RB5-Black

Nice

I was thinknig about splashing out @ lik-sang myself. Multi Region and 110-240V compatible sounds good.

Matt

When is the delivery date and how much did you pay?

What software did you order with it?

Steve.

This is just a playstation one in portable form - right ?

Supposed to be half way between a PS1 and PS2, but the battery life is terrible.

Don't they reckon it's better than the PS2 as it supports NURBS rather than polygons?

Saw a promo vid of the games confirmed, some looked truly awesome, gt4, metal gear acid & and a new wipEout. Can't wait.

When did they say it'd be delivered?

Stunning looking machine - Sony do it again.

m3matt

it is far nearer a PS2 than a PS1, and you can use it as an MP3/ATRAC3+ and video player.

Damn impressive for a hand held

What you never see is the backpack you have to wear that stores the battery pack for it
Does look nice though I will admit
Atari Lynx was the best handheld (hardware wise, not games) back in the game gear, gameboy days.
