    Anyone got one of the super-rare prototype GBA's?
    I know there were only about 50 made, 10 of each button colour.

    For those of you that dont know about them, they we the same as the GBA's at launch, but were silver metal (like the Gameboy Pocket) and had coloured buttons (iMac Style)

    I remember playing an early build of Mario Kart, on one with orange buttons at ECTS 2000.

    Id love to get my hands on one!
    Anyone even got any pics?

    Adam-James :eek:)

    Aha! It was time to leave, there were guys going around pushing everyone out, and the girls on the GBA stand were urging us to play still!!! ECTS2K was cool, after that it went WAAY downhill. This years sucked.

    ECTS

    I don't think last year was as bad as the one before, at least we got some exclusive MGS3 footage, and HL2 was there... and Nintendo returned with that bus thing and the mario kart stuff outside.

    ...so... anyone seen one of these things outside a trade show?
