TruBD Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 $300!?! when did they announce the price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceminess Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 $300 :no: they would be crazy to market it at $300, where did you here this price? I haven't heard of a price for it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezza Veteran Posted May 16, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 16, 2004 One thing I really concern about PSP is the price and yeah this is gonna be expensive :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureEdit Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 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. Yeah, and the PSP only last 2.5 hours and 10 for audio only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foo Fighter Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 Guys, you have to remember this is a new product. Prices will come down within the first six months of introduction. Vendors initially price new hardware for the early adopter market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivand Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 Looks cool, but personally i prefer the DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted May 16, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 16, 2004 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... it's not stupid at all. This is the same market sony will be targeting with the PSP. Not the little kiddies running around wiht GBA's, but the grown guys who have to have an ipod and want something more mature than a GBA.

PureEdit Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 I like the DS more for everything, but it cant play movies. If somebody got Linux + Mplayer working on either of these with the ability to play movies over the WiFi cards, that would be SWEET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 Looks very nice but price would be my big issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serox Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 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. Hmm seems like the Dreamcast idea ;) The handheld memory card thing that never really took off except for with Sonic Adventures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redestium Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Oww not again. Let's wait until they are released before debating, I'm betting some things will change with this before launch (early 2005) just like the PSX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Favvi Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 the PSP looks so sweet... i'll be buying one of these... once the price drops a considerate amount. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLegendOfMart Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 *cough* looks nothing like one? *cough* By your reckoning it looks like a GBA, Neo Geo Pocket, Wonderswan, GP32 and a Gamegear as well then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misecia Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 there were 2 designs for the Atari Lynx I just meant that it doesn't look very pocket like, far to big IMO!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael1950 Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 But how can it be too big if it is proven that it is the same size as an open GBASP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misecia Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 I guess the shots make it look bigger than it really is then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuarterSwede Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Here's another shot, sorry it's so big. [EDIT]Sweet! When did IPB add automatic resizing if the picture is too big!? Nice improvement. That'll save me some work.[/EDIT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
