TV Games, VG Pocket 50 Games

Gamestop said:
Carry a complete arcade around in your pocket! The VG Pocket Handheld Gaming System combines 50 classic arcade games into a single portable unit. Play the all-time biggest hits wherever you go, with the 2" LCD screen. You can also hook it up your TV for big-screen action!

I saw this on Gamestop's site today... the only thing that interests me is the LCD screen part. It appears to be a unit with some sort of 50 game collection that can be played either on a TV or on the unit's screen... and for $30, that seems quite novel. Actually, that seems insane for Pelican. Anyone know anything about this?
 
What the heck are those button labels? Diamond and Circle I can guess, but the left and top?

$30 with an LCD screen capable enough for 50 games to at least sort of work on is a bit impressive, though. Not to mention that it has TV-Outs, something both the PSP and DS lack.
 
I've seen these pelican things before. For some reason they claim higher difficulties or slight variations on the same game to be a whole different game altogether. Don't be surprised if the unit only actually has 5 games with ten difficulty settings.
 
I'm just curious as to whether the screen is actually as they portray it to be... this seems almost slightly impressive for $30.
