Used GBA SP
My girlfriend just decided she'd like one of these for Christmas. Now I'm scrambling to find one and see if i have enough money to fit it in with everything else.
What's the cheapest way to get one? I haven't seen any great deals though I may have missed them. They have them used at Gamestop for $59.99 with no game, is this about the best i'm going to do?

Yes, I know it sounds cheap, but I pretty much already have all of her christmas presents, this is sort of a last minute addition that i'd like to surprise her with if i can afford it.
Having said that, is $79.99 the standard price for this? There aren't any bundles or deals or anything?

With the holidays, i'm sure that you'll be able to find some sort of bundle that includes either accessories or a game before Christmas. For instance, Circuit City this week gives you a carrying case.

I don't think she'd mind that much if it's used. I mean if it's beaten to hell and back that's one thing, but if it's still got the packaging and is in good shape I doubt she would care.
Does gamestop sell their used ones with the packaging?

As long as you get a used pink sp, you should be fine. It's doubtful that anyone with sweaty hands would play on a pink sp.
BTW, 10 cents worth of anti-bacterial wipes should take care of any "cooties" that may be on a used sp.

I thought Pink SP was a Japan/Europe only.
Ooh.. looks like Europe has a Gold SP Limited Edition with a Triforce emblem and the new Zelda.
The Best Buy Surf Blue LE is pretty slick looking too.

Blockbuster has a "make your own bundle" deal, where you get 2 used games and the system for 60, I think. You need to find a Blockbuster with a Game Rush in it, as the regular BB stores usually don't carry systems.
