    Good Points: The fact I can tell fanboys that neither the Wii/PS3?XBOX 360/DS/PSP are bad if they've even seen this... ...THE WORST MODERN CONSOLE OF THE 7th GEN!!!


    Bad Points:
    - Short Battery life
    -Bad Game Ideas
    -Smart Ads
    -Everything else


    General comments: The Wii, PS3, XBOX 360, DS, and PSP are ALL far better than this Gizmondo. The worst selling console of the seventh generation, had no games worth the purchase, and overall was bad.

    This it a lot easier to emulate then the PSP also all the games can be found on the internet for free ,so buy the system cheap and get a ton of games for free plus emulators and homebrew ,overall a must have system , this system also has built in GPS and a camera.

    I've had my gizmondo for over a year now, and it functions just as well now as it did when i bought it.Though the games catalogue may be slighlty lacking it more than makes up for it in with it's wealth of features.
    It not only features
    Bluetooth
    GPRS
    GPS
    A VGA camera
    and a multimedia system.
    It also uses the Windows CE operating system which allows it to play any windows media player files. The os even has internet explorer which until the company went bust allowed you to surf the inte ...

    Well you get what you pay for, and I am more then happy with the Gizmondo games console. OK, the games are a bit pants, and the mono speaker is a bit basic, but - and it's a big 'BUT', put in the Sat Nav software, and off you go. Walking or driving it's top notch, or in my case, on with the stereo headphones into the pocket, and you can use it on a motorbike, and when you know where you're going, you can put a film on instead and shut the passenger up, or if you're too busy watching a film (when ...

    The Gizmondo games console is outstanding. Sorry to those slaves to fashion out there, but this whips the PSP as a multimedia device, and doesn't suffer from being tied into bespoke hardware/memory requirements (UMD-Memory Stick). Graphics, sound and sheer power is way ahead (and this company doesn't stick root-kit software on your PC).

    Hold the device after the cheap plastic experience of PSP and immediately you know that this has been designed by one of the worlds top industrial designers ...

    The Gizmondo is so bad. I got it for my birthday from my big brother and I got the PSP from my mum and I also got the Nintendo DS from my big sis. Well people I'm not sorry to tell you this because the Gizmondo is a great big rip off. I know I didn't buy it my self but still I can't help but feel like I have been cheated. I don't play my Gizmondo anymore I just use my Nintendo DS, and I use my PSP more as well. It's so crazy how they said it will be good and when I got it, it just looked cool. T ...

    I have had my Gizmondo for one month and I've had no problems at all as I look after it, also I've been disappointed with the number of games that have been released to date and that only certain types of SD cards are compatible. Why did they make it so that happened?

    But overall I've been satisfied with my purchase and I'm looking forward to more games for it coming out soon.

    Hi all, I am now on my 4th Gizmondo. As they don't seem to agree with me. I have it for about a week - then they just stopped loading up and hang on the Gizmondo logo screen.
    I would say like most people I was very keen to get a Gizmondo and was very glad to hear there Flagship store was going to open about 5mins walk away from where I work.

    To be honest - I am sadly upset with the Gizmondo as it seemed to offer the world - but has offered lots but all at poor standards. The device comes wit ...
