"Nintendo sells 500,000 GBAs
The Game Boy Advance becomes the fastest-selling game system ever at launch."

When is PS3 coming out?  Sony has to wait 4+ years to top Game Boy?

I expected that to happen with their being no competition.  Unfortunately, I can\'t afford one right now :(.  Anyone want to donate to the needy :D?

I don\'t know why anyone would want to play something on such a tiny screen.  I can\'t see anything good on it besides tetris.

Am I right in saying that when you insert a gameboy colour game, you get the choice of normal or \'widescreen\'?

And it is very mouthwatering to imagine a new Zelda for the GBA....mmmmm.....:D
