bought mine for 45$!
Canadian!
And it will supposedly come with faceplates, a charger, and a free game.
I wait in anticipation.
EDIT: Just got mine in the mail!
The first thought through my head was "its so small"
It came with Iridion 3D!

Go back to the store, get the prices for used and new, and sell them to us.
Unless they still have them because they are ridiculously overpriced.
BECAUSE OF YOU GUYS I JUST SPENT 87 FUCKING DOLLARS ON A GODDAMN 20TH ANNIVERSARY GBM
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
(thanks :P)
Yeah
I went to every EBStop and GameCrazy in the area with no success
It has that Apple-like distortion field where you see it on a computer screen and you're all "whatevs" but then you hold it in your hand and you're all "omgz."
Whenever I have it in my pocket, I find myself occasionally clicking the buttons as a nervous habit. It longs to be touched.
I weep.
To Ebay!
Refurb model straight from Nintendo - $7.50
You can even buy new batteries for it too.
*raises hand*
Brand new one, too. And for some reason it's Japanese.
I'm about to walk out the door to go to a Gamestop to buy one. I called 4 stores in my area and only 1 of them had a used one in stock. Gamestop is selling them for $29.95, which is a total steal considering how much they're going for on eBay.
I bought a used one at gamestop, but the controls were all mushy and worn, so I returned it and ponied up the extra cash for a new one.
I thought about buying one new but I'm not sure I want to plunk down that much cash on an old system. Besides, my birthday was on Monday and my grandmother in-law gave me enough cash to buy a used Micro and a couple of games. She doesn't know that's what I'm going to buy with the money, of course, but I don't really have anything else on my wish list that I just can't do without.
I'm a little pissed, though, that Gamestop is still selling certain GBA games for over $20. Sorry, dudes, I know the Mario Advance games are popular, but they are not $25 of fun anymore. Guess I'll hit up eBay and Amazon for my games.
Yes, it is miniaturized awesome.
And be VERY careful with fake games. There's a guide somewhere to buying GBA games on eBay. (in a nutshell: original picture, states that it's an official cartridge, and check on the circuit board inside the contact area for official markings, and check the picture against official pictures for color differences or label misprints)
This. When I decided to get mine a year and a half ago (I had never owned any handheld before) I was like "ok cool it's a little GBA." When it finally arrived I was like "holy shit it's a holyshitsofuckingTINY GBA!"
It is now beat to shit because I take it with me everywhere. I like to think that with it, by proxy, I'm still pushing her buttons. [wrist] and then someday, the GBM will leave me too [/wrist]
i may or may not also live there.
Granted I was bored as hell the second year...
Just stay away from Camden.
on the subject of GBM, I spent my history class today playing Return of the King and Super Mario World while we were watching a movie. People were all like, "holy shit what is that thing" and I was all "It's a motherfucking game boy is what it is." and continued playing Mario.
As soon as I turn of the game it erases my save. Good thing I only spended 12 buckaroos on it.
You might have a bootleg.
Myself, I have all the Mario Advance titles, except for the original, which I do have, but it's in Japanese.

South Jersey isn't too bad, you just have to know Spanish if you're going to talk to anyone.. oi. That, and there's nothing to do. I live right smack in the center of southern Jersey, so if I want to do anything I'm in the same situation as you, drive an hour to get anywhere.
