(no you wouldn't!) 2) Would you spend an extra 10 pounds more if the Color t.v. had a better picture? (of coarse you would!) The bottom line is who would buy GameBoy original when GameBoy color doesn't cost that much more. Who is going to buy a GameBoy color when GameBoy Advance comes out? GameBoy Advance will play the old games! Why? Why would anyone think different! I'll tell EB myself to stop stocking this old crap when GameBoy Advance ever gets released! Someone, anyone, please respond saying you agree with me on this....
