I am a person who likes his instant gratification, but I also like the sayings "you get what you paid for" and "good things come to those who wait".

I need some kind of portable entertainment device because my Nintendo DS just dose not do the job. The GP2X looks fun, but I heard it eats batteries fast, and has a below standard build quality. PSP is FAIL I do not like Sony products.

So here are my choices.

Keep the Nintendo DS and wait for the Craiganator. When the heck dose this even come out? I do not want to wait more then 4 months? blink.gif

Break down and buy a GP2X or GP2X F-200. (I want a silver/black one) I could have it in a month if I sell my DS lite and order it fast! Then all I need is a SD card! Already have rechargeable batteries! laugh.gif

So what is my final decision? I can NOT decide for myself, I always end up regretting everything I do anyway.

If you want to get something immediately your only choice is to get a GP2X (doesn't really matter which model)

The latest release date estimate on the Craignator is spring next year which is approximately 6-7 months away.
