Tiger Telematics and Gizmondo announced today that the official UK launch date of the Gizmondo System will be October 29, 2004. The rest of us will get to wait until early 2005 to purchase one without importing. I'm getting anxious to see what this system can really do. Read the full Press Release after the jump:

reply to:Just bought a PSP for 9 year old son. I did my research and found that it was the most applicable system for my needs. You see, I wanted my son to listen educational recordings burned onto the PSP from discs I have while playing the games. Now that I have bought it, I don't believe that I've been any more disappointed in a purchase. I'm fairly computer literate as is my wife. Neither of us could down load the educational CD nor any music for that matter to the memory stick. I called Sony and they tried to guide me thru only to say that it was a problem with my PC, I took it to work, where I have a brand new PC.......same thing. I call sony back and the tech stated that he did not know what the problem was, but it was my problem, not a problem with the PSP. It comes with no games, all I have been able to do with this is watch advertisements for games I can buy, watch second rate no-name music videos, and see trailers for movies that have not been in Theaters in 6 or 8 months. I can see all of that on my TV. If you ask me the PSP is a HUGE ripoff, and the folks at Sony know it!!
just to let you know, i have never had a problem with my psp. it is a great little machine, and can do anything i want it to. this thing has the best graphics and gameplay out of any handheld i have ever owned and i have had them all(if only the sega had lasted...). apparantly it is a user problem (RTM!!!) and the user doesnt deserve this system at all. i was able to drag and drop all music files and still continue to when i get bored with the music on it. you do have to convert the files from a cd into an MP3!!! see, a user problem...
