A handheld xbox? Ive seen this already on IGN's predictions but gimme a damn break, who the hell would think they would release another 'system' when there last one has had the worst failure rate in the history of gaming. 100% false imo.
well, according to the 360 and a shortage of wiis, microsoft is leading the industry right now, imo
agreed xbox sux balls it cant have a kid
A portable XBOX!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna get a heart attack!!!! Having Halo 2 on my portable gaming device!!!! I hope it's true cause you know how microsoft has surpassed Sony's PS2 and PS3, maybe they can even surpass the psp!!!! But I won't buy it if it has vista on it cause it would then get a million viruses will downloading homebrew for it XD!!!!! But Halo 2 portable (and with wifi online) would be enough for me to cough up to 350 dollars!!!! Imagine they'd put 1gb ram and a processor as powerful as an xbox (the psp, meh, it's a ps2). OMG Halo 2 portable and online!!!! And propably has a better interface like all windows software!!!! Maybe if it comes with vista then with portablexboxupdates.com I can install Mac on it and that way is the perfect portable!!!!
theres no shortage of wii's idiot and it's selling damn well, especially for a system that came out a year after the 360
still waiting for a wii with a dvd drive and hd
i dont want to play a heldheld thats going to melt in my hands!!!!!!
portable xbox: probably a housebrick big and heavy and you can only play outside in the canada winter or you get burnt
First of all, a portable system like the PSP is nowhere near the power of a console, just because the size needed for all of the parts, unless you want to pay a pretty buck, and developers want there system to sell, even if they have to take it down a notch.
Don't get your panties in a wad you bunch of sony fanboys. I say move to Japan where people like you are appreciated.
Actually, in some areas, the psp surpasses the ps2. I think it falls short on memory (ram and such), and I remember reading an article saying that the ps2 could send 2 commands per clock cycle or something like that.
I think the psp is pretty close to the power of a console.
microsoft might be leadin the console industry only because theyve had an extra year to sell.
and the sell more 360s because they all break down so pelple buy new ones
i agree with you about why microsoft's leading, except for on the broken console part... Microsoft replaces inoperable consoles for anyone who bought and live in the countrys Xbox is released in.. so they generally lose money each time somebody's console breaks.
They don't however replace inoperable replacements.. which somewhat defeats the purpose for sending one.. so they do make money in those cases.
I thought the public beta was canceled
Seriously people. So what if halo comes up on a portable? It'll probably suck ball. Remember the psp? OMG MGSPO on the PSP!!! So what? It didnt sell that well did it? The thing is that console remakes on portables do not sell well. Portables are for on the go and such a big game wouldnt be fit for a protable. I got a psp and I've enjoyed games like crush and lumines more than other cheap remakes.
Uhh yeah... there is a great shortage of Wiis... the majority of people who want one can't seem to find one in stores... lmao retards these days...
To rd261: MGS: PO sold extremely well.
putting 1gb of RAM into this portable xbox would be crazy. the psp only has 64mb. and they wouldnt put vista on it. why not? well... does the 360 have vista? your thinking more of a tablet pc or a laptop mate. and they wouldnt make it open source, so putting mac on it? damn. your pretty stupid.
and for the wii shortage. it DOES exist. ive been trying to get one for about a month now, and there is a HUGE shortage. and now im going to wait for the one with the hard drive, which i think nintendo would probably sell for about 299.99. and im guessing a 20gb? id pay 300 for it. and the psp redesign is going to take a while to hack. if it will be hackable that is. theyve learnt from there mistakes.
Sony announced a price drop today for the ps3 and announced a 80gb ps3 bundled with motorstorm! Found news on gamegossip (best game news site cause they get everything before other places, but it's boring cause only nerds post comments there unlike here that comments here joke and disscuss against each other ect.). Anyways here is the news:
Sony Computer Entertainment America(SCEA), Inc. today announced a new 80GB model of its PLAYSTATION3 (PS3TM) computer entertainment system. Beginning in August, the new PS3 model will be available in North America for a suggested retail price of $599/$659 CND and will be sold with the popular online-enabled racing game MotorStormTM. In conjunction with this news, the company also announced that effective immediately, the current 60GB PS3 model will be available in North America for$499/$549 CND, or $100 below the original launch price.
