Play the original Game Boy in 1080p on an HDTV with hdmyboy [Eurogamer.net]

The hdmyboy is one of the craziest - and potentially most beloved - propositions in ages: an upgrade to the original 1989 Game Boy that will upscale its minimalist graphics into a smooth 1080p image on your contemporary HDTV.
Proposed by brothers Zane Amiralis & Joshua de Haan on Kickstarter, the hdmyboy is a module that you install on a Game Boy Classic by opening up its case and slotting it in the middle of the handheld device.
"hdmyboy gives you the sharpest and best picture you've ever seen come out of your Game Boy as we redraw every pixel without blurs (or anti-aliasing)!" the developer boasted. "We prefer 1080P FullHD, but support 720P. There are two modes: Scale, which is the same ratio as the game boy screen and Stretch, which is a full screen mode which redraws the graphics slightly wider."

So you can pay a lot of money for a ribbon cable and some part attached to it so you can pull apart the old GB to have it display in HDMI on a TV negating its portability, or for about the same price get a Retron5, do everything it does plus all the other GB games(C and A) along with other systems too. I don't see a point in this product.

A Gameboy Player for the Gamecube with a component cable would look fine enough enough, or if you must have HD, the Retron5 can pull that off.

Systems that I would like this for are almost every other portable that doesn't have a television adapter option.
