Makro are selling the GBA for £64.99 + VAT and GT Championship for £19.99 + VAT. I don't know about the other games but it's the best deal i've see yet.

Hopefully. Remember though, it's the shop retailers that are out to make a profit, and seeing as they're so greedy, the profit margin is larger than expected, hence the £35 prices.

I do think they should be £20 max. FOr GOd sake - they are more expensive than dreamcast games (£29.99) and many Playstation one and 2! I'm sure they will drop to £25 soon though.

Can someone honestly say hand on heart that 30-35 quid for F-Zero on the GBA is not steep? The programming and production costs for such a game must be miniscule compared to say MGS2 on the PS2 which will retail at only 5-10 quid more.
Am I the only person who finds Nintendo's software pricing policy offensive?
They've got the handheld market wrapped up so they think they can rip off the punter.
GBA games should be 20 quid max.

Only expressing an opinion. I do, however, apologise for the blotted out swearing. Grovel, grovel....
