When the GBA is released on 22nd June its price is to be in the area of £80 - £90.
Many people say it is too expensive, but lets compare it to some other items....
Say you are a smoker, and smoke twenty a day....
A GBA is the equialant to 24 packets of cigarettes, so in the space of a year could you give up 24 days of smoking and you could own a GBA.....
If you were to go to a football match and pay say (£20) to watch team, you could give up four matches to own a GBA...
Say you buy lots of music in a year, you could give up 8 albums to own a GBA...
Give up a pint of beer a day, not give up beer, just miss one pint. Only 53 pints and you could own a GBA...
Well you get the general idea, the GBA is WELL worth the value. With only changing a few of your daily habbits...
ie. Give up a few fags, cut down on beer a little, decide to leave an album and miss a game of football and you could own a GBA without loss of money.

You buy a GBA, I'll smoke, drink, watch football and listen to glorious music.

Of course, you could go under cover as a 13 year old welsh boy...steal a GBA from a Special Reserve shop, run all the way back to Wales and Hide in a field....but I'd go with Sheepy's Idea....even though it isn't quite as professional!
You could always just ask for one for your birthday if it's nearby, like mine for instance!!

Hide in a field?
Hide in a sheep more like.

If you were actually in Wales it would look better if you hid parts of you in a sheep, then you would just blend in.

Another interesting fact...
PS2 arrives at the same price as the original PS1. Everyone complains it's too expensive, except Sony fans, who - in general - defend the price.
GBA arrives at the same price as the original Gameboy. Everyone complains it's too expensive, except Nintendo fans, who - in general - defend the price.
So, I'll say exactly the same here in defence of the GBA as I've said about the PS2...
Everything has gone up in price. The fact that you can get a GBA for the same price as the original machine is a GOOD THING. You are effectively getting much more power for LESS money.
In fact, as the original Gameboy around twice as old as the PS1, you're probably getting a better deal. So stop bloody whinging!
