Gizmondo US launch delayed...

Permalink Topics: Spies and Rumors, Gizmondo News, Gizmondo GPS, Gizmondo Games

For those of you paying attention the original launch date of Gizmondo here in the USA was supposed to be August 11th. Well according to our friends over the pond at the Register, the date will now be sometime on October. A spokeswoman for Gizmondo was qouted as saying "August is a slow month for retail, and with two major items of software delayed, it made little sense to launch the machine". Those two items of software? The company won't say but folks on the internet (being genisus that we are) have speculated that one is top-tier US game title (Madden 06, ESPN,etc) and the other is a navigation based game tied into the systems GPS functionality.

The best GPS ever and i cant understand why it is so cheap! Under £200, the best GPS i have ever had, I had 4 so far because i travel a lot in my car and this is the dogs! The soft is much better than TomTom and the graphics are just amazing. there is a walking mode and it is freakingly correct to the step! Voice navigation, 3d and flat maps, loads very quikly, the best buy i have done so far. I did not realize when i first got it, but this send sms, play video games like a psp...beleive me, it is mad and does mp3 player and camera! i just dont understand why it is so cheap! Simply the best present ever!

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...
