Occured to me why the GBA carts are being discontinued. The DSI and the new 3DS around the corner, there is no support for the GBA carts.
A shame, the GBA SP can fit in my front pants pocket unlike the current crop of portables. I discovered an interesting article on some unique peripherals that utilized the GBA slot for DSI games. Things like a Rumble Pack, Pedometer, Paddle Controller and even a form of an E-Reader. Collector items due to the limited run. Not to mention the GBA carts themselves, a future hard to find item?

Where's noise !
Strange that the PS2 games are still being sold, perhaps because of so many? I hope this continues, only a matter of time. So which gets the cut next, Gamecube or PS2?
In my hunt of GBA, Gamecube and PS2 games, I returned to the Gamestop that is very adamant in Corporate policy. This store has tossed out a ton of cases and manuals. The sad part, look at all the crappy music and sports titles still in the cases in the pic below. At least they cleaned up the dog pile in the basket, the discs are all squished in the holding tray vertically. Luckily I know of a few Gamestops in my area where the employees actually are purposely keeping the games intact with the cases on the shelf. They know a game is better complete and easier to locate with a case.
Who is going to dig through this crap! A corporate rep should try to find a game.
