GameSetCompetition: Win A Game Boy Camera!
Aha, it's time for the next GameSetCompetition, and this one is for something I picked up when I was in Japan for Tokyo Game Show - a pristine-ish Game Boy Camera in box, for all your retro several-shades-of-gray picture hilarity!
As you can see if you squint at the above picture (the camera is posed next to my Chinese WoW Coke bottle and various other weird things, yes), Superpotato in Osaka was blowing out Game Boy Cameras for just 200 yen (yep, under $2), so I really couldn't resist picking a couple up. Of course, I have one already (and used to do Game Boy Camera galleries like my life depended on it, until I lost the PC connection cable), so I don't need 'em - so a lucky GSW reader will inherit this one!
The question this time round is pretty simple:
"How many pictures can the Game Boy Camera hold in its titanically large 1 megabit SRAM memory?"
Please send your answers to editors@gamesetwatch.com any time before Monday, October 30th at 12 noon PST. There will be one winner randomly picked from the correct answers, the judges' decision is final, and that's that. Have fun!

I may have two, but I don't have a japanese model. The printer rocked too, but finding official paper for it these days is a bit of a task.

I'm very tempted, but my good ol' Game Boy from 1989 is near death with a fatal screen issue (as in, lines of pixels no longer light up). I don't suppose this would work with a GBA SP, hmm?

it works with an sp, the lens is just a little upside-down. there's an option to flip the image, but really it's easier just to hold the gameboy upside-down while framing the picture.
