Game boy is a piece of trash. They sell that garbage for like 100 bucks (new ones) and inside you get technology from the 80's!
Freaking PDAs for like 140 bucks have like minnimum 200 MHZ processor. And what processor is in gameboy? Or I guess 32Kbs of memory make it cost so much. Nnintendo sells overpriced junk knowing it's currently a monopolist in that business of handheld gaming systems.
And 4 buttons? I mean cmon any games that I'd want to play on it like Mortal Kombat, need atleast 6 buttons.
Why couldn't they make ABCD buttons and 2 shoulder ones?
Gameboy is dead once PSP or even NGage comes out. Unless Nintendo stops being retarded and comes out with something good.
