Already considered it. None of the buttons on the front are configurable. they have useful functions like zoom, portrait, left/right click etc. but you can't assign them to keyboard keys so no go. The inability for it to stand up on its own on a table without the dock also kills off the possiblity of connected a game controller to it. It's meant to be held in the hand. I have a friend who was in tokyo at the time of the launch so he got it almost half the price the import dealers are selling them. Price at www.uk.dynamism.com for u50 £1517.74, for u70 £1852.48. The other importers are the same. Unless you really want it or know someone in Japan that can get it for you it's too expensive. Great for mouse driven games though just not pratical for emulation.
