i have an original gba, and if i would have the option i would get an afterburner, since i think the sp is a bit costly

but before the sp launch i wasnt so mod-minded and wouldnt risk it, and by now AB's are impossible to find

The PStwo over heating is BS. It's not an issue.

My GBA has the AB mod. I almost did it perfectly except that I let dust get inside. That was a huge factor for me buying the SP.

Is true, mine gets hot, but it doesnt stop its ability to read discs or cause random crashes.

I've never owned a GameBoy of any type, but the smallness of this one would give me a reason to finally buy one (I've always wanted a GBA since the homebrew games started popping up).

This would be the perfect excuse to buy one. I'm sure that would fall in the same reason for a lot of people too.

For me it will be the smallest NES ever.

Unless we burned NDC SE to a minidisk when you finish it. Now get back to work, toby!

Umm, I would buy one if it came with a flash cart. I am in the market for one right now.

Ya know, after I thought about it, I find it quite amusing how Nintendo is always bunking the trend. I mean, look at the PSP. It has the largest screen on a portable ever, almost twice the size of the DS's screen. So how does Nintendo combat it? It releases the smallest freaking portable ever. Nintendo isn't following the crowd, it's full-on battling it. Can any other game company say that?

I don't know, I have a friend with a PSTwo that I was playing somewhat extensively (maybe 4 hours straight) and it was having a lot of problems loading discs on NBA Street Vol. 3. Even just searching through players had quite a delay. It was standing on its side if that makes any difference. I don't know if it was a heat issue or just a bad PSTwo, but I've never had problems with my V4 (old style) like that.

I'm sure not all of them have problems, and again it could just be a faulty system, but it was definitely having problems that weren't part of normal gameplay.

Can we have one week where this arguement doesn't appear in any topic? Some overheat and some don't. End of story.

I played FFX last night for 4 hours straight, and I've had no problems whatsoever with my small PS2. Mine must be magical

The GBA micro has nothing to do with the PSP, it's to keep people interested in GBA games.

Sure, sure, it was made to keep interest in GBA, but I'll bet it's fall release is not a coincidence. This will be Nintendo's first year having a rival portable fighting for Chirstmas dollars. So if Nintendo releases another handheld that's atractive to kids and probably cost efficient, it will definately steal a chunk of PSP's gift appeal.

Oh, no kidding. A cheap, cute GBA? Stocking stuffer for every affluent caucasian youth from Boston to San Dimas.

I guess my PS2 is magical as well, having left it on 5 days straight playing a DVD and 1 day straight playing God of War (in game, progressive scan), with it barely being warm.

Just bumped to say that Ninty says:

Adjustable Brightness

Out this fall
