Ok i know Nintendo want to make some money and that but why is it that the price of the GBA fluctuates all across the world?
I think that £70 for a hand held games console is a rip off! Come on if we fork out an extra £60 then we can have the second most powerful games console out, a lovely Gamecube!
I bought a GB Colour when they first came out for about £30 abroad! more than half the price it is in the UK. Yeah if it goes wrong, which it most likely wont, we have to send it to Nintendo Fix Shop in the UK which means a few weeks without some game playing but it dosent really matter!
Why are countries like the UK, USA, Australia etc being conned out of money that will pay for games and other countries get to pay a heck of a lot less than the R.R.P? Also £30 for a GBA game? I can buy a new PC game for that proce which has loads bigger levels, better graphics etc! Mayb a price of £20 would be better!
Finally WHY BRING OUT A NEW COLOUR like Platinum ages after the GBA has been released, most people ahve a GBA and wont have the need to buy another one!

I think that £70 is a fairly decent price to pay for a GBA, mine cost £90 back on release day so people should be pleased.
but
I agree that the GBA games are far too expensive and this has put me off at times when another tenner can buy you a GC game!
I think that the GBA games should be £25 at most, (as the old GB games used to be) instead of £35 in some cases.
And in regards to the colour bringing out more colour's may intise more people to buy a GBA. In some cases many people trad in there old GBA for a new colour (like many did for the black GBA)!
