Microsoft have been talking about a handheld Xbox, i jave heard it is going to be like a gameboy advance or a laptop.

Myself i think the laptop shaped one would be better because it will have a bigger screen and you will beable to put normal Xbox discs in the
CD-ROM drive, if it is a laptop shaped one you will beable to surf the net quicker, as it will probably have a small keyboard (the keyboard will probably be the size of the ones on the internet phone).

If it is like a gameboy advance you will need to by seperate games. This way it will be a smaller screen and it wont be as good graphics and that will be downer.

If there will be a Handheld Xbox it will be out in 2005.

Im looking foward to it!

Yeah. I got an XBOX and think its great, but the sales figures indicate otherwise. Its getting its butt kicked by the PS2. What chance would a handheld version have?

Lets hope the XBOX 2 (expected to be released sometime in 2007) will be better recieved.

I expect it'll cost a bomb and never take off.

Yeap. The handheld XBox is rumoured to be released in October.

You however do need to buy a Sainsbury's shopping trolley to carry it.

A laptop type system, hmmmm nice idea but not 'Hand Held' really is it but I like the idea of a Xbox in the laptop type config with the LCD screen etc.

As for a hand held, the GBA has no real competition and MS would be daft not to take some of the market share which Nintendo are currently enjoying all to them selves.

Also a hand held with link capability to the Xbox 2 or even 1 would I'm sure help a more Japanese gamers see the benefits of the Microsoft range.
