Shameful how so many people grab up anything that is hyped and act like they did something heroic.

15 min of fame by buying something? Pathetic and sad.

Really?

For those gamers, maybe they think YOU ARE PATHETIC because you can't even get one :)

what's so popular about a portable?

So what. Second, why the big deal about being able to carry around a game console?

Either these people waiting to buy it are morons, or CNET is confused.

You're half right

Yes, waiting in line to buy a game console is pretty idiotic. Especially with preorders available to everyone and anyone these days. But to each his own, right?

I'm afraid I don't understand your "why would you want to carry around a game system" point. Handheld gaming is a wonderful technology, and more than 120 million GameBoy sales over the past decade and a half bolster that point. The PSP is just another way to game on the go. When I'm out on business trips, I make sure I've always got at least one handheld system, especially if a protracted hotel stay is in order.

I see

So SI is "confused" because there are people who always want to grab the Swim Suit Edition. and those Auto Magazines are "confused" too because you don't understand why there are people spending big $$ for luxury cars......

And speaking of morons, I believe lots of people around the world are morons in your opinion, because they all carry some sort of handheld games (Nintendo Gameboy, GB Advance, GameBoy SP, DS, SONY PSP, and so on :))

Leave the Gamers alone....

They are lost in their own little worlds. The rest of us have to
make reality work.
