Just curious what color people are choosing or getting for the GBA. I ordered the Amazon Mario bundle which has the Indigo, not my first choice but I used some GC's to order this well under the package price.

I like solid colors best but I don't like the indigo and I think white is a stupid color for a game system that you will be using a lot. Think of how dirty it will look. I guess the see-through purple (glacier). I wonder how long it will be until Nintendo releases all new colors

I'm going with Glacier since the white one will be really nasty looking after I put in a good 100 hours, and purple...well it's purple.

I have mine. It's Indigo. But I already have it, so I can't complain.

If I get one it will be glacier, but I will wait to see the screen in action before I decide to buy.

I believe Toys R Us has some GBAs on display and to play with. At least that's the case here in Eugene, OR.

I'm getting Arctic! Here's a tip for those of you worried about getting your system dirty...

Wash your hands before you use it!

Yeah but you know how sweaty your hands get when you're furiously playing Mario. I guess latex gloves is always an option.

Got the Glacier myself...reminds me of when I bought the Gameboy color when it launched. I got the same color then too (clear purple.)

I want Indigo too. I bet the demand for Indigo and Artic will be the highest. I want Atomic, or the Pokemon Center edition, but they only made Atomic for GBC and the Pokemon Center is a Japanese exclusive.

A Mario one would be nice too, but on June 11th, I'm not going to settle for a Fushia or anything.

After looking at it online, I actually like the Indigo more than I originally did. I'm glad I am getting one.

An update:

I finally preordered today..............INDIGO!!

I decided that I did not like the white because it was too ugly and would show dirt. The glacier color is alright but too common and everyone has it (the Toys R Us was sold out of that color). I like the gray buttons on the Indigo and the look of the solid color. Plus it seems that is Nintendo's flagship color.

Glacier, all the way, just played one today at my local Gamestop and I was very amazed, this system is one of the best handhelds ever, it makes the Gameboy Color look like a waste of Nintendo's time and money.

My wife imported the Pokemon Center one, it's light bluish. Very nice little system, unfortunately we didn't get a game. But one thing Nintendo has learned is backward compatibility, so we can play all our GB games. We picked up one of the new Zelda's today and the guy said that if you play it on an Advance, it opens up new levels. We haven't tried it yet, but we'll give it a shot.
