I'm sure the gba tv tuner has been out awhile, but I'm not so sure that it has not had much publicity since It hasn't "officially" come out in America yet, but does anyone else know anything about it? Oh, and if you can find out a price for it, post here. The best price I've seen for it is about $27.

So, anything?

What's it do? Let you watch TV on your GBA, it would look kind of fuzzy because the GBA doesn't have that many pixels.

27 bucks is pretty cheap... Though the picture would be small... If you travel a lot, then I'd get this, but if you stay home... leave those things to the big, bad, TV.

There are many 3rd party devices for the GBA. Including MP3 players, etc.

Just wait, the GBDS will have many more interesting mods, including wireless internet acess and gameplay over the internet wirelessly.

Sigh, why do people keep saying it's the gameboy DS? It's Nintendo DS like Nintendo 64. Anyway, I saw a movie/music/picture player for 20 bucks on liksang, pretty neat stuff. They have already released a movie/music player for the DS in japan, it costs 50 bucks, but it lasts for 10 hours compared to PSP's pathetic 3 or so hours.

Does it matter what people call it? It's the same difference.

$20 just for that!!!

That's a good deal. But, I have never seen or heard of those before.

idk about the price but the TV tuner is pretty sweet. On a trip one of my freinds had one. unfortunatly we were out in the country so all we really picked up was Jepoerdy....but in general the tv tuner is pretty cool. It like triples the size of the gba though and it's kinda hard to hold...

Thats different than what im talking about. I'm talking about wireless internet connection, you're talking about the wireless DS to DS connection.

Still the screen is tiny. Plus you can only get local channels, not channels like Fuse and VH1.

Uhm what exactly is a gba tv? Is it like a portable mini tv?

Report, edit, etc...Posted by olaboy- on 2005-02-02 at 18:45:46

It plugs into your GBA and acts like an antenna, I guess.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Wolf on 2005-02-02 at 18:55:16

you can get it off the internet, i think they have it on EBAY for cheap, but i don't trust EBAY they could just take picture of the ite put up the picture and then just sell the object, well anyway i think they have them at bestbuy and circut city

and olaBoy- your right it's like a mini entenna that plugs into the usb thingy

The reception can't be too good.

You would need to have a pretty big antenna to get good reception.
