I've been thinking of buying one ever since I saw it on Best Buy two days ago. I wonder if I should, $85 is not too bad. Anybody bought one? If so let me know what you think.

Sorry for the dumb question, but what a GBA?

GameBoy Advanced ?? If thats what GBA stands for, dont waste your cash, save it for something better. I had a go of one today and, uhm, I think playing a handheld tetris game that costs $5 was more fun and rewarding. Dont waste your cash.

Well, I'll get alot of flames for this post, but...

Don't bother..there are already several emulators out doing a marvelous job of emulating the GBA.

Of course, you can download the roms on any good IRC chan/fserve or FTP if you're relatively savvy http://www.pcgamers.net/ubb/smile.gif

I do however believe the GBA is a wonderful piece of hardware worthy of purchase ..

It all comes down to this :

If you aren't going to travel much, get an emulator and the roms..

If you have a laptop, get the emulator and roms.. lord knows you can do much more on a laptop than with simply the GBA.

If you have no laptop and intend on travelling, well, buy one http://www.pcgamers.net/ubb/wink.gif

if you spend alot of time not in front of your computer and tv then buy one , those new zelda games must be good , of what i've heard

I'm not one who travels too much. And when I do I'm usually reading a WWII book. But if I do want to play a little game all I need is a simple Game Boy Color...maybe in the future I'll get a GBA...you know..for kicks.
