Went in Games*ation yesterday and they are all out of stock.

Phoned up my local G*ME this morning and they are all out of stock with none in until Tuesday.

Special Reserve probably have them but they don't do trade-in's for hardware so moo.

Damn game*tation, £50 for a Sp when you trade in GBA they said.
I pre-order and ask if I can do the trade in deal - "yeah just bring your GBA when you come to get your SP" they said.
Turn at 9.30 on friday and tell them i pre-ordered an SP, they go get it and start tilling it up for 85 quid - "what about GBa trade-in?" I said.
"er, yeah, we'll give you 23 quid off now.
So what I thought was gonna be £50 turned out to be £62.
Bah!

But my SP was worth it, it is absolutely marvelous.

Yeah - have to say I was far from happy after running down the road with a GBA SP, giving the SR staff the bird and laughing - only to find that I had snatched an empty box - ugh !

Seriously though, I have my black SP and its happily sitting next to me right now. ;-)
Went to SR and bought the GBA - GC link cable too. ;-)

I went in Game yesterday and they had loads.

It's a good job they don't keep the things in the display boxes, because they were actually outside of the sensor.

There were loads in SR yesterday...

A whole shelf of them.

Loads of boxes so I'm guessing that they had the thing in.
