No... Genso Suikoden 3 LE

GTV: Gameboy Television

NEWS: The Blurbs
   The "First Limited Edition" of Genso Suikoden 3 mentioned in Monday's update does not refer to the www.konamistyle.com exclusive GS3 (Look to your left for this item) but to the first production run of the game which ships in a "limited" DVD case. Publishers occasionally include bonuses to early buyers of games. NCS will ask our vendors in Japan to try and special-order the actual GS3 LE from Konami directly since it is not distributed outside of konamistyle.com. If we're able to import the limited edition, we'll update accordingly. 
   NCS received a Gameboy Advance TV tuner for review a few days ago from an Asian manufacturer. The tuner snaps in back of your GBA and works reasonably well but an Afterburner mod does wonders for the viewing quality. In addition to working as a TV tuner, AV inputs are located on the bottom of the unit which accept video from any source. In our testing, Gamecube titles such as Luigi's Mansion and Wave Race were surprisingly crisp on the GBA screen as were Playstation 2 games such as Tekken 4. A DVD we tested (The Patriot) also displayed well on the small screen. Some other features of the tuner are built-in speakers, a 68cm telescoping antenna, and the ability to store up to 99 channels. If the regulation-issue antenna fails to pull in broadcast signals in your area, a separate antenna input jack allows a pair of rabbit ears to be plugged into the unit for better reception. NCS has not decided if we will supply this product but we'll test it further for a few days and make a judgement call at that time. Overall, the tuner does it's job but we have some reservations about the build quality and the cost per unit.
