Anybody Buying Gizmondo?

[The Mole]

Its out in 3 weeks and no shops have heard of it.

Talking to somebody in game brought up this.

Me) I would like to pre order a Gizmondo please

Game) What!

Me) Gizmondo its a handheld doodlie

Game) MMM i will ask the manager

Manager) I have never heard of it its not down for a release in the next few months

Me) its out in 3 weeks!!!

Manager) Oh well we are not stocking it then.

Anybody had any luck getting one on order?

Im buying one when price goes down, and when someones selling it on ebay.

 

[Bingo Jesus]

I'd buy one, except i can't stand the styling of it. the System sounds good, but the case is just too much. Maybe I've just not seen any good shots of it, but has anybody else Experienced this?

I'm not surprised they havent heard of it because their right GAME won't be selling it, Toys R Us have the main distribution rights for the launch, other independant retailers will be selling it, don't forget its not a 'mainstream' games console so don't expect to find it in your local Virgin Megastore or Dixons!

 

[Jr2swiss]

Well toys r us should be able to get it known.

 

[davey g]

I need to hear more about it.

 

[DaveC]

I will have to see. I doubt I will get it right away. I will wait and see if alot of emus come out for it. Also the screen is too small for me to get excited about it (2.8").

GAME are utterly useless when it comes to knowledge. I went in and asked if the had any original GBA units, the sales girl had no idea what I was talking about, she said I was talking in some kind of code! I had to spell it out for her, "a Nintendo Gameboy Advance???" "... oh!!"

 

[Jr2swiss]

She probably was sleeping with someoen to get the job <_<

lol everyones not a tech nerd. Man when I go into the store I don't even ask wheres your GC games or your PS2 cause they don't know.

 

[Wolfsclaw]

what was the prize of gizmondo? if its over 200 i'll definitely not buy it, i have fun enough with my gp32 then i think.... and the screen is much smaller, argh

If Toys R Us in the UK do what they did with the Dreamcast then it'll start off pricey and then end up going for £50. That is assuming that it doesn't take off and completely outsell the DS and PSP...

Not GC, but PS2 and GBA are basically the names of the things, like you wouldn't ask for a Dual Screen, you'd ask for a DS, as with PS2 and GBA.

When game had that "take any four games and 99p for a brand new game" deal on I went in a few times, even though it was only one per customer.

I played dumb so they didn't realise what I was doing.

*Picks up copy of Ninja Gaiden*

Mark: "Is this game good?"
Manager: "It's graphically pretty, but its hard"
Mark: "Harder than Tomb Raider?"
Manager: "Yeah."
Mark: "I love Tomb Raider"

etc.
