PSP Mini

:lol

I don't own a PSP but I'd buy that if it was cheaper than the current PSP's price.

Better have some long-ass fingers if you want to use the L and R buttons.
Didn't notice that. :lol
 
Goddamn, that fake GameCube SP is the hottest piece of technology I have ever seen :(

Oh .. and I'd be MUCH more inclined to buy a PSP if it was clamshell.

HAWT i really dig that design, i think it could work too, maybe even with today's tech. it would probably end up just as or more expensive than a PSP but, wow... I love it :)

Overpriced and not good looking, it's always seemed rather basic to me.

good god. I'm glad you are not a consumer product designer. You probably buy those chromed out ghetto blaster stereos with XTREME BASS TUBES!!! and glitter all over them. :lol
 
Two things:

1) Is that iPodNano real?
2) OMG that GC Advance render is sex...without a condom!

Those are the type of things that you would find in all kinds of sci-fi movies like I-Robot or Star Trek NG.

I wonder what an Apple portable game console would look like.

yes nano is real, was announced today at an apple confrence.
and yes it is sex without a condom... but the buttons on the screen with those LED's make it look like crap IMO.

This thing looks bigger than the super mini iriver that was released A YEAR AGO.. Anyway ipods are incredible ugly and sterile looking.

That portable GC is f-ing beautiful!
F*ck you to hell Nintendo!!!

Do u seriously think Nintendo won't go there one day because if you do you're wrong. Just not soon enough for you huh?

1) No
2) Iriver's look much, much worse. They're like 1980's ugly, IMO
 
Actually I think a clamshell design would be just great for the system. I like my "portables" portable. It would be even better if they could put the disc-bay in the back and reduce the width even more to practically the screen size. Plus the clamshell would be good protection against scratches.

Sure it might not look as "sexy" as many like to say. But it would definately be more practical.

"omg you don't like the ipod you must be insane"

Probably.

This is sexy

that little player is awesome...but something tells me the fact that it looks like a micro GameCube might have something to do with your ardor. :lol

Not soon enough is correct! A portable GC would have extended the software life of the GC. They could than take as much time as they want with the Revolution.

Yeah it just might, but my point stands, the ipod is just plain looking to me, and it is overpriced, I don't care what anyone says.

I got one of these before my Zen and I dig the design, but the sound is kinda crappy.

what is the battery life on that little thing? where is the screen?... Does it work as a portable firewire drive? how much does it hold?

seems like everyone who doesn't like the iPod doesn't have one, and tries to justify their shitty keychain MP3 player is 'better' :lol

Why does every PSP thread turn into an iPod/mp3 player thread now?

PSP = premium handheld
iPod = premium mp3 player

DEAL WITH IT!

oh and on-topic: flip top PSP = stupid. I actually like that the controlls are far apart. GBA SP killed my hands. I liked the GBA original better.

those look more like two more strap loops rather than L/R buttons to me
Those others things on the bottom half of the PSP mini don't exactly look pressable. It's as if the creator didn't even know the PSP had L and R buttons.
 
Meh, iPod was sexy when it came out a few years ago, but geez, it's just getting old now. "Look, we took the original design and made it SMALLER! BILLION SELLER!". And they're right... shame really. Wish they'd come up with something that had the same sexiness as the iPod when it 1st came out, but was totally new. iPods design is so boring.

It would be a boring grey rectangle with buttons you can't see (detects where you press by touch sensitivity when you push down the clamshell top) and a 10" lcd.
 
Yeah, I think I could go for that. I like the way my DS clamshells (particularly in the way sleep mode is tied to it), and assuming the controls didn't bump into the screen when closed, this would remove some of the screen paranoia people have about it.

But yeah, that Gamecube SP... I think what sells it best is that display when it's closed, how would they even pull something like that off? There's literally no backing where LCDs are for the characters or anything, and I doubt the whole top would be a screen too... that's something you see in sci-fi movies, but how would it be realized?

OLEDs look like that. They need no reflective or backlit surface behind them.
 
Just my 2 cents:
- no start, select, audio, video, etc. buttons
- no relief in the top half for where the buttons and stick are
- a little on the big side... make it smaller :)
