What's the source on this? Just EBgames and Gamestop? It's probably some mistake, or maybe they're only accepting pre-orders on Jet Black because that's what they're getting first.. I'll wait until an indigo purple one comes out.. or there's some deal somewhere, whichever comes first..
But then again, the GBA SP is only/at first coming out in platinum and cobalt blue, not purple or Jet Black. Oh, wait, wasn't there just news that a Jet black SP WOULD be coming to the states? (Well, a rumor from a cat, anyway...)
What if, by some strange move by Nintendo, the GB Player and its boot disc are region free? Could we then conceivably use the disc to play software from other regions? Or would it be made to work only if it finds a gb player and send you right into the gb game? It'll never happen, of course, but that would be neat..
