 90s... although Sony wasn't interested in consoles back then.

Bah. If that was a PS2, then i'd be impressed. As it is, it's about as useful as a Sega Nomad.

Everything about it looks amazing, except of course the price. That, and I have some doubt about how far off to the side the Dpad and button are, it looks like you won't be able to get a girm grip but will rather be holding it at the very edges..

Venom: does it say anywhere if that picture is actual size? It looks like to could be, but I can't read Le French.

Bah.  Old news.  Looks impressive, but I don't think I'll get it.

The second it comes out, Nintendo will pop up with something half the price and twice as good.

I thought Gamegear was pretty decent. Then it died.

As it is, I think the portable was the PlayStation1, although that wasn't handheld. It was pretty cool though.
