Head over to the nintendo site and fill in a survey on the game boy player. The survey hints at a possible £35-£40 price tag.

I'd get one purely to play GBA games seeing as I have no normal GBA. I'd prefer to get an SP over a GBA player, but that will likely be more expensive, and I'm a cheapskate...

They were made as portable games, who would want to play it on their TV? Stupid.

If I want it on a large screen I'll get an Emulator and some Roms. Seeing as I already own the game and stuff.

All this crap they're trying to do to link the GBA up with the GC is stupid in my opinion.

i would prob get one if it was £20, or came with a GC game (for some reason) for £50-£60 but, i can't really see the point, with a lit screen and all on the SP, i'd rarther go portable.

I done it earlier this morning. I find doing surveys fun for some strange reason.

Anyway, I said I wasn't interested in the GB Player because it's a pointless bit of hardware. Basically.

On the part where they asked what games you may be interested in for playing on the GB Player Donkey Kong and Mario Advance 4 came up. Not that I care, but some of you may like this.

As did I - if they know we are desperate they will shoot the price up... mwahahah.

I completed the survey yesterday, then they sent me an E-mail this morning about it, but the E-mail doesn't work (just comes up with a yellow screen, then doesn't load any graphics like most Nintendo mails do...)

But anyway. I said I might buy one and that the £35-40 price would not be good value for money. Because I want it cheaper... :D

Anyhoo. I reckon that a GBA player could be that final stars gift thingy. Last time I looked most of the GBA Platinums had gone, and if the GBA player is going to be about £40 then it could well be the stars gift... anyhoo, I do quite want one as I don't really play games on the move anymore and the GBA player seems cheaper than a GBA. And the GBA has some games I really want to play.

That's a weird survey... I followed the link in the mail, logged in etc... and it told me "You've already completed this survey!"

Rollocks have I!

Stoopid Nintendo!
