    That's downloads only on the DSi though, I believe the carts are good to go.

    I found them on IGN via NeoGAF. I have the set on my photobucket.

    15! 15 GBA games! AH HA HA!

    Got this tonight, Brand New still MISB from one of my major retailers that has some old games. And for only $7.50! Gotta love games for systems that are now considered "old!"

    Sure it's not as good as it's sequel, "Iridion 2", but I'll pick that one up too when I find it. This was on my in-progress list of GBA games to buy, so I obviously went ahead and purchased it. I need more shooters for my GBA anyways. Contra and Metal Slug Advance can only do so much.

    This sucker is from 2001, the year GBA debuted. It's 2009 now...Yeah, heck of a time gap to still find one of these around.

    Enjoy the "3-D" graphics:

    Anyone know of a region free Dreamcast? I heard that some of them before a certain date are region free.

    Anyone have any info?
