It's obvious I'm not going to get either of you to understand. But I'll try one more time, and then we can move on.

The situation with the GBA/GBA SP bothers me because I feel I was mistreated as a loyal customer of Nintendo's. I bought the GBA around the time of it's release. And the fact that they're releasing a new system so soon that improves on a problem that should never have existed in the first place displeases me. If you want to consider that a hissyfit, then so be it. But it's my right as a consumer to decide what I like and don't like. It is my right to have a hissyfit. I paid $70 for a GBA, and I can't justify playing and addition $100 for what I feel is their mistake, and not mine.

As for lighting. My room has those bulbs that are supposed to last for like 20 years. That also means they're not as bright as normal ones. Maybe that attributes to the glare. Then again, maybe it's the fact that I own Super Mario Advance and Circle of the Moon (which is well-known to be hard as fuck to see). I'm sure other games have been made with this in mind. In fact, I know it has. But still, there are next to no games on the GBA I would want. And when it comes to spending $40, I'd rather buy something else than a GBA game that I may or may not be interested in.

On top of that, I don't have a job at the moment. I don't HAVE $100 to spend.

Tim. I said that I am sure there are game I'd like for GC. I'd very much be interested on Metroid, Zelda, and others. But there's not enough games for me to justify buying the system. That doesn't mean I don't like the titles before I even played them. That doesn't mean I have bad taste. It means I don't want to spend $200 on a system just for a number of games I can count on one hand.

End of story.
