    Where to buy Gameboy SP?

    With Final Fantasy CC underway I figured I should get a SP now (already got a GBA).
    Where do you guys suggest that I should get it?
    Ebay?
    American online store?
    Hong Kong online store?

    So far I have the idea one of the Hong Kong online stores would be the cheapest method.
    What do you think>

    I definitely like the looks of the Famicom SP that just came out, Lik Sang has a whole page about its release and some pack shots in addition here:

    I've ordered a lot of times from them in the past and was always completely satisfied with their service. What I particularly love about Lik Sang is that they ship via Global Priority which is cheap ($10 for the SP, I checked) and I never had to pay customs with this shipping option.

    When I recall ordering from Tronix, The Rage and NCS I shiver with horror at what I paid for shipment and customs fees receiving my stuff from these US dealers (though some marked the parcels down, but still...).

      Dont you have any local stores with them? Or are you after one of the Famicom ones or something?

        I'd definitely think about the Famicom SP from PlayAsia etc. Seeing as they've now announced you can order it from them in Asian flavour, which basically means a 220V charger instead of 110V.
        Lie with passion and be forever damned...

          eh? Just buy a second hand one from GAME or ebay or something. They were selling them new for ?30 online the other day - unlucky you missed that.

            They're $100 plus $12 postage from Tronix. In addition to that you'll need a UK PSU which GAME sell for ?7. All in all that's roughly ?65. Buy some games at the same time and you'll probably save even more.

                    I had 1 big order from Lik-Sang from over $100 which got intercepted by customs. They didn't mark it down (I forgot to ask also). That was with Global Priority, so you're not always safe!

                    Of course we have Gameboy SP's in stores here, but I'm sure I can get it cheaper than 135 euro

                    @007: any suggestions? Perhaps you could take my SNES and N64 to Saurian :P

                      Well, I could pick them up in Nethrlands. Then post them from the UK. If that's going to be cheaper. Unfortunately I dont live in London where Saur does.

                        Heheh, it's ok. Thanks for the offer anyway
                        Is that a Kodama in your avatar?
                        And you're not happen to visit a mate of mine are you? (he's got some British friends, mostly from Ultima Online I think...)
