Turn your GBA into a TV News
GameBoy Advance News by Tom Bramwell
SimplyGames is offering the Blaze TV tuner for the ridiculous price of £10.99. Quite how this is the case is a little beyond us, but there we are.
The peripheral literally turns your GBA into a mini-TV. A quick test reveals that they actually do work. Like, properly. You can see what�s happening on the screen and everything. You can even hear stuff. This means that while you're banned from watching football for 20 hours a day by the dominant female in the house (or a Portuguese court), you can retire to the toilet and watch all the action on a really small screen. Practically for free.
The set includes an AV in/out, so you can plug a PS2, an Xbox or a DVD player into it if you get really desperate. Go here to buy one. These were £50 when they were released in 2002. We don't understand.

I found it difficult to get reception, but watching Firefly DVDs on the GBA is worth £11 of anyone's money. : )

I wonder where I can get one quickly?
Does anyone know of anywhere near Oxford St / Tottenham Court Road that has them? |

I got mine on Friday - it works really well. Once our Afterburner is fitted we'll be able to see the screen too!
And no it doesn't work with the SP, don't know why. And I got my Afterburner kit with all the bits you need and a new case and lens for only £27 from www.consolesplus.co.uk and it came next day too. |

Yeah, a fair bit of a$$ kissing going on there with the sponsors. The advert/article could have at least mentioned that it isn't compatible with the SP!!

Why's everyone being so harsh? It's bringing your attention to a good deal, but it's not exactly forcing you to purchase the thing, is it? I find it interesting, even though I don't own a GBA, nor do I intend to, nor am I interested in watching tv on a tiny screen outside of my house.
I was wondering though, isn't it a little intimidating posting all these items/reviews knowing what sort of reaction it might generate? |
