$300 US. $450 Canadian. That's a PS-2/Xbox + Gamecube TOGETHER.


Edit: and look at all the awesome games you get to choose from!

Not to mention the awesome 3-6 hours of battery life, assuming you're just going to use it for gaming, and not as a cell phone/organizer/mp3 player/food processor as well.

It's going to fail horribly.

Looks like the plant down the way will be making those..... I see it as a failure.

Good intentions, just bad design.

Actually it's a PS1.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piƱa coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

its not gonna work out. somewhat fun to play with at E3, but, well, for that price?

i can get a cell phone for 29 dollars if i get a plan with it, which will lasta couple of days for standby. I can get a GBA SP for 100 bucks, and it will have many more games. I can get an MP3 player for something like 100 to 200 dollars, if i dont go for a HD based one.

Snow, if you can get huge price discounts on this thing with a cell plan, it may be worth it/

Well if it does have an integrated cell companies will probably be offering it cheaper with a service subscription, so it might not really turn out to be 300$. If you look at the actual manufacturer prices for cellphones when buying them without a service plan a lot of them are in that same price range.

It looks like a nifty toy without too much use, just like cameras in cellphones, web browsers on cellphones with a 2x4 cm screen, etc.

Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

Yeah, but it halfasses the 3 of those combined.

The GBA SP, even when having the light on, will last upto 4 times as long on one full charge than this will.

All times are US/Eastern
