    It's available in France as well. Does not seem too bad for somebody who just wants to play them, but personally I still prefer playing my games emulated on the PSP if I'm on the train or something. It's just the best thing to have for me... I got my favourite games from all parts of my collection (famicom, mega drive, arcade games ported on saturn) loaded onto my PSP and can play them all with one machine. Nothing compared to sitting in front of the TV, but for riding the train it's pretty decent.

    Nice, if I hadn't bought a Gameboy for my nephew I might have been looking into this.

    I still go love fo rmy Nomad, but a little off topic there is a Saturn EU for the PSP? When did that happen? Last I knew emulation for the Saturn on the PC was only so so. I can't imagine how well it works on the PSP. Heck the Wii Saturn emulator was horrible to say the least.

    Ah, I see. That was also on the PC right? Just as well I have the real hardware then. However a full speed and acurate Saturn emulator would be cool since lower resolution Saturn games look turd on HD TVs direct from the real Saturn hardware.

    I got one of there from Argos a while back. Its not bad, and The TV output is quite solid. The only problem is that when the battery starts getting low the controles go mad.

    Looks like a nice little gaming system, hope it crosses the German border to Belgium :icon_bigg I'd pick up a few for myself and other collectors.

    It's a nice little device to add to your collection, i prefer the ones that look like mini genesis 2's and only plug into the tv. I really can't see it being practical playing sonic on such a small screen.

    Bought one a while ago. It's okay but some games have glitched graphics and the buttons aren't that great.

    I got a deal on it, so i bought one now too.

    I'm actually surprised by the build quality, expected something cheaper.

    As there are now tons of reviews of this on Youtube, i don't think it needs yet another, but tell me if you think differently.
