Ages seems to be more puzzle based and Seasons more action based. I only scratched the surface of them but maybe I can get a good start on one by the end of the summer.

Kirby - They're not really "left out", but considering how many GBA's are out there... It's hard to find someone upgrading directly from the GB/GBC to the DS.

The main reason the DS does not support GB/GBC is the fact that there are compatibility issues, just like the controllers and memory cards of the PS2.

I do not really mind that much, since I probably sill not be throwing out my SP or GBA Player anytime soon..... Then again, i dont know anyone who carries around 2 handheld systems.

No you know one.

And the 'compatibility issue' with the PS1 and PS2 Controller, and sp. with the Memorycards is only a moneymaking sheme.

It's like I can't use my old Disk on the new computer anymore. (Be it Cd, Zip or just play 3.5").

I never got that PS1/2 memory card scheme... That's likely the ONLY reason I can walk into any video game store here and buy a PS1 card. (Or even a PSOne. )

The cards are pretty cheap for the PS1, but still... For someone who buys a brand new PS2 and wants to buy some old PS1 games, it's a slap in the face.

...Keep it to play GB/GBC games if you have them?

I'd still hold on to it - doubt you can link them but...

RUMOR has it that the DS price will be $179 American. That's really not too bad considering the technology.

A friend of mine (Rich bastard! ) has this awesome palm-pilot that can do more than those two put together. The thing cost only about $400, but hey! That's a great deal considering the fact that it has...

-Schedule devices
-180gigs of space
-Remote control programmer
-An internet modem

He downloaded all the emulators and whatnot he would ever need on there.
-N64
-PS2
-Dreamcast
-Sega Genesis
-SNES
...the works!

I saw one just like that and I am saving up my extra cash to get one myself.

I wonder how fast the price will drop.

It could be even lower, the technology who is used isn't that advanced.
