if you remember i started a topic about wormlights, asking how good they were, I decided to take mine back and i got a light magnifier from mad catz on the launch day of the gba. I was so excited when i got home (thinking finally i can play my gba whilst lying in my bed, and not sitting on the most uncomfortable bench in the world in my back garden which is the only place i can actually see my gba screen properly)!

wow that was a mouth full!

Anyways I got home and tryed it out. I took off the packaging and stuck it on my gba. I could not believe how far it actually stuck out, and it wayed about twice as much as my gba! it stuck out like 10cm and it looked awfulk and it didnt light up the screen or make it any easier to see. In fact it made it harder too see the screen cos i could only see a reflection of my face through the magnifier lens.
I was so dissapointed :-(

so here is a warning to all you ppl out there who are thniking of buying a light magnifier.

PLZZZZZ FOR YOUR OWN GOOD DO NOT BUY MAD CATZ ONE COZ ITZ CRAP!
I know this is a fairly large post for a fairly unimportant topic but well, it maybe useful to some :-)

Thank you . I will not be buying this monstrosity. As it happens I believe MadCatz have no clue about aesthetics, ergonomics or anything. And hey, if you think your post was long?!

Yeah, and dont buy the gamester one either. It seems as though they have just got the madcatz maginfier and just changed the name. Bloody waste of money.I cant believe they release crap like this.
