Humm. Earlier today me and my brother went to Special Reserve with our birthday money. We bought Grand Prix World for £8.99, as well as a GBA with Super Mario Advance for £107.99.

I haven't played it all that much yet, but will do tonight. I've never really played this type of game before (never owned a GBC,) and from what I've played, it seems like a lot of fun.

Anyway, I'm still a Sony at heart. {:) When Sony bring out a decent handheld, I'll be selling my GBA and getting that. {:)

Right, now I'm gonna try and figure out how to attach that stupid lace thing to the GBA Carry Case.

Thanks for reading, Ant.

Oh yeah-thanks for all the birthday messages guys!!

But Ant, with its cheap cheap price surely you can find a place for the Gamecube?

Your second statement is correct FM. Of course, if I had the choice, I'd much prefer to be playing my PS2 than the GBA, but I can't play the PS2 in the car, or outside, or many other places apart from my room.

I still do not plan on purchasing a GameCube. Nooooo way.

As Ant is Very small, I think, the GBA would suit him better, as he could crawl in nice and comfy....

The question here is: Will Ant be converted to the delights of Nintendo games, or will the GBA just look too 'retro' because he has the delights of his PS2.

Or will he judge them equal? One being ideal for a home based console and one being ideal for 'on the go' gaming?

Sony will never make a decent handheld... and anyway.. it could never compete with the GB industry!

Well Done Ant!

AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
