would you buy a microsoft handheld?

i say No. I don't want my hands to catch on fire.

but it would be good to have a Microsoft handheld since Sony is doing it .. it will fill the handheld wars,

EW NO! It might end up as the 360 of handhelds. Unreliable.
But maybe. I would wait a year or so before buying it.

They already confirmed it, the Zune 360. There will be NO games developed for it, everyone is already developing for the DS (poor PSP, barely anything )

i will never buy a handheld that doesn't say Nintendo on it... i do have a ps3, but i mainly use it for a media centre more then games... i am buying games for it but i mainly use it for media

i will NEVER touch a handheld that isn't made by ninte. i do own just about ever console thats been out since the nes(except the ps1 and 3), but i draw the line at handhelds. i trust NO other company with handhelds other than ninte, and i've yet to be shown why thats a bad decision...especially when you've watched them all fall at the feet of ninte one by one as they try to take thier throne CONSTANTLY.

Yeah the PSPGo is eww looking. It was a very stupid thing to do (to me). I've been doing handhelds with Ninty since the Gameboy. 85% of the people I know with a PSP just uses it as a music player and they have like 2-3 games. One being Madden.

i won my gameboy threw a contest that was going at the time.. i couldn't believe it when i won, i never win anything lol.. im talking about the original gameboy of cause.. i used to be more of a handheld person more then consoles because thats all i wanted... then when i got my own money i brought my first console and that is the wii, the previous gen consoles i had is i had to share it with my brothers lol..

No. Microsoft will probably name it the "Microsoft X", lol. Like Xbox, Xbox 360, lol.

I'm sticking with Gameboy. Why didn't they name the Ninty DS with Gameboy DS?

NO WAY IN HIGH HOLY HELL!!!!! the 360 has enough problems as it is, i dont want the thing to short circuit or catch fire in my hands!!!

*out there somebody completely ignores this comment and has to figure it out the hard way, at their hand's expense...... tis a shame*

Funny a few days ago I dropped my PSP down the stairs and it didn't even get a scratch on it. I made a joke with my friends about if it was made by Microsoft it'll probably have shattered and my friend said it would have been like a glass sandwich.

Never in my life would i buy a microsoft handheld.

I'll also stay with Nintendo handheld. I've spend so many hours playing Super Mario land (1,2 and my favorite 3 called Wario land) on my Gameboy. I also prefer the DS over the PSP.

I prefer all handhelds but the question is not would we buy a Microsoft handheld, it's do we really want a handheld version of Halo. Think about that.

No

Would you have sex with a dog? If you said no, we have the same answer.

No

Hmm.

If there was a handheld Halo, and it had the same community as Halo 3, then no. All they do is make new accounts to rank up because they can't rank up anymore, or sell accounts to somebody who wants a boosted account, and if your losing by 2 kills, your teammates go berserk, like Ike's and Link's Final Smash berserk.

I'd buy it if the hardware and design weren't crap, and if I could integrate my Gamertag into the handheld. I think for now, Microsoft could do something like that with their Zune HDs. The iPhone has a fairly good game selection, why can't the Zune HD?

I would. I already own a PSPgo and DS... I think the iPhone is pretty cool. Oh and to all the people saying its gonna be unreliable, I highly doubt it. Since the 360 is the only console from Microsoft to be unreliable (somewhat, but does not matter, all I care about it games)... at all. So a Microsoft handheld would be quite good. I hope they make the Zune HD a handheld.

It's true that Microsoft might figure out how to make a reliable handheld if they really spend time working on it, but if they continue their ways it might end up just as bad as the 360's failure rate. I mean, Microsoft invested billions of dollars in trying to fix the 360's red ring of death, but they didn't. So, knowing microsoft, it would most likely be at least a little more failing than the other handhelds. But who knows, maybe microsoft will rise and make the least failing handheld. It's unpredictable.

This happened only with the 360, it did not happen with the original Xbox. So the Zune HD is basically a good example of good hardware.

The original Xbox can get RROD

The original problems as well, but the 360 overshadows it so no one remembers.

But we have YGT to thank for that

YES I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD

No it wouldn't be good.
