You are absolutely fucking nuts if you decide to buy this. Good christ people, you intend to crack open your Game Boy Advance and solder in an internal light all by yourself? Just for what, so you can play Advance Wars under your bedsheet?
Be honest here. Nintendo will eventually release a backlit GBA and you will just have to buy that one. Knock off your sad, lonely bullshit about stickin' it to the Nintendo man. Yes, you need a decent light source to play your GBA. IE, you can't play it in a tent in the middle of the night. You also need light to do just about everything else, including live, so why all the fuss? Where the hell are you people trying to play, during an Alaskan winter? I've played my GBA at desks, in couches, in lunch rooms, in cars, in seedy hotels. I've looked over the shoulder of someone else playing (something you could NEVER do on the previous Game Boys.) Just sit by a goddamn lamp, you morons.
But by all means, wave your freak flag high and thumb yo' nose at the Establishment. And when you snip the wrong wire, break off the wrong bit of plastic, or drip hot melted metal into your GBA's casing... sit back and think about me and the rest of Intelligent Universe patiently awaiting a Nintendo-made lighted version that works perfectly and doesn't require a vo-tech degree. Perhaps you'd like to solder a PS2 into your Xbox hull while you're at it. Jackasses. |
