Neat little unit, not a bad piece of work. My review is here:

There was a thread about this product a few weeks ago; and those are Game Gear games, not Genesis.

Engadget had a picture of a device from BenQ with a gig of space for MP3s and a cost of $150 -- this isn't it. And that's right, they are 8-bit Game Gear and Sega Master System games, not Genesis games ... but who said anything about Genesis games?

how much? I cant remember the name of them, they were like $60 on ebay though.

$50 for this one.

Just found the Ebay version -- "PlayPal Portable." Looks like the same thing.

Sorry, thought you mentioned Genesis in the thread title. Do you know if this is listed on Target's website?

No worries, my urge to kill is falling.

It's not on Target's website yet, and I haven't seen any reviews of it anywhere else. Coleco's site is just a "coming soon" logo page.

It looks JUST like the "PlayPal Portable" now on Ebay... I'm looking for a review of that thing just out of curiosity. My .02: it's a nice little toy, perhaps a little pricey though.

Here's the thread I was looking for!!! Looks like it's the same product you're talking about.

Yup, that's the same thing with a different package.

the BenQ Joybee EG10 looks like the alpha plus pocket pad - google them and see...

the benq one was announced april 2006 and alpha plus in october 2006, have either of these surfaced yet?

even a search on ebay didnt come up with anything - although a single UK seller has the latter alpha plus model apparently. But due to the limited info on this and his picture not being of the actual product i dont wish to purchase it...

anyone have any more info on either of these?!?

I saw that at Slackers the other day. It looks like a neat product. It has a lot of the Game Gear Sonics in it and other games.

They have those at my target in the plug and play section for 50 bucks.

Do either of you mean either of those? or the coleco/playpal one?

Also im over in the Uk.... it takes longer for us to get most things - still not got the PS3 yet (7-8 weeks time!) and by the time we do the price is close to what you pay in dollars in GBP sterling so almost twice as much as you! If it is the benq/alpha plus pocket pad/joybee one how much is it?

My girlfriend is after a new mp3 player for jogging and if its cheaper than an iPod but more importantly it has old GG/SMS games on it!!!
