First, my own opinion : GBA looks cool, shapewise that is and I don\'t like the color purple.
Now Nintendo offers it\'s GBA in three color variations :
they name them Indigo, Arctic and Glacier.
Now take Indigo, that\'s not purple, it\'s deep blue with a little red in it that gives it a warm feeling. Still that\'s not
purple. Why does Nintendo call it Indigo ?
The Arctic GBA is white with the usual grey buttons. Okay. But if I were to choose I would change that matte white for shiny silver to give the \'Artic\' name the ambiance it deserves.
And then there\'s the Glacier GBA : transparant purple it is in fact. Now I\'ve been to Swiss and the Alpes many times and I have seen alot of real glaciers : they don\'t look like that. If Nintendo wants to have the color that way ok then, but don\'t call it glacier.
Glacier would be a lightblue transparant GBA that comes
closer to blue-green than blue-purple.
So in other words : You may have noticed I would like to have a GBA but I really don\'t like the color purple, nor a matte white GBA.
Now it appears that a limited Pokemon GBA edition has been made, hold on, don\'t judge it on the  word Pokemon... This one comes with a really cool metallic lightblue color.
Only a shame the GBA launches rather late here in Europe at a rather high price.

The indigo is OK (Apple could sue they stole their indigo name ;))
The white one I don\'t like.
And the transparent one is OK to.I wouldn\'t say it looks like a glacier,I have seen real glaciers(I\'m from Iceland you see we have alot of glaciers)They aren\'t transparent,you can go into a pretty deep crack.Then it looks blueish but never transparent,the ice needs to be pure for that.
But the names are just catchfrases.
