So, off I went to town this morning, in search of a GBA! Started in Game...GBA £70, Fusion £35...not impressed. Went next door to Dixons...GBA £70, Fusion £30...getting better. Finally, I shuffled (I've transformed into a penguin over the last few months) over to WHSmith (of all places) and was rather pleased to see a price tag of £60 for the GBA and £30 for Fusion.
Naturally, I lapped it up immediately right? Ummm, well...no, actually. Cash reserves are at an all-time high at the mo, but that doesn't mean I should spend it. £90 is still a fair bit of wonga, no matter what you're getting for it, and I'm just wondering if my savoured GBA would be coated in dust three months down the line.
Is it really worth it? Are all those wonderful games REALLY that great or merely software I was playing a decade ago on a considerably larger box? To buy or not to buy...oh, and the agony!

Buy 'eternal' games like Steven Gerard's Total Soccer, or cheap ones like Kuru Kuru Kururin
Either that, or wait for the GBA cube add - on.
They might be good.
