Anyway. I've got nothing better to say and didn't want to start a topic about the new Gameboy SP or why hardly anything seems to support MP3 Pro at the moment, so I thought I'd put it all here.
I love the look of the Gameboy SP, but why release the same handheld in a different case just because it now has a backlight? They could have introduced something a bit more radical, hiked up the price a tiny bit and include a TV tuner or FM radio, even an organiser style slide out keyboard. hm.
And as for MP3 Pro, well, I've bought my 256mb Compact Flash (for £60 in a sale!) and I'd have loved my MP3 player to play songs from MP3 Pro, but it doesn't, so I either go for high quality and less songs or lower quality and more songs (natch). Oh well.

No, it's when you use the original (mis)spelling while quoting something as it appears in context with the original.

typo?
Anyone with an accurate description will bemoan mine, but I think thats a loose definition. Or something. Yup.
"What does 'natch' actually mean?"
Naturally?

Short for Naturally.
But they've also syncronized hand-held gaming with the mobile phone age, by making it smaller, compact and giving it an LCD screen, just like the latest mobiles.
It would have been cool if they had included a feature like an FM radio, but this is just a revamped version.

They could have added an extra slot and graphics chip on the back to enable owners to slot in a MegaDrive cartridge and play all those great Sega games on their GBA SP.
I expect either that or the TV Tuner/FM radio version will get released 3 months after the SP version, just to keep customers REALLY happy.
I used to see it written everywhere.
Sic's another. I'm sure it stands for something like "Spelling Isn't Corrected", but I've never really found out the truth.
good onyou :0)
