Really? I though they were already out. I thought I saw boxes of them at the store.. must have been a promo/hype builder.

It will be ages before they hit the markets here in Australia, we always lag behind the rest of the world, especially for movies, though that is improving lately with a number of movies having worldwide release dates.

but you can get those free ones, with an iPod and a PC and a 500000 inch plasma TV!
I was never one for handhelds, I like my console/PC Tower better

Id prefer one of those HP handhelds with an inbuilt mobile phone, so that I can check my email from anywhere.

From what I've heard the PSP is going to suck ass :/. From what I've read in reviews is that the battery lasts about 1 1/2 hour, eventually the square button stops functioning, and the cd's are prone to popping out. Funzo, since youre getting one, please fill me in on if these things are true. Thanks.

ive never liked anything to do with playstation, ive always gone with the more powerful and less popular competitor ie. N64, Dreamcast, XBOX (all of which i prefer to PS2) so if i were to get a handheld, id opt for the Nintendo DS

k
well i have the ds too, and while it is an inovative system, the PSP blows it away in comparison. Now about 6 hours away from getting one, I'll fill you in on what I've heard. No the UMD's do not pop out unless you are a ridalin addicted mental patient who twists the PSP with unbelieveble force. Second, the battery lasts anywhere from 3 1/2 to 7 hours depending on the game. A constantly streaming and graphicly amazing game like Rige Racers will suck up the battery nmuch faster than say a puzzle game like Lumines. And if your that concerned about the battery life, the battery is interchangeble and you can change it right in the middle of game play, so just get another.
