I think they rock. Do you self a favour and get Wipeout for it. It's pretty amazing for a hand held and as usual for wipeout games, the interface and graphic design is top of the pops.
I'm kicking myself I didn't bring a few more back from Tokyo when I was there in July. Could have picked them up second hand for A$130 with a couple of games.
Still might get my mate to send a few over.
