Darn this is a tough decision I have to make. You see, I currently have a pathetic 90$, little chance of getting a job, and depending on how lazy I am I can get between 3-5 dollars a week for allowance.
If I wanted a flu, it'd take me 22 weeks! And that doesn't include a game or anything. That's a few weeks after my birthday, so i might as well ask for one then.
But, the non flu isn't looking much better. Its 150 bucks after all, that's 12 weeks and man I sure as heck dont' think i could wait that long.
But the gp32 is soo shiny and cool!!!
So I decided, maybe ebay will save me, and it has offered hope. A reliable seller is selling one for 31 pounds at this moment, which is like 60 bucks. It has 5 days left, but it'd probably go up to around 120$ I'm thinking. Its comes with a flash card btw. There's a slight chance my parents might lend me the money (the gp32 should be worth having no money for 2 months! And whats 30 bucks to them?), so I was wondering: if its reasonably priced, would it be worth getting? I'd really like to be able to play in the dark, but I coudl deal with it, especially if their is a reasonable external light source so on long trips I'd be fine.
So to sum it up:
1. prospects of getting a flu gp32 within the next 6 months = nada
2. prospects for non flu not looking much better
3. but a used one on ebay might work out if the other bidders aren't too agressive, but only if
a. its really ok to get a used non flu
and b. there is a decent external light source (for trips).
Your thoughts?
