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..

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.

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!
