I'm not sure if this post belongs here or in Games, but..

My local Costco (Union, NJ) was selling a Game Boy Advance "Survival" kit for $19.99, all manufactured by Pelican (also sold under Interact brand individually). It was available in all colors.

Kit contains:

Wacky Pack ($9.99 retail)
Light Shield Advance ($9.99 retail)
Multi-Player Link Cable ($7.99 retail) - connects up to 4 other GBA & Game Cube, whenever that is released in the US
Power Grip Advance with NiMH Battery and AC Adapter (no idea retail price since I haven't found these separately)

Retail value is more than $30. I really needed the kit most for the Light Shield and the rechargeable battery... the other stuff was basically free...

good deal. the rechargable battery and the light are the 2 essential items for any GBA owners.

Just picked up the kit, good deal, although I wish the light was better, (I've never used any other light, so I wouldnt know anything better)

Actually a battery pack is worthless in my opinion. The GBA has a longer battery life than a GBC. I still haven't gone thru one pair of batteries yet on mine. And your right, that light is crappy.

the light is hard to remove and it drain your battery pretty fast.
