eu coverage tom tom for £30 more?

i know what i would have

Nismo · 25 Jun 2008 at 11:31

Just buy a standalone GPS? Seems like a complete waste of money / gimmick to me, unless it's vastly superior to anything else out there.

Very expensive. No touch screen. Not brilliant IMO

Wyrdo · 25 Jun 2008 at 11:36

Pointless, just get a Tom Tom or any other sat nav

Inoshishi · 25 Jun 2008 at 11:39

I think it's plus points for me would be I'd only have to carry one unit around with me when I go away rather than both the PSP and the Tom Tom.

However at £99.99 it's too expensive, if it was half that I'd probably pick one up.

Deanje · 25 Jun 2008 at 11:42

I agree, it's very niche and pricey, but at least new things are being tried.

Kyle009 · 25 Jun 2008 at 11:45

Too pricey unfortunately otherwise it would have been a good addition

NokkonWud · 25 Jun 2008 at 12:51

Sony's pricing department not living in the real world.

Neoni · 25 Jun 2008 at 12:54

What a stupid idea, and its pricey for what it is.

SiD the Turtle · 25 Jun 2008 at 13:32

That pricing simply doesn't make any sense.

wannabedamned · 25 Jun 2008 at 14:08

Excellent Idea, But a little pricey as said

FTM · 25 Jun 2008 at 15:01

and your battery would run out before you got anywhere!

JUMPURS · 25 Jun 2008 at 15:59

£50 and it would have sold by the bucketload. you can get a tom tom for that price in sales that pop up all the time.

orderoftheflame · 25 Jun 2008 at 18:42

I got mine hugely cheaper than that by having on pre-order. :eek:

Sinny · 25 Jun 2008 at 18:49

Their was a third party version a while ago with the software as homebrew for £65 i think. Was a jap import.

this is just blatant ripoff though.

pumaz · 25 Jun 2008 at 21:10

Get a Navigo for £50 and put your own TT, Igo, Games, Apps, Music and Movies etc. Thats what i did

But if you went with this, surely you'll also be carrying round the GPS unit?

Get a TomTom/Navigo

Its an attackment to the top of the psp so its essentially always attatched to the ps3 and screwed in i think.

Wait a while till it drops in price or import it.

If it was a lower price I think it would be a worthy purchase, PSP is a lot more powerful than a standalone sat nav + SNES & PS1 games in the car!
