super deluxe: cooler than the calendar

October 27, 2003

cooler than the calendar

So, remember that super-limited Famicom 20th Anniversary Game Boy Advance SP I mentioned a few months back? The one that they were only making a few thousand of, for contest giveaways and such?

...Look what just showed up at my door a few minutes ago:

And a scan of the package (from top to bottom: front, back, side):

It must've been fate that one of the biggest Famicom dorks in the world got to win one of these. That, or someone upstairs is pullin' some strings for me. :)

Great John... You get all of this club nintendo stuff and we get existantial high brow advertising that even further alienates nintendo from the public... That seems fair :)

I'll buy your old GBASP for a scratched Arctic GBA and 14 yen.

Then again, this is to assume you'll actually USE the Famicom one. HaHAH!

John, if anyone deserves that, it's you.

It's one of your other 4 you should give to me.

YOUR so lucky! I have one too, but it's the one thats not as rare as yours. This one dosen't have the gold finish on the control pad, I don't think there avalible in stores, but there is limenent quality of them on the internet. Anyway if you ever think about selling that fabulouse prize(drool);), you can always contact me!

Did you win the contest to get this Famicom GBA? I got one but it is made it China. I don't know why. Is yours made in Japan? Is yours 1 of the 1000 of them give away from the contest? How come it is different from the picture in the URL I provide here? I am confused.
