There were some rumors last year that M$ was working on a Xbox Handheld device to combat PSP/DS.

If M$ were to announce a Xbox branded handheld device at E3 or TGS would you be interested in buying it?

No.

The Zune was a interesting concept, but in the end sounded more like a money drain. Hearing they want to make that device more capable to play games rather than be a fancy movie/music player gets me thinking if Microsoft is not sure how they want to approach the handheld world... I'll pass.

yeah i would buy one..back when the original xbox's came out i was looking at the duke controller and thinking how it would make a perfect handheld if there was a big screen in the middle of the controller because it fits your hand so good.

i really don't think that it would be a very smart business move based on the success of the DS in most countrys as well as the PSP. Sony has a strong grip on the handheld devices while nintendo are choking the hell out of the competetion. I believe that its too late for MS to produce on. The handheld war is over DS wins but Sony stays close and MS would be so far out, no really a good money maker. the zune will have the ability to play games in the future just like the Ipod thats about as close as i beilieve they will be getting to the competion

Jesus, can people stop thinking it would compete with the DS or PSP?

you know how long the GBA lived? 3 years.... I would be suprised if nintendo didnt announce a new handheld at this E3

Ya, perhaps a new xbox handheld would usher in a new generation of handhelds along with a new psp/ds in 08 or 09

Yeah, I was thinking about how cool it would be if the games had achievements and were maybe digitally distributed over Xbox Live. All they would need then is a really cool xbox portable live network.

You have to admit it would have alot of potential and a serious draw with those of us really into MSGS content and XBLA content.

it depends. the psp was almost made too good for gaming on the go because the games are so in depth and serious. when i am on a plane i want some fun puzzle game or something. The psp just makes me want to play consoles. If it was done right yeah i may pick one up.

I would need 2 joysticks and a hard drive so I could load games on it and no longer carry a big bag for all the UMD's and cartridges I have.

I'd buy it after a price drop.

A picture of it was in some electronics magazine from a couple months back. It was called the xbox 180, but I'm sure someone just made it up.

I'd rather MS devote their time and money to solidifying their home console market first...THEN, once they've truly established themselves (hopefully after this generation), it would be better to invest in R&D for a handheld...but one thing at a time, x360 is more important right now
