Okay. Well I traded in several games the other day expecting to get the GC Broad Band Adapter. When I didn't see it on the shelves I asked the man at the desk and he said, "They've discontinued them."

I might have been able to use my first free month this month since im not planning on going on vacation till late June.

Now I half to order it from Nintendo, then wait till October to play, because im not wasting my month on July and August when I won't be here.

Only place in the world to buy it now is Nintendo.

Though it is the reason I pre-ordered Soul Calibur 2.

Did you try eBay? You might have to pay more there, though. =/

I looked and looked for my BBA: best buy, nintendo.com, circuit city, everywhere. Until i looked at the last i thought would have one, Walmart, the one place where you can find anything you need. They had two of them sitting right in front of me. So i don't think they discontinued them, they just don't ship them as much.

So if all else fails, check the almighty Walmart.

Think they lied to you...cause, when the BBA first was released, they still didnt make it in stores. Just the DUA(dail up). Stores are kinda priss picky with NEEDED products.

I'm pretty sure everyone had to order it from nintendo.

If you want to find a BBA or stuff like that, go to Gamestop. That's where I got mine. If you don't find it in the store, try gamestop.com.

o_o I got mine when they launched, which was a week before PSO came out. My Gamestop only got 2 and I got the last one hanging on the shelf. But yeah, as someone else pointed out, you might be able to find one at Gamestop or Wal-mart, which is where I always see 'em around here.
