Nintendo announces new GBA model

[Alzrius]

I still anticipate getting one of these sexy beasts.

Sexy indeed! Its times like this Im so happy to be in Japan, since I'll be able to buy the GBA SP about a month earlier than it could be bought in America, in colors that won't be available there either. And since all Game Boy's are regionless, and there is no programming difference between the Japanese and American versions, there's no reason not to snag one as soon as they hit the shelves!

Anyone know the current projected release date for the Halo kit?

As far as I know, the Halo Light kits were released a little over a week ago; 1/13. See here for where I got that information: http://gameboy.gamezone.com/gamesell/p21400_GBA.htm
