I figured "good luck" but started searching Craigslist and found a listing that fit pretty well. It was for a GC console for $20. When I called she told me it was silver with a purple controller - no games. I told her that he wanted all silver, so she threw in one game and dropped it to $15. We decided to go check it out and when we got there he couldn't resist it, so we bought it. The game was True Crime New York, and there was also a platinum memory card. All for $15. Not bad.
Oh and one other thing. One of his friends has a black GC with a silver controller, so when we got home, they traded controllers! He took the purple GameStop controller and gave my son his Nintendo silver one so they are both happy!
