Now that's cool, they're releasing movies for Gameboy now, obviously because of the PSP, but it's still pretty cool, and I may even get Shrek and Shrek 2!

They have to dumb all the movies down to about 256 colors before it'll work. And don't get me started on how much load times will slow you down. Correct me if I'm wrong anybody.

No, not really. The Play-yan (http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/589/589659p1.html) and GBA TV tuner (http://www.gameboy-advance.net/accessories/gba_tv_tuner.htm) seem to do just fine in spite of the GBA's hardware limitations.

Edit: ah, I see, it's one of those GBA video carts. In that case, you may have a point. (http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/launchreview.asp?reviewid=458159)

Touche.

Yes, the GBA only has 256 colours and not at all 32,000.

And why would there be load times on a cartridge? You don't get that, load times come from CD and DVDs, where the laser has to move to a different area of the disc in order to access data, how would that happen in a cartridge?
