Just wondering - is the screen noticeably bigger? I know I could probably go and find the dimensions somewhere, but I'd prefer to know if when you pick it you do you really notice the extra (if there is any).

Can't decide to pick one up now or wait a month or two for the inevitable price drop.

No, there are no special abilities from the Fusion Suit.

If anything it should be harder.

Bah, I was hoping you'd be able to do the stuff where you grab onto a ledge and roll into the morphball from it...

I did end up picking up an SP yesterday, so here's waht I think.

Firstly, yes the size is very important being a portable machine. It's teeny, but when you fold it out it is remarkably spacious. You hands are not cramped together - and I've not got small girly hands.

The main plus is the front lit screen. You can flick it on and off, so if you try setting yourself up to play with the screen off and play for a bit, and then switch it on, you'd be amazed by the improvement.

There is also a lithium ion battery built in (one of the main reasons for the shrinkage). Basically, charge it and you've got 18 hours of play. Take from that what you will, I think it's great.

Compare the two and the SP is clearly the winner - smaller, easier to use and you don't have to worry about batteries.
