Well as we expected the GBA will cost about £100 but I am a bit shocked about the £40 games! I don't know what to think about that, I hope we see some price drops before the UK release date...but what are the chances of that! I am glad to see that all previous GBC games will work with the GBA well 99% of them anyway!
