Shoot, I wish I wouldn't bought an SP in August. I was under the assumption that the DS would not play GBA games. I guess i was wrong though. Damn!

It was said today that the DS won't be able to play GB/GBC games or on GBA games, you cant do multiplay since it doesnt have the same connector.

But, since the GBA/GB/GBC use similar cart's with one being smaller, an emulator will come in the future that will work around that.

Well, I felt your pain until I read what Jonbo said. I bought my SP right before DS was announced...so I kind of flipped out. But, I have this awesome NES retro SP, so I still want to keep it. And now that I know that the DS wont play GBA games...it's all the more worth it.

They better bring out a cool PKMN game then.

I'm really looking forward to this thing. Perhaps my bro and me will BOTH get one from the start.

Do your parents buy it for you or do you use your own money? If so, how do you earn your money?

Ah...I took it as Jonbo saying it wouldnt play any old GB games, including GBA. Ah well....NES GBA SP is still sweet.
