Kaxxx Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Just been to my local store and picked up a Blue version for £39.99 brand new. They are selling the Silver, Green, Blue and Pink all for the same price. Thats £30 off compared to everywhere else.
*Dalco* Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 woah 40 quid nice price as an impusle buy, i may get one
Colin Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Toys R Us are apparently doing them for £29.99 instore.
Colin Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 pity there's no decent games for it. If that statement is about future releases, then fair enough...............but the GBA has a massive back-catalogue of tons of quality games at decent prices.
Locky Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 According to 29isprime on GamesRadar, Micros are £35 instore at Toys R Us.
Nintendork Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 It may have a library, great for eBay and car boot hunters.. but as far as retail support is concerned you will only get offered a couple of first party B listers and a ton of movie tie in Z list games at £25. If they wanted the micro to sell well in spite of the DS then Nintendo would need to offer the great games in stores.. average people 'impulse buyers' as one poster claimed they need to be presented with the goods. I've not seen a decent GBA game on a store shelf in years.
Kaxxx Posted September 23, 2006 Author Posted September 23, 2006 Thats why i own a 512mb cart and dump ROMS on it. Im not one for piracy (never have been) if i cant get the games for it then im prepared but go down this line.
Nintendork Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Yeah standard, I'd probably do the same tbh.. I'm thinking of building one of those MAME cases for University. Dunno if they'd let me have it in the dorms though.
mario114 Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 I've not seen a decent GBA game on a store shelf in years. Yeer thats a good point, and I have most of top GBA games, but £35 thats tempting, if they had the Famicon gold version I would jump at the chance, but i dunno, if it drops any more I'll pick one up.
Jav_NE Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 I was tempted by one of these as they are so sexy and diddy. But, as people say, there arn't games coming out for it anymore really, and i don't have that many to warrant a purchase over playing them on the DS. Still, it would be a nice accessory to someone who did buy alot of GBA games back in the day i would've thought. I only had about 10, then i got robbed Now i only have like 3 or 4, and i dont play them anymore anyway. Shame, its a sexy piece of kit.
Nintendork Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 I tell you what though, that is the perfect price for a girlfriend present. It looks much more expensive than it actually is. Give her a game too and she'll be well chuffed. Oh if only I had the girl..
