ANOTHER DS rival?!

[touchds]

Just wanted to show you this.. high price, not many games...short battery life.. and No, its not the PSP!

www.Gizmondo.com

What do you guys think of this sort of product? Is it worth the company trying?

I've seen this thing before, and i DON'T think you even can consider this as a rival for the DS.

[edit]

and also, i wont think of it as a game machine witch can play music and movies, it will be more a multimedia machine witch can play a few games.

[touchds]

Well, one thing is for sure. It didn't have over 2 million preorders :-P

Giz...mondo? The thing looks like... well... a piece of junk. It's even worse than the PSP. This is definitely in no way even CLOSE to being a rival to the DS. That's what I think.

I've seen so many different wnnabes of the ds. Over 10 since it was announced, in fact. There are ads for them in Game Informer. They don't deserve to serve the ds, nonethelless rival it!

ooooh i see what this. Ive seen it on the TV. Very sleek looking ads i might errrr add

i like the dses design better though and if I had to chose between the psp and the unit i would get the psp over that(i already have the ds and im not geting the psp)

Bottom line: $420 american. We have another N-Gage on our hands.

No threat in my eyes to the DS anyway. But you never know. Well we do... ITS CRAP!
