I think that xbox should make a mini screen that plugs into one of the controller ports, and has a built in power cell, and harddrive so u can save certain levels and games onto it. Play it on the road or any where and it would come in handy for a lan party without enough tv' s. You could probably use it for a memory card lol.

In short am i crazy or does anyone else think that it would be a good idea?

Well they do have a mini screen that plugs into cotrollers, nto quite as advanced as yer idea. I pretty sure if microsoft will eventually jump into the handheld race eventually. I hope they do actually cuz their console is friggin awsome already.

They alwready make PDA' s.

zactly, so its damn near inevitable.

I wouldn' t be surprised if a detachable handheld of some sort came with the Xbox 2. Well, ok, I' d be surprised

I think this is an pretty good possiblity. One needs to look no farther than the Dreamcast' s VMU to see how cool or dissapointing this can be. The VMU was underutilized but with the right support it could have been great. Sadly, what you seem to be recommending seems almost like GBA to GC connectivity, which is overhyped by Nintendo, seems like a gimmick to sell more GCs, and is not supported by many developers. Also, no, they shouldn' t make a gameboy. Gameboy is a " registered trademark of Nintendo" . LOL.

I was thinking dreamcast just as I read that too!
