I, for one, am not a fan of inferior ports of 10 year old classics...


me neither, but if u haven't noticed that's the trend in our society. Oldschool stuff...so many kids are walkin around in TMNT gear and the such. It's liek the 80's are gunna come back for a brief second....just some of the pop stuff. Doubt those hairdo's/cloths will come back. but ya, everything retro is "cool" now. SO they make remakes of oldschool games...and people buy them, so they continue to make em.


Well that's not fair, I've been wearing eighties stuff for a good 2 years now because I liked it but you're right it just seems to be catching on now.

The gameboy player is pretty nice accuracy wise (especially the sound is good), but they could have added a couple more screenmodes IMHO. Still, it's a hell of a lot better than straining your neck and eyes trying to play on a real gameboy. I don't really have much use for the portability of the GB; I just got the player because the GBA has a lot of good games.

Urgh... looks too small and wafer-thin...

Man, I gotta stop doing that... oh well at least it keeps me from chewing up my pens.

Anyway, Nintendo IS now losing money on each GC. Before the price drop, they were basically breaking even. Personally, I'd prefer to play NEW games on the current systems than remakes of games I could just as easily play on my NES, SNES, etc.

As for the size of the PSP, keep in mind that there really isn't anything in that image to compare its size to. And trust me, Sony will make the thing damn comfortable to use. They did a good job with the DualShock controllers so this will be alright too. Certainly better then the crap block the GBA SP is.

My understanding was that manufacturer's don't expect to see a profit on console sales anyway, it's the games that make the money (hence the hefty prices).

As for the PSP, I'm loving the idea of the reset button being right below the D-pad. Sensible. And isn't there supposed to be an analog stick? Unless it's in the middle of the D-pad and pops out when you press it (similar to the Ipaq stylus)..

Riiight. Well at least Jurai is predictable in his comments.

As Gameboy said, the GBA SP is kinda sucky in design. I thought they'd finally caught on with the original GBA, and then they go and make that thing. If I eventually buy a GBA, it'd have to be the original + afterburner. I hate the buttons and layout on the PSP, but I know its just a prototype. It will improve in design, of course. I'd prefer they did not use a PS-style dpad, but that'd be better than what appears to be really thin buttons. I'd be happy with a good 8-way solid piece dpad. I wonder if they'll find room to put an analog on it? Anyone hear any rumors about its specs yet?

I don't know about you but I dont move my consoles much so the xbox's size doesn't bug me. I mean maybe for someone in a japanese apartment or something yeah, but in an american home I dont see it as an issue.


That has to be one of the most ignorant posts I've ever seen/read in my life.

i was kinda thinking the same thing, but didn't feel like saying it

I don't switch my consoles around at all, but "size does matter" to me.

Me neither. I got all 10 of mine connected to the same TV (about 5 feet from my Mac). The only thing I need to change, is the A/V Cables whenever I wanna play a different system. Saturn is plugged in the back of the VCR, so I never take those out. Just the front A/V Jacks I use for me other Nine.
