I haven't really been following the games scene, but I'm aware the DS is coming out pretty soon, so I'm asking you learned people if Nintendo will still be producing GBA games, if there will be a further price cuts, and if anyone wants to sell a GBA to me if they're planning on selling it.
And before you ask, the reason I don't want a DS is because I want a handheld primarily to play on the train, and I don't want to spend over a ton on a DS and have it half-inched on the District line a week later.

That is perfectly true. In fact Gametron maybe keener to flog it at a cheaper price if the UK version is avalible.
I'll make my judgement based on the free demo you get.
I'll wait till the launch of the DS in Europe for many reasons, in case there is any trouble with some of the connectivity (as was the case with the GBA SP) and simply because i want easily avalible games.

Makes a change...

You know when it comes to it in March, or whenever you decide you do want one to fit in with your other game playing, it might still be cheaper to import :P
It won't be Japanese will it?

Yeah, er sorry about that. I posted that before I visited Importmadness again. Luckily I preordered mine before the stock ran out, so I should hopefully have one next week.
Lik-sang apparently have some stock left, although I haven't checked.
Wait till the UK release and enjoy your Gameboy while you still can.
