Best handheld design?

I'm sure you could too, just like I could find them on ANY handheld device...

Thankfully, they are something that can only be seen when the system is viewed in the light with nothing on the screen. Once you start playing, you aren't going to be able to see them...

I know, I'm just sayin is all.

I have PSP and I took such good care of it at first. But the second I started sliding it in and out of the little case thing it started to get tiny hairline scratches. They don't bother me personally, but I just find it impossible that someone wouldn't have any scratches at all if they have put any significant use on their PSP.
 
PSP unopened - is gorgeous but for functionality, ugh... too easy to scratch screen, easy to get fingerprints all over it

GBA SP - Gorgeous design but front light is a tad weak. And the L/R buttons are way too small :( LOVE the clamshell design.

GB Pocket - Very convenient design and it looks attractive. This one's a winner.

There is something about this sentence that tells me you don't own a PSP and possibly have not actually seen one.
 
PSP and then the GBA SP.

My PSP constantly has smudges and still is the most beautiful system ever designed. And don't give me any old ass systems with a tiny ass screen and like 4 or 5 total buttons. It might have been a good design at the time, but it wouldn't sell jack today, even if it had great graphics.

Nostalgia must at some point give way to reality.

Yeah, but those scratches ARE small enough that someone not looking closely might not even see them. It also depends on the room lighting. A room that isn't well lit will not reveal the defects, but direct sunlight will reveal the smallest scratches.

Izzat Tomba on that screen? I thought Game Axe was an NES thing?

Yes, I realize we're talking about HK manufacturers here.
