Right, I've had a fine week until today and heres why...

Today I recieved my GBA SP with one game, when I opened it I found that the GBA SP had some really big scratched on the cover of it. The guy told me that the GBA Box was a little tired (bit bashed up) but he said nothing about the GBA SP being scratched like hell.

So thats one thing that annoyed me, the other thing was the game. I specifically asked for the Mario game (He had about 6 games that I could choose from to have with my GBA) and I got Pokemon Ruby!

I used to have this game and I completed it so im not happy to have the game again. So now i've e-mailed him saying that if he doesn't come up with a solution then i'll give him Negative Feedback (and he has 100% feedback so that'll really ruin his business he has on Ebay).

I cant beleive this is happening, the guy has his own Website and everything!
I think he should send me Mario and let me keep Pokemon too, but then i've still got the ugly GBA SP with a milliopn scratches on it.

What do you guys think I should do?

Just buy both, it's not like the SP is even remotely expensive these days, especially not the hundreds of hours of retro fun you will have, even if the majority of games that I have for it are updated Snez ports. The DS isn't out for a while yet and if you can grab a few link up cables and Four Swords on the Cube you will be having one of the best (if not the best) multiplayer setup since Micro Machines on the Mega Drive.

Why people get so tight fisted over £70-80 baffles me to be honest.

If rumour is accurate, its set to be somewhere in the £100 region methinks, though that estimate-ish malarky could be off target.

Same here, I really want the DS.

When d'ya think they'll announce the price of the DS?

If they allow you to preorder soon then i'll wait.

I might do as it goes, just to annoy Bullett.
:D

Seriously though, I haven't got enough cash to get it anyway.

Damn you, damn you to hell for reminding me of this! I'm trying to resist the urge to buy it!
