I saw that on the G4 channel the other day. Retro styling with interchangable faceplates like a phone to personalize: very cool.

the graphics from what i have seen seem pretty smooth. but i am getting a media player for my GBA so i will have to put up some video of that. OWNING one PSP at a time

[accordaffair]

Dude that model's hands are all nasty looking...

[TonK]

I picked one up along with Pokemon Leaf Green...

I like the Pokemon!

[92accordlxtuner]

hands down winner over the PSP! This will take off in Ipod style! I want one!

Finally nintendo got something right (although they did steal form Apple's Ipod). I can't wait for the Revolution either. Its gonna have a store like iTunes, where you can DL any Nintendo game ever made! Excite Bike, Donkey Kong, Mario 3!!!

I wonder if you can hook up the micro to a TV to play on a bigger screen? (would be a nice feature for those of us with car-tv's

i dont see the big deal about it, i aint getting one

[DUNKiNUTS]

size and portibility (spelling). Just like the Ipods, the Ipod nano its the same thing just smaller but it sells.

lmao just to clarify with you guys.. this thing DOES NOT play nintendo DS games.. it's just a smaller game boy advance/sp

so the sony psp still wins

well thats a given, a single screen system can't play a dual screen system game but the PSP is used at gamestop/EB for over 200, 250 last i checked.

yes they are wayyy too expensive which is why you should get one for free like i did at freepsps.com

i love my psp, its freaking awesome! i play snes and genesis games on it while im in school...and the multiplayer is cool if you have a player with one

i also got a free ds on the way and the same site that gives out free dses also gives out free micros...i thought about getting the micro instead of the ds for free but as cool as it is to be small, the screens looks way too small

if you want a free ds, micro, xbox, or ps2 slimline go to freegamingsystems.com

[DUNKiNUTS]

don't you have to pay and get other people to do the same?
