What should I ...

Ok, I'm back here for a few days, and I'm wondering what should I get. So, help me out, I need to buy something, I don't care what, as long as it's small and portable, some gadget.... Anyways, I'll be around for ten days, so suggest a few good things, and no I'm not buying from Ebay, especially an empty PSP box for $160!!!

Gamebody color. They're hip and cool.

GBA Micro or GBA SP is not bad, at least they're small

IPod Nano nano

DS + Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. It's better than SOTN.

Mario Kart and WiFi USB adaptor will be out soon too.

GBC - No, old stuff.
GBA Micro - tentative, looks awesome, don't like the price.
GBA SP - No, no way.
IPod Nano - tentative, I have only seen pictures and don't know much about them (sorry not been in planet Earth for the past few months.
DS - tentative, Castelvania looks awesome! maybe... anything better out there? Nintendogs?!

Save your cash and get an Xbox360. They're less than 30 days away now.

Those products are all inferior compared to the NES Micro!

> Save your cash and get an Xbox360. They're less than 30 days away now.

Or alternatively flush hundreds of dollars down the toilet and buy a cheap door stop.

Err, xbox360 ain't portable. Octothorpe you are out of your mind...

Creative Zen Vision.

There has been an invention called the flash cart.


Better? Probably not, but these are some other good games that make the system worth picking up.

Kirby Canvas Curse
Meteos
Nintendogs
Advance Wars: Dual Strike
Metroid Pinball
Nanostray

I'm with ENAY, XBox360 will be a joke, especially to those of us who are interested in consoles and specialized hardware, not repackaged PC's.

Yeah, nevermind Castlevania, Canvas Curse is the real reason to get a DS.

I just saw some of the video of Metroid, and it looks like a great game, but IT'S NOT OUT!! yet... :(

Huh? Wasn't Metroid a launch title?

Sod portability, it's a freakin' Xbox360 dude!

Exactly. Nevermind portability, the reason not to buy it is that it's a freakin' XBox!

If you're in to playing emulated games and developing (via C++/SDL) then check out the new GP2X:

Quality Pics

forget all that stuff mentioned above... what you really need is something that'll give you immediate gratification... and something that you can carry around with you that will stand up to the rigors of the most demanding environment...

that's why you might consider purchasing a single share in the Red Ocktober Week On The Moon public offering... and amazingly enough, the price of a single share just happens to be $160!!


or if that doesn't interest you... what about if i name a star after you, or the person of your choice... whomever you choose will receive an original, 81/2 x 11 inch computer print out of the location of their star, with THEIR NAME ON IT!!!


and if you call within the next 10 minutes... you'll get a free, autographed picture of BigFoot!!!
yes, the big guy, and his wacky north woods friends... to hang up in your tent or barracks wall...

hurry, this is a limited time offer... it won't last long...

Sounds like an incredible deal there Red!! But I'm not that interested at the moment with exactly that which you mentioned. It's probably gonna be an MP3 Player, since I have been hearing ma musiac, YO!!, and it's a sweeta!!! And since I'm going to be out of touch with technology for another three months, hell I want something to keep me entertained. Game boy might be good, but the music lifts the spirit a lot. Or what the hell, I'll get them both!
Sorry, the Sony PSP will easily break to where I'm going, stupid big uncovered bright shiny beautiful screen, with awesome design and capabilities beyond imagination, ah hell. STAY AWAY SONY!!!
OKAY, now I need musica baby, and at least two DS/GBA games that will keep me up going at the game for more and more and more, and, more, more, more. I need good free music too, cuz I ain't paying nuthing after the machines and ma games.
OK, another ok, OK? I need a good MP3 Playa with good space, and that it won't break if thrown around a bit, only a little few intense hikes for three months. Damn, batteries, ah, well it won't be hikes all the time.
Capish, o no capish? Now, I must embark on the quest to find the jewels. At least ya all can help with the best of the best in music selection, thank you all. If you help me out I’ll take a pic of all the gear and you will all feel nice, but take a shower after and you will feel nicer. Be back after ma run (no mp3 player :( ) and hopefully there will be something around here.

Note: pardon de French.

okaaaaaayyy... your loss :)

if you must have something else, have you looked at the new iPods with video capabilities... you can download video now as well as music, what do they call it itunes, imovie, idunno...

--Mike

> okaaaaaayyy... your loss :)

Oh my god! My life will never be the same again. :)

The gp2x can play music, videos, and best of all, you can create your own games for it. :)

F the gp2x, get me what I asked. Remember pic of everything at the end, so you might want to hurry up!!!!! Want that treat!!

Forget iPod - you want a GOOD music player, get an iRiver. They play OGG aswell.

xmlspy, are you asking for suggestions, or are you just conducting a poll to see how many people suggest what you really want (the ipod or whatever). If you have your mind made up, just get it!

I didn't even think about what a strange question this is. Why do you need other people to tell you what gadget to buy? I mean, if you're desperate to spend the money on just anything, then buy me a digital camera. Nikon Coolpix please.

I agree don't get an IPod, they even look like a cheap piece of white plastic too.

I got a Creative Zen Player YO! and it's a sweetah. So you all have goodie sleep. @#!* Ipod breaks easy... It's like Sony and Apple have a common bond!! maybe they will unite against MS!! err, whatever yo bros, have me stuff and lika like.

can those things play videos as well as music?

Why spend £270 on an X-Box 360, when you can get a graphics card for £270 which is miles better in performance. Fcuk Micro$oft.

darn it, I can't find that penny-arcade comic.

Yeah but they come in a nice cheap black plastic aswell!

Lika Like? Wasn't that some kind of Zelda enemy?
