Student Driver Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 These are the Capsule/Tablet VG Pocket systems (by Pelican?) mentioned in a couple of other threads. My Wal-Mart stocks these in electronics, not toys, which is odd for plug-and-plays. I'd been looking in toys to see if we were going to carry them for a while, and didn't realize they'd been around for the last month. Alongside them is a Disney Princesses plug-and-play in the same form factor and same price, but with fewer included games. (Makes sense, though, as *all* of the games on the Disney one are Disney-specific, so no slapping in a dozen generics). The only other plug-and-play I've seen Wal-Mart stock in electronics has been the Polaroid unit; everything else is in toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt Vendel Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I have a very early VG Pocket from last year, the screen is Passive LCD, are these newer VG pockets still Passive or are they TFT ? I just hate the ghosting and trailing of graphics with passive LCD's and that is my only beef with these handhelds. Curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+pboland Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Has anyone seen one of these yet? Doesn't Coleco sell a portable sega system too? Sega must really be pushing licensing to a lot of different companies. Coby Portable Sega Video Game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
