Gizmondo Review

Permalink Topics: Portagame.com News, Editorials, Moma Eve, Gizmondo News, Gizmondo GPS

Maybe I haven't been paying enough attention but this is the first real Gizmondo Review I have read. And it's a doozy. While the author raves about the sleek lines and stylish interface he then procedds to brutally rip apart everything from the launch titles to the weak GPS and battery life. There are also some scary qualities of the Gizmondo, such as the ability to monitor where the device is at all times. Kinda big brother I would think. The author ends up giving it a 40%. Go check it out and let us know your thoughts......

Holy crap! i cant believe i dint notice this. the psp is coming out witha gps module for it so then wont you be able to see where it is at all times if you lost it?!? i've lost tons of portable equipment and now this might be the end to loosing your expensive hardware. Do you think it would work??

Hi

I've posted a few interesting articles about the Gizmondo. I think it is doomed to failure http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/blog/_archives/2005/3/20/456332.html and the new price drop isn't going to help either http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/blog/_archives/2005/4/12/575768.html

Gizmondo is a great system, give it time. That is a bad review from bad writers. And who mentioned PSp's with GPS ChroNova?

Doomed to failure my backside, 3 is not a crowd, and since N-Gage Qd is last gen and Zodiac just got canned, ut is the third.

Simple, if you have got a brain, dont buy it, get a DS or a PSP - seriously - disappointing is a nice word for the console - i got one in August, worst purchase of my life


AVOID AVOID AVOID

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...
