Anyone here want E-Readers?

Anyone want E-Readers? I can get them for about $30 plus shipping (the version that comes with Pinball). I know they're not easy to find in some areas, and the ShopKo by my house has them. Pay-Pal me the funds, and it's yours. They have like five left and they're not exactly flying off shelves.

These are hard to get in some places? They're going for almost half prce on ebay, and every store around me has them, as you said, they're not exactly flying off the shelves :)

Nah, you couldn't pay me to take one of those things. :) My local stores always have them in stock, and I haven't seen a single person buy one. I tried out a store demo GBA with the reader, and I had to swipe a card about 15 times before I got it to load up .. a cheesy ice hockey game, that made pong look good by comparison. ;) And from what I hear, some games require entire SETS of cards that must be read in, in sequence, to play. So, with 15 tries per card, and a 10-card set, you're looking at 150 swipes to play a game, plus breaks to go get pain-relievers for the splitting headache caused by the process. ;) Brings back memories of 12-disk OS installations on my old Macintosh! @_@

Think that's bad? Try accidentally bending a card, and the above process will look like nothing compared to the level of pain you will then experience..

.. in conclusion, GBA games are stored on ROM chips for a reason.

Thanks but I got one already :D

It's pretty good. I dig it a lot. Although I will admit for NES games I often just use the NES emulator that's out there (works great for portable Adventures of Lolo :P)
