Shiggy-signed Gameboy Advance SP photo

It seems that most of us have moved on from the Gameboy Advance SP by now. I think it was a high point in Nintendo's portable gaming history, and it had the most amazing battery life. But we've moved on since then, right? Even if your DS has been getting all the attention lately, here's one SP that will definitely catch any Nintendo fan's attention.

This Limited Edition Zelda Gameboy Advance SP is already quite lovely, but it has been signed by Shigeru Miyamoto, which makes it just as valuable as the Triforce in a Nintendo fan's eyes. The auction page says that it is one of the 30 signed at the grand opening of the Nintendo World Store in New York City. 

Right now the eBay auction sits at $500 with no bids. If you can justify about $450 extra for a legend's signature, then go for it. Just be sure to hold it over your head and hum the Legend of Zelda's "item found" music if you do win.

Think about it kids -- the chances of you outliving Shiggy are pretty high. When he hits that wheelchair you'll hear gold coins in your scrotums! What?

Is that a face at the end or an infinity symbol mixed with a cross? I wish I could devise a cool signature, I can barely write in cursive.

That's a fancy way to write "OTO". I wish my name were that malleable.

Fuck that. I'm going back three generations. All the way back to Game Boy Color. I ordered myself one last weekend.

Oh man, I want it, but I don't $500 want it. But then, like Niero said, in ten years it'll be worth way more than that...

Shit. I should not have read this. Now I might have the urge to sell mine at some point in my life. NO! NEVER! I WILL NEVER SELL YOU AUTOGRAPHED DS!

That is more or less the truth. I think I would rather eat my arm than sell my Shiggy signed DS...

I still love my SP. I need to find one of the newer models that have real backlighting a la DS Lite, though.

You know I've owned an original Game Boy, a Game Boy Pocket and a Game Boy Colour but I've never owned any form of the Game Boy Advance. I wonder why.

It sounds like a great collector's/novelty item, but I don't have the money :(.
