    anyone who recommends a psp soley for one game oughta be shot :D

    the psp offers plenty more on top of that, so think wisely what you'd be looking for on top of the sega collection

    Argos have it:

    €30 more or less, so slight price difference between this and the PSP + Sega collection soloution...


    Official (?) site for the handheld:

    I thought you meant the Sega handled they came out with at the dawn of the 90s. That thing was truly great. Poor battery life, but a great screen that wasnt matched until the PSP.

    There were two, the Nomad and the Gamegear.

    For those who have never heard of it (as it wasnt released here), you could just plug Megadrive games straight into the Nomad. It's a thing of beauty :) (We'll ignore the horrific battery life for now)

    Ah but with today's lithium-ion technology and T-14 hyperdrive generators, it could be made great all over again.

    So true. It's a shame the Revenge of Shinobi was not included though.

    Mine died on me last night, it is one of the worst rip offs I have ever suffered, there is a better version available made by Blaze it is a black machine in a plastic box rather than the crappy Hong Kong style Argos version.
