I played one at GameStop near me and it is definitely a good looking system. The screen is sharp & bright and the touchscreen seemed responsive, though there wasn't much of a demo to really give it a good go. If there were more release titles and I didn't have to pay $100 for extra memory at the level I would want, I'd probably reconsider getting one.
Also, I have to stay the face buttons are SHOCKING SMALL (like meant for a tiny Japanese girl small) and too boot, the right thumb stick feels in the way of the X button for how I want to hold the device. I'm sure it's one of those things that I'd adjust to in a short time, but on an initial impression, it was kind of offputting.
