It's not the first time on Gameboy, either. There's been an mp3 player available for the gameboy for about THREE YEARS now. =) The first thing I found on Google about it was an news article from PR Web about how Nintendo and the company that made it settled some lawsuit 2 years ago:
SongBoy Lawsuit
Sure, it's an idea that makes a lot of sense, and sure, it seems fair and just and all that, too, but didn't I sign up for a certain bandwidth when I just ordered cable internet service about a month ago? Shouldn't I get grandfathered out of this because they mentioned NOTHING about this when I signed up? I mean, if they want to change the rules, fine, but if so I don't think I should be held to my year-long contract when they're no longer providing me with the service I signed up for. If they reduce speeds to less than what I'd get with some other service, either broadband or otherwise (didn't some other slashdot article mention something about speeds paralleling a 28.8?), then I want to drop them and get that other service and not have to deal with them harassing me and continuing to charge me like Earthlink did (I HATE those guys!!).
