@ Avigrace: Would a GBA-SP + 3 games be pushing it?

I buy all my USA Gamecube games from them. They are literally amazing. They mark everything as a gift - so, combined with the free worldwide shipping, the price you see, is the price you pay.
I have ordered multiple games (5 being the most at one time)from them at the same time, they always package them individually in brown, padded paper envelopes.
However, I did not buy my Gamecube from them. Combined with the fact I wanted a modded USA/Jap cube, I also didnt want to pay the shipping - they charge shipping on consoles. Saying this though, I do believe that I once read that gameboys etc were free shipping (dont hold me to that though).
I'd go for it if I was you. Maybe you should search around for a cheap GBASP over here, in the UK, and just get the games dirt cheap from them, I dont know.
The only complaint with them is 'time'. from your order being placed, it usually takes 1-2 weeks (to the day, either 1 week or 2), for the order to be sent - it then takes exactly 1 week to reach the UK. You could always pay for the DHL shipping - but then that defeats the purpose. I ordered Resident Evil with DHL shipping (I was desperate) from them, got it the day after release in USA. Also got a free Resident Evil T-Shirt for winning their competition. Got stung with import tax on that though, luckily it was a few games for friends inside the box, so we could split the cost.
OMG, I'm writing an essay here....must stop.....now...gotta to ..g..o...(thud)

Bummer about the 2 - 3 week wait i was gonna get an SP as an impulse buy as my bank statement came today and i was pleasently suprised and theres fudge all out for Xbox worth buying (that i dont have) and the Mrs has captured my GC so i dont get it long enough to play Zelda. And with Advance Wars 2, Mega Man BattleNetwork 3, Golden Sun 2 out it seemed time i gave the GBA another chance (My origonal pink ones gathering dust on the shelf).
Dang i want somthing cool to buy :angry: may just get an SP form town tomorrow

Maybe I'm just insane, but why would you pay $90 (or the british equivilent) on a GBA SP when you already have a GBA? Is the backlight really worth that much money AND dealing with the uncomfortable control configuration?
I understand having extra money that you just want to spend on something. It's never actually happened to me, but I understand the concept Why not spend the money on more games instead of a redundant console?
