The X-boy
 

ok ive heard that xbox are realeseing a condender to the game boy, sometime in the near future all i have heard is that it will actually contain a hardrive,

i would like to know whether this is just a rumor or weather it really is official,

i would also like to know more about it,
has anyone heard anything?

I really doubt this
 

A hand held system with a hard drive wouldn't be so ...well "hand held" :laugh:
But this could be a possibility imo after the nokia n-cage is released so M$ can see how effortless the GBA or soon to be GBAsp (this is what it is called right?) crushes the nokia branded hand held :laugh:

I read this article in January and you can find it here.That's the only info I have seen about a hand-held XBox.

As for the Nokia Ngage, I don't think it's going to be a handheld console in the traditional sense (i.e. GameBoy), but is being aimed as a communication device that can also play games. The very fact that it is a phone will mean that it will be many times more expensive than GameBoy and hence will not be a competitor. I simply believe Nokia are trying to set a standard for mobile communication & gaming devices.

You proved a very good idea that i overlooked Spank about the n-cage :right:, still i rather doubt the release of the "xboy" :blink:

The x-boy would be a great idea, imagine a portable x-box?

At some ways it would be as playing something anywhere with Syphon Filter graphics, but the majority of games on Xbox is multi-player (the really good ones atleast). If Xboy could have online technology into it as well, Microsoft would create history record or something. Imagine playing Halo 2 online on train, that would be just plain SICK! :D

Ive seen this in plenty of mags, microsoft said it was a romour "x-boy" although I think in small xbox would be okay.

There saying the N Guage is going to be VEERY expensive. The company themselves released in a press conference that it would be under 540 US dollars !. Usually when they say under they mean just a little under. I mean come on,... I wouldnt pay more than 100 dollars for any hand held system. thats crazy....and the Phantom is supposed to be around 600 US dollars on its release..I hope this isnt becoming a trend . (not that I would EVER concider buying a console that played computer games at any price)
