    Sneek Peek at Microsoft's handheld !



    And they say it's running H-A-L-O so if that's true it may wireless capabilities.

    Not exactly a gaming machine, it's a handheld that plays games. Looks more like a mini-PC.

      Yup that's what I thought myself. Actually it looks more like a big Palm Pilot or small Tablet PC.

        I gotta say, that thing is huge, and rather hideous...

          With its size, it is definitely not the prototypical handheld and much more like a tablet PC. But nevertheless, it will be interesting to see what MS tries to pull off with this thing.

            Looks like that damn thing will cost just as much as a 360.

                We'll find out soon enough. I wonder if that's just a protype and not the actual unit that will be unveiled.

                  The video was interesting, and it looks like it might be pricy too.

                    That's what I'm thinking. I think that's why Microsoft's rep said that the video was a year old, and it was their "initial exploration into this form factor", meaning that it was almost like a prototype, and maybe the actual unit will be much smaller.

                      Someone in this forum had come up with a real cool picture (mock up) of the so called Microsoft Handheld. It looked like a 360 controller with all the buttons and had a LCD screen right in the middle of the controller and it was playing HALO.

                          Doesn't look like something I'd buy. The picture on the main page of IGN looks terrible. I doubt it would come out looking like that and with so few buttons.

                          The mock-up of the 360 controller handheld was just a fan created thing. There's virtually no chance of the handheld looking like that.

                              But I'd buy it in a heartbeat I'm pretty sure... The 360 controller is so comfortable, that even if it was larger, I wouldn't care.
