"One thing is for sure, out of the box, the PSP looks very stylish and is a very well-designed concept. Put it next to the NDS and it feels like one of those visions when past meets future."

This is - believe it or not - the first time I have seen a picture of the NDS, and I have to say it looks (to my tastes, anyway) to have all the style of an 80's mobile.
If the original PS2 was Darth Vader's toaster, then the NDS is C3PO's waffle-maker. :-)

Oh yeah I always think in terms of market share. That's me alright. I like Nintendo after all because they have the largest market share. And Metroid Prime was naff because of poor sales.
Idiot. I haven't got FFI&II and I won't get it. I also hated Golden Sun, so I'll only call them a success if they got brilliant sales.
Pokemon, good handheld game and sold well.

Hmm.
A Commodore 64 or Spectrum emulator I can understand.
An Amiga Emulator I can understand.
A PlayStation emulator I can understand.
But...
A PC emulator for a portable games machine.
Kinda defeats the object, I reckon. Even on a laptop.

Yes, you do. It's always 'chart positions this' and 'number of weeks that'.

Wow, and I thought you'd be buying a DS.
In other news, "chirurgical gloves"?

The one thing that I don't get with the PSP is the fact that it's not just a games machine, it does MP3's and other random stuff too.
It's great, but I've got a ZEN to play MP3s and I'm not going to carry a PSP just to listen to music.
Unless I can put songs onto my memory stick and plug it in to play MP3s instead of silly game music? Now that's slightly better but still nothing special.
And the battery life needs to be sorted, have they improved it from the original 10 minutes that was quoted earlier this year?!
"Mostly made of a special plastic with glass effect."
OK, I cannot stress how much this is going to drive people mad! Shiny black plastic is evil as fingerprints show up like anything and you get grease marks everywhere!
My V80 is bad enough, the PSP will be the death of me...
