Same as the other ones, $69.95 (at Gamestop, yeah I don't like 'em either but they had it in stock, no one else did).

I was gonna get a new GBA anyways, I can't wait for Pinball of The Dead, and I saw they had them in stock and I couldn't pass it up.

Picked up a copy of SSFIITR while I was at it, normally I only get the Japanese version because the mixed up character names bothers the hell out of me, but I told myself to get off my high horse and buy the stupid game.

Incidentally it's really cool, a great throwback.

Just to let ya know Blaine, in this case it was a bad idea to get the US version.

Capcom USA managed to put a whole slew of bugs in that wonderful little game, the first of which I found my first night playing it.

Win all your battles w/o having to continue, and once you defeat Sagat, you would normally fight Akuma. No sir.

You instead will see a blurred pic of Akuma and the GBA will freeze on this screen. This bug leads to several other problems w/ score keeping and records you have set.

Sucks that the game has those stupid bugs... they're a list of all the bugs over on gamefaqs if you care to check it out.

Regardless, a great and very fun port. I still recommend it, although I'm happy I waited to pay $19.99 for it and not that insane initial asking of $39.99.

Nintendo gave out Gold GBAs along with the Platinum ones at E3.
