I don;t like Gameplay. My GB link cable took a mighty 11, yess, 11 days to get to me. (Sorry Tony, SR was out of stock at the time. Shamefully, it was to trade Pokémon with)

I think I heard somewhere in Wimbledon that they are going to stop taking in orders of the GBA, don't know why...

lack of stock?

Yeah my local gameplay dissapeared a few months ago, I was a bit miffed as it was the only big local highstreetstore that ever discounted new releases (if only for a limited period of a week).

Well yes, they have lost a lot of money.

We also know that they sold their "boxed games division" to a couple of their managers in Leeds, for a consideration of Ł1. That's the bit which competes with us.

I didn't know they were cancelling GBA pre-orders, that's interesting. Any more info like that would be welcome, for example if your friends mention something.

Gameplay, they are having troubles with money, I have heard in the past (from you Tony) that they have been losing money.... due to this I think they have been cancelling the intake of some of there stock.

If that makes any sense to you, I feel sleepy...

er-no

Maybe that's it, but if they are cancelling GBA preorders, why are they? Has the release date been put back or is there going to be shortages.
