    If CmdrTaco hates his GBA so much, why doesn't he autograph it and sell it on eBay? That should net VA Software some revenues at least...

    Imagine the kind of latchkey kids this will raise...

    "Honey, the movie starts at 7 and the babysitter isn't here yet!"
    "Let's just drop the kids off at Wal-Mart. It's open 24 hours right? And they have one of those Game Boy Blue Advanced Teeth things to keep the kids connected to their peers!"
    "Good idea! Those Game Boys were such a smart investment!"

    bleah on that!

    "Now what would be amazing would be if I could be driving in my car and playing against a kid in his car in California, with absolutely no wires attatched to my GBA."
