PS3 gets seven inch LCD screen

While this may seem like a nice add-on, let's take into consideration what kinds of games you'll be playing while using it. Plan on any RPGs or any game that's heavy on text? Doubt this teeny tiny screen will be able to make words readable since most PS3 games use relatively small fonts. This thing would probably be best for action-oriented games. Still, 7" isn't enough; 13"-14" sounds more like the sweet spot to us.

I pity anyone wanting to play a PS3 game on THAT. God help your eyes.

BenHeck wins for portable PS3 gaming... But then again, HD on the go is something I care not about. Keep the HD in your living room (lets settle on house

You need to learn English.

That was a masterful butchery of what I think was supposed to be the English language. May God have mercy on your soul.

This seems really pointless.

This is perfect and awesome for someone who can't afford a T.V for his own room
ChuckD @ Apr 19th 2008 7:05PM
if you can afford a ps3 for your room, then you can afford a tv for it.
theb1rdm4n @ Apr 19th 2008 11:45PM
lol yeah, i bet you could get a lot larger tv than that for the same price.
Jove @ Apr 20th 2008 1:10AM
if you cant afford a tv but can afford a ps3 then you might as well not buy the ps3...

Intec already has a 10.2" PS3 screen for a whopping CAD$280. See image at http://www.futureshop.ca/multimedia/products/large/10095636.jpg

I was just about to post pretty much the same thing, yeah it's been here for a while now in Canada, saw it a month ago on the FutreShop site and didn't think it was a big deal, or worth wasting money on.
Gamerguyx @ Apr 19th 2008 5:40PM
I have no respect for someone that would buy this.

@MGS4
If you are going to bother posting a comment, why not make sense with your words, your grammar sssooo sucks!
As for the screen, nice idea, bad size choice!13' or 14', then maybe,MAYBE, I'd buy this!
Drake @ Apr 19th 2008 5:51PM

The_Black_Circle @ Apr 19th 2008 8:40PM

russell @ Apr 19th 2008 6:08PM
this is neat, but the screen is too small...
TekTro @ Apr 19th 2008 6:09PM
stupid fanboy. get a life and go back to your hole.
there is no need for that comment go troll somewhere else!
stacy daniels @ Apr 19th 2008 6:10PM
Fuglly, pointless poo. this ha to be a third party add on. sony cant be that stupid!! gigily gigily
ChodalBerryWagon @ Apr 19th 2008 7:21PM
lol @ the first 3 words
emaxximus @ Apr 19th 2008 6:34PM
My eyes hurt just thinking about it.
RYPW @ Apr 19th 2008 7:00PM
Dumb idiot. Is the 360 and its lovely RROD better then? Fool PS3 will be around years after the Xbox 360 has died.
Watcher @ Apr 19th 2008 7:05PM
Soo if the PS3 is the dumbest console in history and it's outselling X360 worldwide what does that make X360? Think before you write. I know it's hard for you, but....try....
The Sound @ Apr 19th 2008 8:05PM
Someone ban him. Please.
The Sound @ Apr 19th 2008 8:06PM
Ewwwww
Ninjakamster @ Apr 19th 2008 8:55PM
Well, your name suits you Wretched, your a wretched excuse for a human being and a gamer. At least your intelligent enough to pick a suitable username loser. : )
Nerdkiller @ Apr 19th 2008 8:56PM
Hmmm...Have you ever looked at Windows Vista and you probably proclaim thats great? Quit kissing M$ ass and get a life you lousy nerd. We have the better console (the PS3, suprise, suprise) and yet...I don't even know where to start judging your lousy lying comments. Is it really the worst console? Have you looked a the Virtual Boy and how it can hurt your eyes, cos thats what I'm gonna do to you if I ever catch you in public. Friggen nerdy loser.
Nerdkiller @ Apr 19th 2008 9:08PM
Sooo...you crawled out from under that bridge of yours just to insult our valuable console once again? I bet your one of those losers who lives in the basement of his mom's house. I also bet that you think that Vista is great, who thinks HD DVD was great, who thinks HD downloads are great, who thinks buying overpriced addons are great, who thinks only having DD 5.1 on 360 is better than TrueHD and DTS MA on PS3, who thinks 360 is better than the whole world...because it just is. Friggen nerd.
HarryPS3 @ Apr 19th 2008 9:19PM
This little screen could be useful for information like, time, weather incoming messages etc while your gaming on your HDtv. The PS3 looks better without it tho!
Kspraydad @ Apr 19th 2008 11:14PM
... oh forget it.
To fracking easy.
Doomstryker @ Apr 19th 2008 11:35PM
Well it's nice to have this as a consumer option however I don't see the market for this. People who wants a portable gaming option would go PSP or DS. The PS3 is too heavy to port around and what about power? Somehow a battery option?
Jove @ Apr 20th 2008 1:18AM
goddamn it your a fuck face... you probably writte for xbox 360 fanboy and their stupid little posts which are all about halo 3 and gears of war.
Ishimaru @ Apr 20th 2008 2:06AM
Wasn't this on Kotaku, like on Wednesday? :\
Flicky @ Apr 20th 2008 1:34PM
This would be perfect for those times you didn't want to turn on your big screen TV to listen to some music on your PS3. Just use the mini screen to select what you want to listen to. Not sure how to do the video out switching thing easily though............
xGOLDEN_ONEx @ Apr 20th 2008 3:19PM
MGS4, needs to go to school. lol and yes i i think its way to small, i like the idea of the 13-14 inch tho. but i dont really think i would use it, being i have an hdtv thats way better. Maybe if i was on a road trip and even then i have my psp thats probley better than that sceen....
