And do it right. The DS is good for my daughter and the PSP just dose not offer what want. And what I want is killer games trigers instead of bumpers, two analogs, and rumble standard.

You'll get about a 1/2 hour of battery life.

MS can't make hardware to save their lives.

How many times has this been rumored?

CompGeek6690d ago

They better not call it the Xboy, that's SO lame.

DiLeCtioN6690d ago

am happy with my psp and definitely wont buy this for sure, but ill like to see what it offers.

PS360WII6690d ago

What you want would cost more than a handheld should cost and Mike is right that battery wouldn't last even an hour. And hey give DS it's due it has plenty of games for 1-99 and yes even that 20-25 age frame.

Well if MS wants in I suppose they are allowed I just don't know if they can get what they want. Look at the Zune. It's been out and yet no one buys them. I think they are coming out with a revised Zune... maybe that'll be the handheld thingamajig

yeah but the zune was released at an awful time. Had they waited and released near to an iPod, people might want to upgrade (always happens) and then take a look at the zune. As it happens almost all the people who wanted an MP3/4 player already had one. It's all timing in that market.

THAMMER16690d ago (Edited 6690d ago )

Just like you I know the games that are available for the DS and the PSP. You never know they mite do it and actually do the right things or they mite totally bomb.

No matter who makes it even if it was the PSP2 or the DS extreme I still need dual analogs, rumble, and some truly appealing games. Oh yeah a standard HDD would be nice too.

I think a lot some gamers just have a problem with M$ and Xbox. My problem is with crappy games and horrible control schemes.

I also own a Zune. What sold me was the larger screen and the built in FM radio.

On the battery life, you can get 12 - 13 hours with out a charge. I use mine 9 hours a day. I did like 2 weeks of comparing it to all of the the available competition. If you go into a store you will se they sell pretty well. They sell nothing like ipods because ipod means MP3 player in the ear of the general public. But yeah the Zune was the best choice for me hands down.

Its creator eliminated components that were not essential to speed up its development, such as the Bluetooth of the controls.

As a kid i had some heart attacks playing this game. The soundtrack right on point with those close calls. I love this game.

shadowhaxor18h ago

Agreed. I still love it and play it often. Still sucks that Disney was like, nah... this game didn't do well, when it did well against other racers and reviewed well.

Split/Second was one of the game I enjoyed playing. In fact it's still the most popular video on my YouTube channel. It's a gameplay of Split/Second posted 15 years ago. This past month 25 people viewed it. Split/Second is a favourite amongst racing gamers worldwide.

This game was super awesome and hella fun playing split-screen with the homie. Trashing your friend’s car during split-screen competition using one of those QuickTime events was so funny haha

That and Blur both deserve a sequel, they came out within days of eachother.

The score for the first Plants Vs Zombies is such great, iconic music that it has a timeless quality. Not quite the level of Minecraft, but wonderful in its own right.
