in IGN my question was answered:
Will the Game Boy Advance released in Japan play US games, or vice-versa?
Yes. Like the Game Boy and Game Boy Color, there will not be any sort of territory lockout -- meaning, you'll be able to import a Japanese system and have the ability to play US-released games on it.
and
How much is the system going to cost?
The Game Boy Advance will debut in the US at $99.99 When the system is released in Japan, it will cost 9,800 yen (a little over US$83).
$83 thats like £57!! yes and its universal! yes and the three games I have chosen are Sonic Adventure Advance, Mario Advance and oh yes: Mario Kart Advance.
only three weeks to go!

keep trying!
I supposed i'll have to, i really want to get my hands on one though, they look amazing, shouldnt have said that really, not after contribuitng to the HYPE thread.
I really wouldn't import one from a website unless you are willing to spend over 150 for the GBA alone. see if you know any relatives from Japan or the US and take advantage.
Your right.
Im trying to find a web site at the moment that i can import one through. If anyone finds one can they let me know?
Is there actually a european release date set yet?
