    Would liek to get my hands on a GBA title or two, specifically Mario. is there anywhere in Dublin apart from Gamesexchange n Talbot street that might have something? or is ebay the only place I'm realistically going to find anything?

    I of course realise that some people may not want to give away some Secret tresure trove!

    Gamestop in Santry have an excellent selection of unboxed titles, and if you buy one you get another free! And the one you buy is only 2 euro!!

    2 euro for 2 games? Jesus I'll buy them all and sell the ones I dont want for profit on Adverts.

    ???

    They have GBA Advances going for 5.99, and should have a couple of Sp's floating around as well.

    Give them a call first, 8620889, just to make sure.
    They do have, or at least had, an excellent selection.
    They may have more in a big box in the store room as well, so good luck everyone

    I picked up my pink GBA there on wednesday. They had SP's (in diff colours, dont know if they came with chargers) for €5.99. GBA's in diff colours also €5.99 and i seen 2 GBC's there for €7.99 (or €8.99, i cant remember) they had pleny of GBA's & SP's when i was there. I dont know about condition, as they're all in plastic bags behind the counter, but the one I got was in excellent condition, hardly a mark on it. The only thing it didnt have was a battery cover, there was a rechargeable battery pack in it instead

    This was in Henry St. btw

    The thing to check is the GBA Advances, some of the battery covers are indeed missing and some of the screens are scratched, so have a root about to get the best one.
    Now, a shop with a Zodiac Tapwave and a Gizmondo would be great!
