XBand X-Pad

The XBand X-Pad (stylized as XB∀ND X-P∀D) is a handheld portable gaming system by Catapult Entertainment.

Details
Developed especially for online play, the X-Pad is a high performance handheld able to connect to a special version of the XBand video game network. It also features a touchscreen with an accompanying stylus, along with a volume control column, a rather small circular D-pad, two buttons for confirming or canceling selections, and three face buttons labeled I, II, and III. It also has a circular indicator that displays the owner's win-loss stats in games that they play against their opponents on the network.

Criticism
The X-Pad is often criticized for its D-Pad being too small for most people's tastes, along with the awkward placements of that and the volume control column, as people would unintentionally adjust the volume during gameplay because of it.

Media Format: XP45 Disc
All titles released on the X-Pad are on a proprietary removable media format, the XP45 Disc. It is a miniature optical disc (45mm in diameter) encased in a protective plastic cartridge with a metal shutter, similar to a floppy disk.
