GBA SP Second Reserve Opp.

[bahn]

Earlier today I received a transmission from corporate that Gamestop has released a second opportunity for everyone that has not already bothered to reseved a GBA SP during the week of the 24th. This will be for the second shipment (Nintendo is apparently shipping in very limited quantities).

On a unrelated note, Winning 11 will now be carried by Gamestop as well. After stores began expressing feedback for the demand, corporate asked Konami to accomodate them with units in an expedious manner. So it should be in stores later this week (possibly tomorrow or Saturday...)

Just a heads up.

Yay for procrastinators like me! Too bad I won't have the funs until Summer for one. (spare funds, anyway).

Also, it's funny, Winning Eleven never grew on me.

[Doug Branches]

so if I reserve it this time when will I be able to go pick it up in stores

[bahn]

You'll be able to pick one up from the second batch. Not the first batch that's scheduled to ship on the 23rd (or earlier if other competing stores break "street date")

Well, that's good and all, and I'd take advantage of it if I wanted the platinum or blue, but I want black... so until NOA quits being stupid, mine shall be imported.

[EvilMog]

or you COULD just walk into a Toys R Us on the 24th and get one.


seriously, its in our ad this Sunday saying we'll have them the 24th. We also usually get raped with so much Nintendo product it would make a Super Walmart cry. No presells going on there either. So if you really want one right away I would say get in line for opening on Monday the 24th.

I hate lines. good thing TRU is right next to me too! I've already told my co-worker that I got dibs on a plat.

[EvilMog]

we have a platinum SP display model. Oh so nice. I think I may end up buying it right away after all.... grrrrr why couldnt I have hated the layout?

[bahn]

we have a cobalt model. I hate it. I want to throw it across the store!

[EvilMog]

the worst thing was opening the goodie package from nintendo with SP shirts and shit then seeing a closed SP inside, open it up and SHIT!.. it doesnt work. Bastards! What kind of cruel joke is sending out non working SPs with no guts?
