GBA on it's way!

I'm ordering a GBA with the afterburner mod already installed, as well as a flash cartridge so that I can play any GB or GBA game ever made, along with NES, SNES, and Game Gear games.

This is the skin I just ordered last night for it.

This should bring hours and hours of fun!

How much did it set you back?

Was it a comparable price to the SP?

Good Job, I much prefer the look of the original GBA to the SP model.

Brand new GBA with After-burner: $99
Flash Card: $78
Protective case and radio addon (which I heard is really good): $8 each
Rechargeable battery pack: about $25

Total will be around $300 with shipping and customs (it's shipped from Hong Kong) so $300 for a portable version of almost every game before the N64.

Good deal in my eyes.

It may seem like alot, but remember, I never have to buy a cartridge for it.

Seems like a decent deal to me I guess...
Personally I would have gone for the SP, but thats just because I like the fold up option better myself. I think you should have gotten then PA skin for the GBA though :P

I was going to, but all of the GBA PA skins pale in comparison. This one for the SP is pretty good though.

And hence I would have gotten an SP instead

That would go against my refusal to buy any nintendo product....

That and I dont have that kind of money. I'd rather get the PSP when it comes out than a GBA, SP or no.
