Does anyone think PSP/Game Boy Micro mash-up (obviously closer to the Micro)?
Edmund.
Anyone who wants NES ROMS, SNES ROMS, TurboGraphyx16, Genesis or Master System, Gameboy, GameGear, should come to Chinatown here in NYC.
I bought a 2GB memory stick for my PSP with greatest hits from all these consoles on it to play on PSP and they work great. Splatterhouse, Ninja Gaiden 1, 2,3,3tc, Revenge of Shinobi, and a bunch more.
Yepp....pretty much,
like the Gameboy micro had a 1 night stand with his cousin of a Psp and has some freaky inbred child :P
with a little bit of wii white mixed in
WiiSP
Not to mention Apple's wallpaper, Creative's clear plastic coating, and the GBA Micro's... everything else?
Also, Gabe, Y comes after X (at least in my alphabet).
Ignore the above comment obviously meant for Gabe.
Clear coating, double shot? I think Apple owns the patent on double shot, eh?
Eh? plenty of companies use the dual injection plastic, just look at the ds lite.
Am i alone here on this but i HATE the Sony Buttons - i still get confused with where square triangle etc is - ugh..
GOd of War - always messes me up :(
The rest of us learned to differentiate shapes in pre school....
sure genius - lets not forget how conventional it is to know that B comes after A or X comes after Y as typical buttons do
or wait - did they teach us in kindergarten the numerical order of shapes :slap:
Does X come after Y?
I'm firmly on Sony's side on this one - owning a DS and a 360 is really confusing.
"B comes after A or X comes after Y" "numerical order of shapes"
Would "alphabetical order" not have made more sense?
Plus, after about half an hour of playing on a controller, you should have a bit of an idea where the buttons are... So you hating the symbols on a controller makes u out either to have a terrible memory or not be able to distinguish one shape from the other...
when did "differentiate" shape become the same as "numerical order"?
Indeed I thought preschool teaching toys were the ones having the 'patent' on simple symbols on things rather than sony.
I'm sure there were playskool buttons with circles and triangles before there were playstations.
Oh as a words of support I do agree though that it can be hard to mentally link those symbols to some gamefunctions, there are no logical link in many cases, and if you play several games the whole thing can become muddled when there's no logic I imagine, one might tend to classify a circle and square and triangle as 'basic shape' in the back of your mind and then when they are all basic shapes you forget you must differentiate between the shapes to remember what function they represent.
Y comes after X.
Also, Gabe, Y comes after X (at least in my alphabet).
I zee
Do you know that there is a cultural nuance behind these symbols?

Every self-proclaimed otaku should have these memorized :)
Interesting stuff musouka.
Gameboy Micro looks, PSP buttons and Mac OSX wallpaper. Nice.
"Petty gripes" aye? If it was anyone else youd be jumping down their throats...
Anyone could have made that mock-up in photoshop in about 10 minutes. It's pretty average...
Nice. Nintendo too copied Sony's buttons... I guess Sony is a leader in making gaming buttons... :D
Are you an idiot, cause Nintendo made consoles way before sony did.
I mean the Nintendo DS has new buttons that are used in PlayStation. They are not the normal Nintendo buttons !!
Fake.

That's obviously a Sony Micro Lite, hacked to run Tiger.
WANT.
A gPod, a gPod!!!
LOL, it's like the last-gen iMac w/ Tiger, a PSP and a NDS had a baby sized baby.
Still no dual-analog sticks. -_-
China still lack creativity.
Yet another proof that china is creatively bankrupt.
Uh, not really. China's practically a superpower at this point. Here at the US, we're bankrupt. -_-
Gemei?
A Chinese brand.
Their products (I mean PMP) are like PSP,NDS or other...(older? NES?)
I mean they are very very very similar..
Thank you?
