Aww, poo. Well... they are selling for about a $10 average (including S&H) on eBay. Maybe you could use two for making your own portable , sell some on Ebay, and then send me a couple of them. Heh heh.

Yeah, this will
1) be more comfortable to hold
2) have a 5" LCD
3) be less expensive to get those great classic games
4) just be more awesome overall

but if you want 3d like the DS make a portable N64, PS1, PS2, or Game Cube. For more portablizing information be sure to check out benheck.com.

Yeah, lamo. Nintendo needs to stop making them smaller like that. Just make them better, improve the battery life, make then more affordable, and make a bigger screen! All they are doing is trying to hard to keep hold of their portable market because that's all that's keeping them alive. In holding on too hard they are making dumb mistakes.

I have Fireman Fireman, and Juggler. Those are OOOOOOLD Nintendo games! Black & white, the sound is a bunch of chirps, and they only play the game they came with. But they tell the time when you're not playing!

Also they run for a year or more on a couple of button batteries.

Yeah, I know it's been done. You can see quite a few different home-made portables here. But I am an avid SNES fan. My original Game Boy died, and I decided to built this instead of getting a new one. You SNES fans (I'm sure there are some here) have to admit a portable SNES with a 5" LCD is cool.

Oh, and speaking of Gambeoy Advance... Nintendo made it even smaller, 3" screen, dimensions are something like 4"x7".

But who needs portables, Zelda: Twilight Princess is gonna come out and be THE best game ever.
