Hay guys, I have a super idea. I was just thinking, I got this new fangled PlayStation 3 that everyone's been talking about, and I want to be able to play it wherever I go. It's not really very portable, and I was thinking what would really be cool is if I had a tiny little portable screen to play my HD games and movies on. Yeah? Are you with me?
Okay, so it's not as lame as the Wii Party Station, but it seems kind of ironic, doesn't it? You have Nevover to thank for this fine offering, which measures in at 234 X 480 and comes with a bottle of Excedrin. I'm lying about the Excedrin, but if the team at Nevover survives this launch without being fired, they might want to prepack it in there for future shipments. It gives me a headache just looking at this freaking thing.
Take it from me: I have a small television at the moment, and it kind of ruins the HD experience when you have to peer at your screen like an elderly man through his spectacles. I don't think the average gamer is going to find this item useful, but if I'm wrong, feel free to tell me in the comments (you will anyway).

Just to kick it up a notch... why not have a add on screen for the PSP!? Then you can claim to turn the PSP into a DS! BRILLIANT!
I'm running a PS3 and XBOX 360 through a projector. If I run Folding@Home overnight on the PS3, I have to turn the projector on just the get a status and turn off the console.
If this releases at $99 or less, I will probably pick it up. Bonus points if video-in is HDMI or Component so I would also be able to use it for quick downloads on the XBOX 360.
But for now, this works, the screen is okay to a point. LIke you brought up, "staring at a screen like an elderly man with spectacles". Not really entertaining. And might hurt your eyes after awhile.
yeah but it's bigger than your brain :)
That...is small.
Yeah, nothing like hi-def, tru-to-life graphics on a screen smaller than the average old-school laptop LCD. Hook me right up.
This is cool.
WTF were they thinking?
That's what I really think should be the big issue here. I paid 600 smackers for the thing, I'm not about to tote it around in public, significantly increasing the *oh shit I'm bring robbed* ratio I already have when I'm outside the home.
Strained eyes aside, I'm more worried about the fact that Nevover expects buyers to actually take their expensive console out on a trip or something.
Now if there was a way to use a 380W console in the car without having to fry the DC socket...
why the hell wouldn't they make it as wide as the ps3 at least?
fucking fail.
uber thats not fair at all... the 360 laptop was made by ben heck and everything hes ever graced has been awesome. the ps3 tv is made by demons.
hmm... I wonder when the ps3 gets cut down if ben will ever make a triple laptop...
