Gameboy Advance $50 at Costco
I was at Costco yesterday and pick up the following deal. They have a Gameboy Advance package with the the Gameboy Advance, the game Super Mario World 2, the strategy guide for the game and a wacky pak (Case to put everything in) all for $49.97. This was going for $69.97 , a couple of weeks ago. This deal probably depends on the stock at your local Costco. They had a quite a few of these at the Tri-county store for anyone living near Cincinnati.
They also had a number of GBA games for $13.99, though probably nothing to excite the member of this board. My 7-year daughter like them though. There was Piglet's Big Game, Secret Agent Barbie and Jungle Book. There were others, but thats all I remember.

Picked one up last night ... finally got a hold of my buddy's Costco card (apparently his card did not have a picture, so I could use it).
Great Deal. The Fuschia colored ones were all that were left, but a great deal and my son won't care about the color when he cracks it open at Christmas. I was going to pick him up a Mario game anyway for the GBA player, and for just a few bucks more got him his own GBA to go with it, along with a carrying case and the strategy guide.

Fuschia?!? Is that like Ecru or Cream or Eggshell or Seafoam Mist?

My spectrum only contains primary colors plus a few others -- like the kinds found in a Crayola box.... and I'm not talking about the BIG hundred-crayon box either... and don't get me started on the subtle nuances of Blue-Green versus Green-Blue.

Its also a bad sign when the colors start getting hard to pronounce. I liked it when it was red, blue, pink, maybe a complicated purple.

I myself would LOVE a pink Gameboy. I had to paint my Glacier one..it's not a good paint job..
I can't wait until Pearl Pink comes out in the US for GBASP.
Maybe this is a good time to teach your son to have some individuality and not be obsessed and restricted by dumb social stereotypes.

The GC we have is black, and of course our X-box is like Henry Ford intended, any color you want as long as it is black.
Who would have thought so many people here would be console color bigots?
