is the futureshop pearl the same as the one that was released in japan with ffta?
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all. Nothing's like before

Probably. The model is listed as Pearl (White) on the back of box. Obviously it would have different sticker label on it though since North American GBA's have a different label on the unit.

That green&orange combo looks very much like the Shrek edition ToyRus are selling. Also did anyone see that Tibral edition?(not sure about the name.....is it for a game or something?) Kinda ugly with the symbol.. :)

The Tribal edition? It's not for a game, it's just a tribal design, modelled after polynesian ( AFAIK ) tribal tattoos.

I see.......kinda weird of them doing that I thought since most of the time it's either used to promote certain games or store exclusive. That is just.....wft?! :) (is it suppose to be cool or something? kinda lame I thought.) They might as well release flag GBA all over the world instead.

There are a number of "Limited Edition" store exclusives in Canada at the moment... the one's I've seen over the last week:

Future Shop = White
Zellers = Pink
Walmart = Baby Blue
Toys R Us = Orange/Green (Shrek)
EB = Tattoo edition Platinum

I guess they're trying to saturate the market before the DS comes out (in a few weeks).

Thanks, looks like you're right. The Lime/Orange seems to be a TRU exclusive. Which store did you see it at? My local stores don't have it and say they've never heard of it.

Also it's Best Buy that has the Surf Blue one, and that Walmart is suppose to get the Who Are You? edition. At least according to IGN. Maybe it's US only cuz I called around and they don't have it either.

Maybe ToyRus hasn't started selling those yet?(starts this weekend maybe like last time they had those gold GBA bundle.) As for the Tibral version, I don't think it's EB only. Probably alot of other places gonna have them since I recall seeing it from a superstore flyer.....

Are you sure??? IGN says it's EBGames exclusive, plus when I was at the store wanting to return one the guy says it's an EBGames exclusive too. (We don't have superstore here in GTA that I know of, only Loblaws)

I'm pretty sure I saw it from superstore's flyer since I never seen EB flyers with local newspaper and hardly go to EB at all.

OMG you were right. I was looking at the Walmart flyer and saw the new Lagoon (light blue) GBA SP!! My eyes nearly popped out. I have really no idea why the stores I called said they didn't have any limited editions ... unless it's not in stock yet.

The ugly "Shrek" GBA SP at Toys-R-Us was something we had to ask about. It was not for sale yet, but the sales guy went into the back room and cracked open a case to show us. My guess is it's going to appear alongside the new Shrek 2 DVD today.

Picked up the new Lime/Orange GBA SP at Toys R Us today! It's called the "Swamp Version" :cheesygri

Now all I need is the Walmart Lagoon Blue version. If only I knew when it will be released. The sales associates all have no clue > :( Unless another store has yet another limited edition GBA SP that we haven't mentioned yet :D
