ChicoCahill Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 aren't those pictures conceptual, not the real thing right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSammyx Posted May 8, 2004 Author Share Posted May 8, 2004 yea it is a concept design, but i think it looks really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 well the pics don't actually load? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLegendOfMart Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 It looks nice but its not practical, look at the buttons, set into the face, they arent raised out to indicate where the buttons are so youd constantly have to check where you were putting your fingers, same with the dpad, especially with that circle in the middle of it.

Iain Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Looks lush, but I agree with Oneill. Also because the dpad is curved. Awkward! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xSammyx Posted May 8, 2004 Author Share Posted May 8, 2004 i actually like whot he keys are. perhaps they are sensitive so you wouldnt actually have to push them like you would forexample with gameboy sp. also, probably if you play long enough you would know where to place your fingers.. this design looks very classy in my opinion.

XiXora Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 i am not taking sides but they have to beat nintendo with their gameboy which has beaten many rivals ( gamegear neogeo lynx and that swan thing ) the gameboy must have over a thousand games to choose from by now too.

Knight' Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Mmm, I've seen these long ago, it's nothing new. And yes these are only concept shots of what it might look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.KICK Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Shame this will be $300 and the nintendo DS wil range $90-$120 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xp1ode Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 now that pic from ign.com looks real good, and yes is a shame is going for $300 for that i just rather buy a console. I wonder what they're thinking over at Sony..... Oh well i guess is the from now to see what happens.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keito Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 They should bundle it with a PS3 and sell it for the PS3 price + 50$ or something :p i'd sure buy it :D and if it wasn't that highly priced I'd pre-order one a.s.a.p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSammyx Posted May 13, 2004 Author Share Posted May 13, 2004 They should bundle it with a PS3 and sell it for the PS3 price + 50$ or something :p i'd sure buy it :Dand if it wasn't that highly priced I'd pre-order one a.s.a.p yea i agree, a bundle would be really good. the best thing would be if this was the controller for ps3 and you could use it as stand alone portable gaming unit and as a wireless controller.

Foo Fighter Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 I'm not real big on handheld gaming, but the PSP looks damn nice. I just might go for it. The Tapwave Zodiac is pretty sweet too. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkLordSouron Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Looks good but price is crazy. yeah ur right sony products are very expensive just wondering what the ps3 will cost :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroChaos Veteran Posted May 13, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 13, 2004 so very tempting. if they can get the price to 199, that will make a huge difference.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drago Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 the price is very reasonable if you think about what you are getting. it's a portable ps2+, that can play umd movies and mud audio, it has more function than an iPod at $200 less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giga Veteran Posted May 13, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 13, 2004 iPod = HDD player PSP = Not an HDD player. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron901 Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 the price is very reasonable if you think about what you are getting. it's a portable ps2+, that can play umd movies and mud audio, it has more function than an iPod at $200 less. it's very stupid of you to compare this to an iPod. ;) yes, i agree 300 bucks is a lil steep. but it looks sooo sleek, even though i'm not a fan of handheld gaming, i'm afraid i won't be able to resist this...

Amnesia Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 the reason I'm assuming its so expensive is because there is supposed to be a memory stick attachment that allows it to be used as a mobile phone. It also plays video and mp3's. The new Nintendo DS will look awsome though with it's dual screens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuantumTrickery Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Portable systems are all about one thing: Battery life. If its not pushing 6+ hours, count me as uninterested. The whole idea for me, behind a portable gaming device is that i can throw it in my pocket, not worry about charging it for a while, and having a good selection of games to play. If i've gotta plug this thing in ever couple hours, it just defeats the whole purpose. On a side note I hope they or a 3rd party manufacturer adds a lock on cover to protect the front, much like the GBA SP folds clamshell style to protect its screen.
