I purchased the GBA on 3/7/02 and they charged my card the next day. The site also said that it shipped on 3/8/02 and yesterday 3/13/02 I received it.

They don't seem to give you any warning that the item is coming your way, except for the little blurb about the ship date. But there was no e-mail saying that the item had shipped, nor was there any tracking # to see that it was coming.

I got an email when I first placed the order so I looked at that. It had a link to track the order and all it says there is that my order was accepted on 3/8.

Nope, sorry but I'm not aware of any good ones. I'm probably not the best one to ask, as I've lived here only 2 yrs. I buy a lot of my stuff online (but buy.com and CDNow both charge 5% tax now in IN )

Received mine today. Successfully traded the Fuchsia for Indigo at Wal-Mart. Neither were the colors I wanted(Glacier) but that's all Wal-Mart in my area had(better than pink) and I couldn't convince myself to go try another store for something that is not that big of a deal in the first place. And I couldn't wait to play Super Mario World and F-Zero, which both are very nice games.

Got mine today. Ugly-ass fuscia. I thought about swaping it out at my local Wal-Mart, but decided I've gone to that well too often already. No point in raising a red (or fuscia) flag over something as inconcequential as color. Besides, as Ross Gellar would say, it's not pink, it's LIGHT SALMON.

Really enjoying the new Crash game. Wow, they really did a nice job squeezing the power available out of this system for the game. Will try THPS3 tomorrow....

Received mine today. The packing box was crushed, but luckily the Gameboy Advance box was fine.
