Rockin' the Kasbah!

Whoo! <a>Portable Monopoly</a> will start taking pre-orders on their GBA light mod kit in a month or so, at a cost of $35 + S/H. Rock! This is something I've been looking forward to for some time, and definitely looks to be the best Game Boy peripheral (if you consider it that) ever. The newly redone FAQ page is groovy, with a few parts I took especially keen too: ---------- Will Portable Monopoly install a kit into my GBA? We thought about such an enterprise, but the legal issues were overwhelming. It's very possible that third parties will do the job down the road, however. We've been in talks with interested companies for some time. How does this modification affect battery life of the GBA? Battery life in our tests was 10 hours with the light on at all times using two fully charged Rayovac Renewal batteries. So you can expect about a 30-40% decrease in battery life, no different than what results from using external lighting devices. Does my GBA have to be clear in order for the kit to work? No. Our pictures only use the "glacier" style GBA because we like the glow it gives around the screen. ---------- I've been wanting mine to be Milky Blue anyway, so bonus!
