Nintendo Announces GBA Sales Milestone

Thanks to TotalVideoGames.com for their article highlighting Nintendo's announcement that there have been 15 million GameBoy Advances sold in the U.S., at a rate of "...more than one unit sold every six seconds since the introduction of the Game Boy Advance in June, 2001." Nintendo also officially announced two new colors for the GBA SP, Flame (red) and Onyx (black), and even lay out their reasoning for those picks: "Color psychologists believe that certain hues generate specific, and often very strong responses in people. For example, black can foster strength and encourage independence, while red empowers and can stimulate the mind." Feel empowered yet?

My old game boy was white. White is for purity, chastity....oh crap.

Work Order

I put in the Work Order to my wife for a the GBA SP several times, but it has been rejected over and over again. Maybe I can pick up a used one somewhere.
Sightly OT, I'm planning on picking up the new Konami Arcade hits pretty soon. I do wish they included Contra and Life Force from the NES, too.

Strange. Red always makes me skeptical of the pseudoscientific claims of "color psychologists". :P

I've always assumed that the delight I got from splattering blood all over the place was due to some primal rage. Now I know that it's because it makes me smarter.
