I think you are lieing.
What about Club football?
I said think at begining, because I don't know if leeds have their club football game out.

Well yes, but that doesn't change anything. I'm just saying that if they were "genius's" than they would've thought of it sooner.

Obviously that was a bit of a guess, but if you think about it, look at all the exclusive games Game boy advance SP has compared to PSP. Also, the majority of people who are into porable consoles, already have an SP.

That's innovative, not original.

I will agree with that when PSP does better than the Gameboy advance SP.

I am almost certain that the price of the PSP will be more than the GBASP. The rerason I made that comment, was purely because I can see no hope of PSP getting any good exclusive games.

I will probably buy one, depending on the price.

lol.
Just hope Sony don't go down the Nokia route, and just screw everything up. They know what they're doing though, I can see this getting some big support, and I predict a £150 price tag.
True, it has a lot of work for itself with the Gameboy as competition, but look at the Playstation and the PS2. Look how far Sony have come with their dedication to the video game industry. Don't know how anyone cannot call that impressive.

Since when did Nokia make handheld consoles that screwed up? £150 aye? I doubt that they'd price it that high - no one would buy it. I'd say about £110.

Dedication to the game industry? How? They rushed the PS2, a dedicated company, for example Nintendo wouldn't have commited such atrosities.

Really??
Never ever played on one and I'd say I'm a casual gamer. I can't say I love it as I have no experience of it so I think that statement is a bit silly.

I wasn't talking about you though, was I? It was a generalisation.
