GBA Getting Bluetooth

Tofuhead writes "nReach recently announced their development of a Bluetooth adapter for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance. P2P wireless gaming, internet gaming (via a USB adapter to a net-connected PC), and messaging are featured, as well as service "hot spots" that will be set up in game stores and malls. Release date: Q2 2002." Countless children shall go blind soon after. I can't imagine a harder to see screen then my cursed GBA.

    Instant messaging for GBA. Now that's a dumb idea. GBA is just a whack product that makes me angry thinking about it.

    I bought my wife a GBA because she really wanted it. As soon as we brought it home we realized it was missing something! Backlighting. DUH. I'm spoiled but I guess I just thought that the people at Nintendo weren't stupid. Guess I was wrong.

    So I went back to the store and picked up a "Shark Lite". What a poor product! Whenever she tried to play with the Shark Lite, it would be in her way or it would cause a reflective glare.

    Back to the lamp behind her head while she plays. Oh the whole GBA backlight problem gives me post-purchase depression.

    What a nuisance it is to try and play a game on the GBA when you need to position yourself in a contorted manner just to get to see what you're doing in the game.

    Who knows, maybe my 1 year old daughter will find a use for it.

    Please use the following examples of then and than as a guide to understanding the difference between the two:
    1. My dog is bigger than your dog.
    2. Fine, if you want it so bad, eat it then!
    3. Hobbits are gayer than gnomes.
    4. Back then, we had to eat grubs to survive.

    Thanks.
