When I was running my bath I though to my self, I really should stop the taps as the bath is starting to over-flow, after that I had a thought. What can the GBA do to impress people? Make them want to get it more, to do something brand new, that has never been done before. And I have come up with the perfect idea.

Television, but not ordinary T.V, Sky Digital!

Think about it, sky join up with Datle and make a mini sky receiver, this will cost (give or take) £70. This will cover the price of datle making it, and sky pocketing some. Then to make sure sky get some extra out of it, if you live in a sky digital home, you get ALL the channels on our TV, onto the Gameboy Advance, so premier widescreen would work quite well.

If Sky do this just imagen it, the ultimate portable TV! Flat-Wide screen set, with quite a high volume level. If the GBA has this (as well as its internet and Gamecube link ups) it will be the best console on the market.

HA! got you! The idea behind that is so you can see the GBA on the screen (so you can play it in doors on a bigger screen with out refeltion, man i'm good). Also so you can do a Mario tennis (change scores, get charaiters etc.)

Brillient, sorted out the prombles of the GBA, marveliovs! :) (Mr. Freak is once again happy with him self)

i know the GBA is cool en all, but it does have its flaws. intresting the thing wiht you saying GBA outdors and GC indoors. so what happens when we want to connect our GBA to our GC, the link-up between the tow consoles is supposed to be somthin specail. but if we cant see the bloody screen..

I think thats the idea, i think Nintendo wants us to play it outside, and the gamecube inside. But a backlight would eat batteries up! (come on, give them credit, they have done well)

i really think we should have got a decent screen, what with us paying 80-90 pounds for one of these things. Nintendo have made loads of profit form this console, i just wish i could see my games more often. its hard playing with light even from a lightbulb, the only time i can see the screen properly is when i am outside during the day.

Veron, i know the wormlights can get irriating, but i set one up so it had the full effect with no reflection! Takes about 5 mins to set it up, then its fine. Also i hate maginfiers as they make the games looks silly... some times

this would be pointless becasue the GBA dont have a back light and i aint found a light magnifier or decent wormlight that does the job properly without causing too much of a reflection. the GBA screen is more of a flippin mirror.
