Am I missing something? a g6 lite is only $80 to $100, while the normal g6's are going for $180 - $200. Shouldn't the big ones be cheaper?
Yeah, the GBAtemp review said that much. The compatibility for GBA games might be something to keep an eye on, but I'm just trying to figure out if there's something else going on there that we don't know about.I have the G6 Lite and original and I can say there are no performace issue differences when running DS games. GBA games I don't play on the G6 so I can't say. But again the G6 and G6lite both play DS games perfectly and in the same manner!
in the GBA section of this forum, a few people claimed that the G6 lite works perfectly on GBA (and that's what I plan to use it for since I don't have a ds yet).
I still have no clue why the price difference is so great.
Yeah, I can confirm this -- every GBA game I've thrown at my original G6 works without issue whatsoever. Kind of a big "who cares" in my book, but whatever.
Also, I e-mailed the chaps at GamerSection for some insight into this. Got a response this afternoon.

Hello,QUOTE said:Hey there, I was just looking through your site and noticed that the
old-style G6 Flash 4Gbit is significantly more expensive than the G6
Lite. I'm sure this is a question you get all the time, but would you
happen to know why that is? I own an original G6 that I paid almost
$200 for awhile ago, and I'm curious as to what makes the G6 Lite so
much less expensive. Is it just a more competitive market, an
introductory price, does it lose GBA compatibility, or is something
else going on?
Thanks much for your time!

   We are quite unsure of the reasoning behind the lower pricing on the
G6 Lite, it may be because it is only in Chinese. The English version of the
G6 Lite should be available in 2 weeks and from what we know so far, will be
more expensive (probably closer in price to the regular G6 Flash). We'll
only really know its pricing once it becomes available.

I preordered my G6 Lite from Hopebuy on July 4 for $79.90. If the English version goes up in price, will they ask me to pay more money? Has anyone emailed Hopebuy about this?
