Got a Gameboy Advanced SP

[TigerMan]

Yesterday was my B-Day, so I asked for a Gameboy Advanced SP for one of my presents. It's pretty sweet. Picture is really good for a handhled system and it comes with a rechargeable battery. And it's really compact. Didn't know how my it would feel since it was so small, but it's actually a comfy hold. It's my first Gameboy since the very first one came out (the old fatty grey one). Real reason I wanted a Gameboy though was for the Zelda games, since there is 4 Zelda games available for the Gameboy. And I also wanted something to play with at school. Now I have entertainment for school!

is it the same graphics as GBA?

[FooTemps]

yeah, it has a backlight though... like the afterburner gba

[_Spork_1]

so you can play in the dark?!

oooooo, i might have to buy this, even though i've out grown video games........hhmmhmh 1 small one isn't bad for night

I got both the GBA Sp and have the regular GBA with the afterburner installed...

By all means the GBA SP is far more superior than the afterburner... It provides more light to the whole screen plus the afterburner one makes the first three lines on the top of the screen look really bad... if I can get a good pic of it I'll post it...

Spongebob beat me to the pics ( ), but here are mine.

Platinum goodness!

Gameplay pic w/backlite on (blurry but you get the idea). Also should be noted, the game is one originally made for the GB Color, so newer games graphics are a little better I believe.

And the last one with it open. I even got a free game with it too!

[personman]

blarg. waste of money.. why pay doube the price for a gameboy when all you get is a more compact shell, a backlight, and a battery?
Its really stupid IMO but whatever floats your boat
Happy birthday..

It's actually a lot better deal than the regular GB Advance personman. I don't have to buy a light for night-dark play, don't have to buy batteries, and it comes with an AC Adapter/charger. So I actually saved money by getting it as the other stuff I would have needed for the regular Advance would have added up to more. And it isn't double, it's $70 for the Advance, $100 for the SP, so $30 bleh!

[personman]

actually I believe GBAs go for around 50-60 online...
OK, you got a light
(9 bucks) rechargable batterys (lets say 4 bucks for two AAs)... well thats not really including the charger but still, you will never have the problem of not being able to play on road trips because you forgot to charge, because you can always stop by a gas station and grab a pack of AAs.. anyway, I dont like any of nintendos new stuff, I think its a bunch of crap GBA is kind of cool, but SP was a waste of time.. anyway Im not going to be buying any consoles for a while.. but when I do, its going to be xbox!!! yay for xboxness