By featuring an expanded hard disk drive (HDD), the new 80GB PS3 is designed to appeal to the online gaming and entertainment enthusiast, providing ample storage space to download more games and other entertainment content from PLAYSTATIONNetwork. There are currently more than 60 playable games and game-related downloads available through PLAYSTATIONStore, with expanded entertainment content coming soon. The new model features the million-selling game MotorStorm in the box, allowing up to 12 players to play online at one time, hitting the dirt in this visually-arresting, fast-paced racing title.
Sony fan boy
There isn't a shortage of Wiis, there are just more people that want them than Nintendo can possibly make.
And dfsgsdfg, the Wii has a HD...
i really want to see a portable from microsoft. i would probably get it. as long as its more gaming oriented then media driven, mostly like the psp.
Microsoft has always been about being media driven. Take Windows Vista for an example. And the Xbox was pretty much media driven too.
Mr. D In Action you're an idiot. Vista is an OS, of course it'll be *****ing media driven.
*facepalm*
xbox is not media driven at all...the ps3 is. in facti would say while the xbox is more gaming oriented and the ps3 is more everything else which is why i have both :-)
If anything ms is in last place Nintendo being first wit DS and WII's while Sony wit PS3 and PSP. Xbox360 and.........yea
You are stupid ms in not last dumb ass. how old are you? yes the nintendo is good if your 13. Are there any M rated games for the wii or ds? give me a break last. *****ing dumb ass. also what does ps3 even have?? I was pretty excited for Killzone 2 but it was all a lie. oh well they *****ed up.
Kevin... your a níggér! Nintendo has ton of M games. Resident Evil, Manhunt, YOUR MOM, etc..
"the man" - the Wii sucks if u call yourself a gamer > its for people who either 1) dont normally play games coz they suck at them/its too hard for them --OR-- 2) they just wanna play sports in their living room looking like a total *****.
you buy a X360 if u want to play the best games + a PS3 if you want a HD movie player ---> PS3 will be a games console when it actually gets good games to play on it.
GOPAL892005 i totally agree with you 100%
I wouldn't buy a portable XBOX. I like the PSP because I never have to buy games for it lol. Just a rumor.
Anyone who says the Wii isn't a "real" console, is just upset it's kicking the PS3's ass.
wow, you guys have no idea what you are talking about at all.
I know, they're all just ***** talking fansboys.

I know, it sucks for you Xbox owners doesn't it.
Mate, seriously? Did you actually read it? It was all said in sarcasm. Take a better look before you post next time.
XBOX 360 despite some technical problems in SOME systems, is a GREAT GAMING CONSOLE, proven if nothing else by the 100's of hours of fun I've gotten from my mates console. The PS3 is also great, as is the Wii for their own, similar reasons.
I'll gladly accept an MS handheld into the market (so long as its Vista free), and the only other new piece that actually interests me, the PS3 price drop, might push me towards the PS3 instead of XBOX 360 I was going to get.
Buy whatever you want, they're all good in some way IMO.
Chuck Norris, re-read the post. now read it again, more carefully this time. take note of the sarcasm. now realize how much of an idiot you are. now go stab yourself in the eye with a sharp pencil.
Conclusion: World better off.
Sryy but damn ur a geek... Only dumbas5s say 5hit like dat, cause its not even funny.. its nasty as hell.
so the xbox isnt last because it has M rated games???? LOL
zune is gonna be some how incorperated with the device.
