I just won a Gizmondo on ebay for 226 dollars USD. I have always want this piece of history and am happy to have it, but did I spent to much.
Gizmondo
Platform »
The Gizmondo is a failed handheld console, which launched in 2005. It was potentially revolutionary for having functionality such as GPRS mobile data connection, a camera, GPS, a multimedia player and of course game playing all in one unit.
I just spent $226 on this, was that stupid.

money is fleeting my friend, but the Gizmondo will live on forever....................
Wow. Yep. That was stupid. If you are going to get a shitty failed console off E-Bay, why not get one that is an actual console and not some sort of scheme by the sweedish mob? Seriously. You can find a virtual boy and a decent amount of games for that price, not to mention the Jaguar, 3DO and N-Gage, which all have more merit than the Gizmondo.

Well speaking there are like only 2 games for that system I don't see any reason to own it other than to say you own it. If you have that much money to blow there are charities that need help and people starving in the streets. If you are a collector then I guess that is fine, but that would be at the bottom of my list of systems to collect, right up there with the Zodiac.

Was there a Rayman game for the Gizmondo? I see a screenshot of Rayman on the Gizmondo screen but I don't see it listed on the Giant Bomb page. As to the OP, maybe you should buy an N-gage next if you have so much spare money.
Stefan Eriksson is currently laughing maniacally as he escapes from Sweden on a gold blimp that you helped fund. I hope you're satisfied!
