I thought this was going to be huge because it was portable. It ended up being the worst console I ever owned. There were decent games but very few and I felt like my eyes were burning after I played. Not to mention I had to either prop it up on something or hunch over just to play.

I swear that's the game console that fukked my vision up.

I remember readin' how bad it was when I younger. Went to one of my cousin's house and saw she had one. She said I could play with it, but I hit her with a :heh: and kept it movin'.



Had to finally lay mines to rest last year. It was a tough mp3 player, but it felt like I was carryin' a bar of soap in my pocket. At least I can use it with the 360 still :leon:

Edit: Always thought Zune's software was trash too after they started doin' updates. Couldn't even upgrade the Zune itself just so I could do the music sync workaround with MediaMonkey :damn:


:childplease: word.. i had to downgrade numerous times. gonna end up leaving them in the car.
