New GBA SP at EB

I was browsing EBgames today and happened upon this listing, for whose release I have seen no mention of anywhere:

Platinum Tattoo GBA SP:

What's odd is that the date is tomorrow, 9/21. Talk about coming out of nowhere. I believe this was released in another country earlier in the year, maybe this is overstock? And it looks like only EB is carrying it, I didn't come up with it on Gamestop or Amazon.

It's pretty cool, something different from the standard monochromatic SPs. Would have been much cooler if it used a different base color than the standard platinum, like white.

Cool looking, but I still want my DS. :)

I think it's pretty ugly. Just looks like someone took those tattoos you get out of a vending machine and stuck em on there.

Yeah, the ones on the inside do look rather slapped-on.

Here's another, one for Europe that'll be bundled with Zelda: the Minish Cap.

I think that first one is the tribal GBA that was released in Europe a while ago.

Plus there's this thing

Gee I wonder why NOA is pushing all of these models out the door now.

That "Who are you?" one is pretty average, its still somehow better then the Onyx GBA, but I'll stick with a plain Platinum one.

All I see is a whoAre GBA. Whore with a NY accent, you whoAre!

If my GBA came home with tattoos, I'd do the same thing I would to a kid who did it: Get out the power sander.

The only alternate GBA I've seen that I'd want to own was the NES version, and due to the DS coming out some time soonish I passed on it. The blue one I've got right now is the perfect color for it as far as I'm concerned, nice and professional looking without being the generic silver/black.
