I have seen way too many people unaware of this player, who keep saying PSP is the only media centre and not DS. Well surprise, surprise..

Description
The GBA Movie Player enables you to use your Gameboy Advance™ or Gameboy Advance SP™ to play video and audio files and read e-books from standard Compact Flash™ cards. You can use your PC and a normal Compact Flash card reader to transfer and convert your media files to the Compact Flash cards. The included software even converts files directly from DVD to the proper GBA format. The GBA Movie Player supports 'multi tasking', meaning that you can play songs while you are reading e-books in simple text format.


To be honest, I don't really know the difference between the two... Could some point them out?

Heh.. knew someone would say that.

I was just calculating how much I would need to spend on my DS:

Nintendo DS with WarioWare Touched! and accesories: £125
MP3/MPEG4 Player: £25

Still seems cheaper than the psp tongue.gif

I sincerely doubt that. No official word of any revision for the DS, especially since it's doing so well.

As for the media player, it's for japan only. But if you read the interviews done by Reggie (Marketing VP in US), he did mention that they hoping to release a US version with the ability to download free music. So I suggest anyone interested in this device to wait. Maybe they will reveal something at E3 in may.

There is no new GBA. There won't be one till 2008. These were rumors spread by the fags at IGN which a month later they retracted. Also at GDC reggie confirmed that these were mere rumors and that they are far from releasing any kind of next gen GBA out for long time.

Yup, but the PSP is designed to do things like this, thus it will proberbly do a better job of it. And be a lot cleary whilst playing movies and such.

Lmfao

On topic: I've decided to wait for PSP to come out in the UK, and then look for cheap deals for it.. as I can't find any now on the internet.

Sure, DS has media capabilities, but I know which one I'd rather be watching movies on...

DS and the next GBA are gonna be completely different. You cant say its not worth buying. I can easily say that the next GBA wont have a touch screen. Thats for the DS.
