Fully 3D handheld console with disc based format...
Oh dear.
And the Playstation name can sell.

That's still going on?
Quite an impressive fad.

Aye, especially considering they're just glorified spinning tops.
Well, I must admit, I've been spinning coins for years.
I wouldn't say ALL the kids are watching Newsround. I'd say relatively few to be honest.
By the time it is finally released (unless it's rushed-out...?) it will have a HUGE mountain to climb against the millions of units of GameBoy Advance's and 'SP's-alone that have already sold to gamers across the globe!
But, like Dringo originally said, "SONY" does sell...
We could quite easily see a large number of these PSPs fly off the shelves within a short space of time, as it launches - like with the GBA and 'SP.
But I still doubt it will be enough to "trounce" the GBAs!
And it's not like too-many GBA-owners who have come to love Nintendo, since, will be jumping at the chance to grab a PSP because it uses CDs, and that - unlike 'other people'...!

It will most likely cost about £250. Unless the price has ben announce already and I missed it.

No it doesn't.
The only reason the GBA sells more than the PS2 is because there is no choice when it comes to handhelds.

So? That doesn't stop it being a bigger name, does it?
Even people who don't usually play games have Game Boys - they're actually considered 'cooler' than Playstation 2's, and almost held in the regard of things such as walkmans. The GBA SP's new image will help the name too.
When it comes down to it, people will choose a Game Boy over a Playstation Pocket.

It'll sell.. but only really in Japan.
It'll be bloody expensive as well. As in HUGELY.
