Thought someone might like to read this. I particularly like the idea of an Advance price drop in the future. How sweet is that?

the GBA price drop was already announced and it looks like some store like EB will be dropping the price at the end of this month.

I'm still waiting for the drop in Cart prices that they promised a few months back. I still don't think paying $40 for a portable game is worth it. Especially now since that's going to be half the cost of the system.

I really, really wish some of the game prices would drop for the gba. My bf got me one for xmas (the irridescent green celebi one from japan - love the colour, not the pokemon) and i only have 2 games for it (golden sun & super mario advance). I would buy so many more if they were just a little cheaper...

All the GBA games are on sales at Best Buy this week. 1 game $5 off or 2 games $15 off.

I've got Super Dodge Ball Advance and Wario Land 4 for $44.98 + Tax.

I wonder if this is the first sign of price drop on GBA games, because Best Buy is trying to clean up their inventory before the price drop??

I hope so. I'm holding out on some 3rd party games until they reach $25, which I think is a reasonable price for a portable game.

The Cube is half the price of a PS2 for the Euro-launch?

mmconhea

wow, that's a big price difference. I'm surprised Nintendo was able to keep their European price down so low AND have built in PAL compatability.

It's half the price of the XBox, not half the PS2.

(It says $216 for the 'Cube, $280 for the PS2, and $414 for the XBox)
