The WalMart sale for the GBA SP is NOT for the brighter screened GBA SPs. Just the 4 original colors (platinum, onyx, red, blue) with the original front-lit screen.

YEAH!!!!
Nintendofreak - 11.23.05 12:40 pm
I honestly doubt whomever rings you up at Walmart would even notice or care the backlit vs frontlit screen. If you complained about it, they’d likely just give it to you. It’s too damn busy that day for most stores to care.
Thanks for this list. Too bad Gamespot seems to mostly be advertising normal prices… lol
Tony - 11.23.05 12:46 pm
Im glad I didnt buy Mario Kart Ds yet
Nintendofreak - 11.23.05 1:02 pm
This one from Kmart:
Gameboy Advance SP w/ Metroid Zero Mission and Spyro Orange - $79.99
I think is only available on Thanksgiving day…for whatever reason. So, if you get bored after the turkey…there ya go.
DUKobE8 - 11.23.05 1:15 pm
uhhh… a lot of those are the regular prices…
beft - 11.23.05 1:16 pm
Why is it called black friday???
Jacomar - 11.23.05 1:18 pm
Yeah, some of them are…that’s what stores do…they’ll put them on “sale”, but it’s up to the consumer top actually pick the good deals out..I’m just reporting all the “sales”
DUKobE8 - 11.23.05 1:22 pm
Black Friday, Jacomar, is the day right after Thanksgiving. Since many, many people have that day off of work/school, they decide to do Christmas shopping. SOOOOOO many people do this it’s a retail nightmare. Just about anywhere you can buy things is packed. It’s a madhouse, really.
If you want to see it for yourself, just try going to any given Walmart.

Jacomar:
“Black Friday” is a financial reference; it’s the day when most businesses move into the “black”, or profitable, region for the year on their charts. This, as opposed to the “red”, or not-so-profitable.
Of course if you’ve ever worked a while in retail (*raises hand*) you may have different ideas for where the “black” comes from
. It’s not a fun day to be behind the counter.
OnWarmerMusic - 11.23.05 1:27 pm
Beat me to the punch there, Deemer
. I was so close.
OnWarmerMusic - 11.23.05 1:43 pm
you know, tomorrow is thanksgiving, and the day AFTER tomorrow is black friday.
niv - 11.23.05 1:54 pm
Thanks yall , im not from the US so i did not know
Jacomar - 11.23.05 2:27 pm
Thankfully, (how appropriate) I will not be working Black Friday this year!
But to be honest, it seems as if the Black Friday shopping spree has been building over the past week. Perhaps it’s been because of the 360, but my GameStop has been packed recently, usually with a bunch of irate customers who think they’re too good to wait on a line like everyone else. So they complain and berate the poor cashier (usually me) because they’re in a pissy mood.
Just venting.

Kinda like Boxing Day for Canada, I’m guessing. >____>
W/e, at times like these, I wish I was living in Michigan again. *sighs*
Shiro - 11.23.05 5:14 pm
I personally think 1080 Avalanched is overpriced. I mean, I paid free for it and I think that is a bit overpriced.
Jonathan - 11.23.05 5:23 pm
^ How is it overpriced ?
I bought the game on release, it’s a great game !
Nicol@s - 11.23.05 5:36 pm
Really? I have a deep hatred for it. Well, not deep, it just seems to suck badly. Being paid to play it would be more in my price range.
Well, for any game, that would be the perfect price range.
Jonathan - 11.23.05 5:38 pm
It’s a simple game, and definately not for everyone, but it’s a solid game.
BigJKO - 11.23.05 8:17 pm
Dude, I loved 1080 Snowboarding for the N64.. it was awesome. I guess the GC version is okay.
Henry - 11.23.05 8:36 pm
yes! Dora and Barbie are MINE!
fizban - 11.23.05 8:36 pm

Invader Bugs - 11.23.05 9:00 pm
Man, I wish I was in the states. 1080 and that $50 SP would be mine…
Rumas - 11.23.05 10:10 pm
I just bought MK today before I read this
master shake - 11.23.05 11:02 pm
None of those look like deals attractive enough to draw me to face the outrageous traffic and New York City-esque crowds.
BreakfastPills - 11.24.05 10:40 am
“Im glad I didnt buy Mario Kart Ds yet ”
I am glad I did. I hate fighting the insane crowds.
sdsichero - 11.25.05 2:54 pm
Stopped by Target on the way to work this morning. 8am, two copies of MKDS left. I got mine. Also got Phoenix Wright for $20 (used) at EB. They’re having a buy 2 get 1 free sale for used games, but there was nothing else I wanted.
