Curious about the supposed 24-Carat Gold Zelda GBA SP...

[Cosmic_Link]

Hi! ^o^

I was just wondering what you guy's thought of the 24-Carat Gold GBA SP which Nintendo supposedly gave to a few lucky people way back when the Zelda GBA SP came out. I know it's quite a random thing to bring up so long after it came out, but I just happened to remember this "competition" when I spotted my GBA SP whilst cleaning... lol Anyway, I'm having a really hard time finding any info about this particular console... I can't even find any actual photos of the console in question or anybody that claims to have one. lol Here was the advertisement for the competition when it was on...




So, I wonder if this actually even existed? Could it have just been a big plan to push sales of the console more? (Like they needed to!) Just wondering if anybody here has seen or heard more info about it in the past 7 years. lol

Thanks for looking and I hope I posted this in the right place...

All the tickets are probably still lying around in the sealed boxes

Possibly! lol I can't remember whether the Zelda SP's were sealed from retail. Would be nice to think that these possibly haven't been claimed yet!

Someone at Nintendo probably took it home if that was the case

I've never heard anybody claim they have one of these but I have seen pictures of gold plated GBAs. The pictures I've seen might have been taken of an unofficial product, considering the rarity of the real thing.
