A Gamecube is $150, with a FREE $50 value game at most stores.

A GBA is $100.

If you buy a GC, you can easily take the free game and exchange it for store credit or a different game at some stores. So the GC ends up being $100.

Hey. Could you trade in the free game and exchange it for credit to use on the GBA:SP? You could get the GC and the GBA:SP for $200 that way. Ask them to throw in a link cable and it's a done deal.

I have seen a TON of questions on here about the headphone adapters, I have seen a few on Ebay for about 7.99 (new of course), but I have a dumb question.

All the versions of the headphone adapter I have seen is just that, an adapter for the headphones....end of story. Would it be possible to have a "2 pronged" one, like a Y adapter type one, so you can have it plugged in AND listen to the SP with headphones at the same time???? Thanks...

I picked mine up at Sam's, with the Zelda bundle. I'm going to make use of it tomorrow night while I'm waiting in a parking lot for three hours.

Someone (Interact?) is making such a Y-adapter for headphones+charger. I saw it on a webpage.

It is $129 + a free game (Metroid, Resident Evil.. and a few other games to pick from) at Circuit City

Is anyone having trouble finding these? I got mine last Saturday, because I knew that people didn't know that they were released yet and I was fearful of trying to fight through Sunday crowds to get one. But I went to Target today and they were restocking with dozens of them. Is it the war? The fact that it's not really a "new" system? The price compared to Gamecube? The fact that Nintendo oddly decided to release Zelda in the same week (though that, too, isn't selling as briskly as I would've thought)?

I got 2 Planitium GBA SP 2 days from now & Plantium GC on the Side :)

Now........ I Need Only GameBoy Player :)

Had mine since Monday. I wasn't going to get one, but when I held the demo they had about 3 weeks ago, I put down my money :) Still adjusting to the feel of it, mainly the shoulder buttons, but the light is worth it. I'll have to eventually get one for my 3 year old. When he sees this, he'll flip. Still have my AB GBA. Haven't really compared them yet. Maybe this weekend I'll do my own little comparo.

Zelda is the #1 Most pre-ordered game ever...so it IS selling.

Quick question, I apoligize if it has been asked before:

Does anyone here have the official Nintendo link cable, and does it work with your SP?

I have the 3rd party Nyko one and its a bit to long and when you put it on, it presses both of the trigger buttons in.

I never buy 3rd party products. I have the official Link cable and have played very much Pokemon with it the last few days..

:confused:
So does it press the trigger buttons when you put it on or not?

i just got my GBA SP blue

nice!!!

i picked up Advance Wars based on reviews...so far I really like it. this will totally keep my occupied while i wait for the bus

I have the official Nintendo link cable and I'm happy to inform that they fit perfectly on the SP. Doesn't press the trigger buttons. ^_^

Did it really pre order more than Vice City? Not doubting you, but I thought that game pre ordered like a million or something.

Got mine yesterday at Circuit City along with Earthworm Jim for free. I wasn't going to get one but then decided to sell first GBA on Half. I love the look and feel and the light. Only one problem which I was having with my first one. I think I'm going to have to get a magnifier as the screen is just a bit hard on my eyes. :(

I finally broke down and bought one. I picked up a cobalt one at Fry's. Also, picked up Metroid Fusion, Zelda, and Namco Museum for it. This is the first Gameboy I've owned since I got the original Gameboy back in 1989, or whenever it came out. I still have it, so I also put a few of my old Gameboy games in the GBA and played around with them. I haven't played most of these games in about 10-12 years. They're still fun. I'll have to check out the $10 GBA games thread and see if there is anything in there that interests me.

I saw a coupon in EGM for GBA SP 59.99 with trade-in of GBA at EB. I may do this, since I'd really like to have the lighted version (plus, although I haven't had my GBA too long, it came with free Yoshi's Island, so getting $40 credit for it wouldn't be too bad at this point).

Just got mine yesterday. Platinum.

This is the first handheld I've had since I picked up a GameGear and a cartridge with 120 arcade games on it in Taipei in 1996.

Got Zelda, MarioAdvance, Namco Museum, Tetris Worlds, and am looking for Ultimate Brain Games and Snood.

Cool Stuff for a little system.

Maybe he's referring to the GC Zelda. If you preordered it, you also received the N64 Zelda on another disc. Hell, I don't even own a GC but I was thinking about buying one just to preorder Zelda.

I hope he's not referring to Zelda 4 Swords. Isn't it just the SN Zelda with added multiplayer in it?

I've had my Platinum for 5 days now and I love it. :D

I sold my original Glacier GBA a few months ago after not touching it for months.

The SP is just fantastic. I can't get enough of Advance Wars and Metroid Fusion. So many excellent games and I can actually see them now!
