[edit] wha ha!?

what is it with copyright reasons? that seams dumb! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by PopiethePopester (talk • contribs) .

Are you talking about the GBA Video compatibility thing? --Thaddius 18:03, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

I added a reason just for you that SEEMS plausable. It would have been possible to tape the shows using a VCR, PVR, etc. if they could be played on the GBA Player. Check the GBA Video article for more info. --Thaddius 17:26, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Video on the GameBoy Player

Using a GameBoy flash cartridge developer kit, it's possible to output GameBoy video to the TV. I had no problem watching videos I downloaded from alt.binaries.emulators.gameboy.advance. Pixelated and not really worth doing, but possible. Cop.rock 04:27, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I am already aware of that ability, whcih is why I said the images are pixelated and such. When I added the GBA Video bit I was talking about the GBA Video carts which I linked it to. You can (and probably did) add that bit to the article, but it doesn't matter. --Thaddius 15:06, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

I added a bit for you. --Thaddius 15:08, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New link

Nauto was kind enough to add the following link, [1], where someone from IGN claims to say that numerous colours of Game Boy Players would confuse retailers. Nice link, but I added a ^{[verification needed]} tag that we can reserve for someone from Nintendo saying that, not someone from IGN who may or may not know what he's talking about. --Thaddius 00:59, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I was upset when Nintendo of America did that. I e-mailed them about this (long time ago) and got a reply, but unfortunately I deleted it. I remember something about "it was a business decision" and "prevent over stock". That was in 2003. I could e-mail them again, but it would not make sense at this point. I just wanted to add that to support the sentence about "retail confusion". I am guessing the editor found it their (maybe?). Anyway we should just move on. Nauto 03:15, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