If this exists that is.
and it will fail just like the ZUNE did
C'mon, people! There were 4 other announcements, and you guys start the platform wars again just because a liar said that MS would have an MSPortable. What about PS3 price drops? I have always been a loyal Nintendo guy, but with a PS3 price drop, I could see myself buying one. Wii Hard Drive? Sure, I'm up for it, but how much would it cost? The rest? PSP2? Well, maybe. E307 could spell disaster for the DS Lite if PSP2 and MSPortable are released/announced here. That could be interesting. But hey. I'm just a gamer here. No preferences or loyalties anymore. I've played the Wii and 360, and PS3 looks cool (minus the price), and I'm willing to vote in any direction, although I admit a soft spot in my heart for the DS. Anyways, let's just go back to gaming, okay, people? THANK you.
As much as I have nothing to add to your comment, I just wanted to thank you for that small dose of sanity. But seriously, this is Qj.net man, second only to GameFAQS in terms of newbs/fanbois.
I appreciate the effort, but on this site its frikkin wasted.
Now back to the fanboy brawl. This one ought to be as good as any forum on IMDB.
the DS, PSP, 360 and PS3. I like to think I'm not taking sides but from what I've seen, the DS sucks so badly I can fathom why it's doing to good aside from the childish asians that love that kind of lame $h!t. So one could say that the only reason it's doing so good is because it's for kids and asians. Regardless, the DS is pure junk! I own one and can't get rid of it. I don't even use it because it sucks so badly compared to the PSP. 360 is nice but the PS3 smokes it. Now I've been waiting for the X-Held to arrive and the PSPlite, this will be very cool if they are both showed at the E3. I'd like to see what the X-Held is capable of and whats new with the PSPlite. I haven't even touched a wii because it looks like an over grown DS and yall know how I feel about DS by now. So in short, I'm looking to the X-Held + PSPlite as real E3 news. I love nintendo but eveything after the N64 is just a flat flop to me. So I guess now it's up to MS and SONY to keep the market for gaming consoles going because if nintendo keeps up at the rate they are going, they'll fade away like sega did, if they keep producing trash like DS and wii, I eagerly anticipate their most imminent demise.
to ps3 and 360, never wii
In HEAVY agreement.
On one side, we have the MS fan boys (OMGOMGHALO!!!11oneoneon, MS RULZZ)
Then, we have the Sony fan boys
(GRAW!MS IS BAD! VISTA SUXKZ!!111)
Seriously people, there is more to this article than just the rumor of a hand held xbox-esque device. Plenty of other cool things to see.
You all need to get off your biases and just ****ing view the article!
Yes! A hand held from MS would be cool, no reason to fight about it.
Yes, it is unrealistic to think about running Halo 2 on it (regardless of how cool it would be)
One more thing while I am on my rant here. Buying a Wii does not make you suck. The Wii is a very entertaining console. You all need to forget new graphics and physics and go back to the game play. The Wii has some pretty ingenious stuff. It was designed as an inexpensive,fun and interactive system.
"breathing heavily"
Ok. I'm done.
On my current basis, you must not take the NZ Herald seriously. A lot of former employees there that worked in the technology division were anti-Nintendo fanboys. One that I know of is still working there.
When it comes to gaming, please don't take the NZ Herald seriously.
NZ Herald is a terrible news site. I take anything on there with a huge grain of salt, and their print newspaper isn't much better.
In this case, there are rumours on the internets, these guys write about it, and that somehow validates the stuff they read on some other rumour site, because they're a "news" site.
Gah.
Being a New Zealander, I am ashamed that our biggest newspaper is spreading rumours like this. I wouldn't say that they're terrible, but if you get the chance, do have a look as to what "National" headlines are (i.e what constitutes as "news" in our country). Sigh...
like someone else said... lol the source is the nz herald, i mean come on... we all known that pspupdates is a joke when it comes to news, but man... this is like the blind leading the blind... nz herald probably got it from another sites 'e3 wish list' and reported it as news.. nz is so out of the way when it comes to videogames, so please, never ever look to nz sites for game information again... thanks.
