MetalHead · Apr 21, 2008 3:17 AM

I heard that they're coming up with a new portable gaming system called the Pandora. Anyone else heard about this? Here's a pic:

If this concept was made by officials, not by some random person, then It would be from microsoft. You can tell it was based off the controller by the A, Y, X, & B buttons on the right.

There are several pictures of handhelds that were fake, such as the portable gamecube, the xbox mobile, and the ps2p. This most likely is a fake, but if it isn't I expect it not to be be able to compete with Nintendo.

You guys don't read Engadget, don't you? big_smile

Anyway, it's called Pandora. It will NOT have any commercial games on it, but it is dedicated to running emulators and homebrew games.

There is a variant called GP2X F-200 and it has a touch screen too.

As I said, it's not going to have commercial games. It's only for Emulators and homebrew. And since it is more biased to emulation, we can see these ones playing the insomniac Spyros and the GBA Spyros as well.

And no, the PS2P is real.

PS2p hasn't even been made by SONY!!!!!!!!! PS2p will eventually be released (2009-2010) There isn't even a prototype!!!! Find that drawing on an OFFICIAL website such as SONY.COM!!! Why would sony release PS2p when a new PSP was released last year!! Game consoles last 5 or more years on the market!! PSP is expected to last until 2010!!!

Calm down! PSP2 and PS2p are two different things. big_smile

PSP2 - What you are saying

PS2p - A hacked game console

I think it is real, because there is a wikipedia page on it.

EDIT: There seems to be something wrong with the URL. Copy and paste it for it to work right

You do know that anyone can put things on wikipedia, right? I could say Spyrorocks was the Prime Minister of Canada if I wanted to.

Doppelgangergang · Apr 22, 2008 1:18 AM

I'm reading Engadget (where I first heard of it) and it was just a 3D mockup. Relax LOL.

Well, a mobile phone is technically a handheld.

To further support its existence, these sites mention the Pandora.
