Gizmondo : Is anyone interested?

[son_of_bael]

Trouble is, it undeniably looks rubbish. Consumer electronics entertainment devices (woah long words), especially handheld ones, need to look good. Think about the iPod, and the PSP. Even the original Gameboy looked cool and new at the time.

I reckon people would judge it on its looks no matter what dev companies sign for it. I'll pick one up when they're cheap as chips though :P.

Yeah, the design is truely shocking, I really don't know why they went with it. and 3.5hr battery? Give me a break.

Absolutely killer specs, on paper it's more powerful than a PSP, though I don't know if it actually works out like that in-game. But not much else as far as gaming goes.

Already smells like Tiger's earlier forgettable Game.com console.

Halo on Gizmondo, if this ever happens it'll have 1 killer app.

There was one in Comet the other day to play on, but it no matter what I did it displayed a blue screen of death! I rebooted it but the error kept on being displayed. The screen was pretty good, however the machine wasn't particularly confortable (it was tied down though) and the buttons didn't feel great.

You get a handheld like the PSP and it just sells itself, with or without a killer ap, with this however they really need some quality titles and quickly. I'm interested...but only if it launches with Halo

[sj33]

I must admit, I wasn't even aware the machine was avaliable yet... apparently it was released over here in October - what the hell? I must have slept through that day.

As long as Halo is somewhat like the XBox games, and not some lame spin-off with little to do with the main games, it could be awesome. I'd buy one, and I really don't care much about the Gizmondo itself.

Not sure about Halo with one d-pad and some face buttons. Good luck to them, though. It will be very interesting to see what happens if Microsoft keep throwing money at it.

I'd get any handheld the day it can emulate Neo Geo fully (bar pocket NG)

Dunno if anyones mentioned it, but on my way to a Training course for work i happened to walk past a Gizmondo Shop on London's Regents Street. It wasn't opened yet but i was like WTF??

They really do think they got a chance againts the big boys aint they?

[SubparMario]

Would you?

This thing is going to bomb without a trace. Your average man on the street would of at least had a faint idea of what a Nokia N-Gage was - and we all know what happened to that.

[Owain]

So if it bombs and hits the ?50 price mark as fast as people say it will, i'll be buying one.

nice big screen but odd buttons which are oddly placed!

I will probs get5 one for emu's and collecting purposes

i thought gizmondo was strictly no homebrew ? According to tiger at least
