GBP (and by that I do not mean Great Britain Pound hehe), is one of the reasons why people should keep their Gamecubes, Wii will play GC Games but not GBP stuff which looks great on a big screen.

I wouldn't have thought there would be a display cabinet for that. Pretty snazzy looking and keeps dust off. :)

Gimme a Mulligan on that golf ball display for GB carts! Genius!
Might have to price check this at the local Golf shop.

Neat topic. I often bring my original non-lit GBA to our local water park when my wife is tanning and I am done with the water slides. I find that the original GBA has about the sharpest screen of all the GBAs, especially when it is under a good light source (ie the sun). I also like that I can simply pop in another set of AA batteries if I run out of juice at the beach. If my SP were to die I would have to find a power outlet (not available at the beach) to charge up the battery and continue playing. My last beach games were Phantasy Star collection and Breath of Fire.

Brought a good point up other controller capabilities. I knew a GC controller could be use on GBA games through the GB Player, didn't realize the steering wheel could.
