gameboy games

[sam2112]

Were going out on 2nd Dec and would like your advise,
our 4 boys are taking there gameboys with them for the journey, they are all after new games and wondered if anyone knew if we can get them duty free either Glasgow or Gatwick, i know the price is better in Florida but they have been saving birthday money to get them before we go,
I'll probably get stung by them over there for more but hey there worth it [angel][angel][angel][}][thats the wee one]
thanks for any info

we saw them there at gatwick airport when we went in 02 ( i know things may have changed) we had just bought my youngest the game boy that was popular then and when we came back the game boy advance was out and now we cant get games for the earlier one, but the games were cheaper at gatwick

I just got hold of a few games quite cheaply on ebay, keeping them in reserve for when the novelty factor of a 9 hour flight wears a bit thin!

Game boys are great for the flight,particularly with a new game.

Have a great time,you have chosen a great time to go;all the Christmas extras and no crowds.Usually the best weather for us Brits as well.

We cannot go at that time for business reasons,but otherwise it would be my first choice.

Yes, there is one at Gatwick and they had Game Boys (and games presumably) when we were there in August.

They do sell them at Gatwick but you would do better to buy preowned ones from somewhere like Game to keep them amused on the flight and then buy the latest games in Florida. This is what we do for our son, who has his eye on the new game boy that has come out this month in the US.[msnsmile2]

i just had a nose in ebay and found many many new games all reasonably priced have put them on my watch list, will be getting a few of them for the flights
so thanx for that Kiddie001...

Be careful if you have the Gameboy SP with built in battery.
The UK charger does not work in the US so once it runs out that's it until you return to the UK.

You could invest in a US charger when you are over there to solve this problem.

If it's the older Gameboy or Gameboy Advance Mark 1 then they take normal AA batteries.
