    I used to be into the handheld scene but sort of died off after the linx, gamegear and gameboy. I am interested in the PSP but the rumours of a 300 - 400 quid price tag is a little steep for something that is a minature update of the PS2 in all reality, will wait a while and watch the price drop then get one, the Nintendo DS will get a look in but as with both of these unit's they will be thoroughly tried and tested before cash is handed over.

    ATM, I've got a GBA for games like Advance Wars and I use my Nokia 7610 for Java games/GBC & MAME emulators.

    I might be tempted by a PSP when it comes out, but I'll reserve judgement until it's released.

    I am probably going to be buying both the Nintendo DS and the Playstation Portable. I am a big fan of handheld gaming and I love my GBASP.

    I have an ngage (old style), have to say dont think many of the games are worth the price tag, but the radio is great
    The saving grace is the ability to put multiple games on one MMC card, hence i have about 10 games on 1 card.

    I also have a pocket PC and am looking at getting some strategy games for that, thers ment to be a laser squad type thing out will have a look.

    You forgot the Gizmondo!

    I've got a GBA right now, but I'd love one of those PSPs when they're finally available. So much widescreen niceness - unlike those stupid n-gages
