 Amazing Console, Excellent Upgrade from GBA October 7, 2004

I have owned GameBoy portables since they came out in the 1980s. Never have I enjoyed Nintendo's handheld technology more than with this product.
Taking the best parts of the GameBoy Advance (large color screen, access to an excellent game library), Nintendo has improved upon its original model by adding several great features. The features I enjoy most include:
* Backlight --> you can play your GBA SP in dim rooms, on the move (when you don't have access to extra light), heck, you can play it IN THE DARK! This is an amazing improvement. I'm sure that the third party market that has made a mint off lights for the GameBoy and original GameBoy Advance systems are very mad, but this internal light is even better than any of the numerous add-ons I've bought over the years.
* Rechargeable-battery (with adapter) --> you can now charge the internal battery by plugging it into the wall (or by buying a separate car charger). The battery lasts anywhere from 6 - 10 hours (depending on whether you use the backlight or not).
* Flip-top screen --> this smaller, sleeker design also serves to protect the screen from getting scratched
All told, these additions are amazing, and saved me at least $25 (now that I don't have to buy all those add-ons from another company).
I really enjoy my GameBoy Advance SP, and play all of the great new GBA games as well as my old black and white GameBoy favorites on it.

If you are a Game Boy collector and freak like myself and own all the classic games up to the Advance then you must get this new system. They finally fixed the screen colors as if you were watching a mini TV. The colors are rich and clear as ever. I have the older SP and put them side by side and turned them on at the same time and the difference is remarkable. You can't turn this new and improved system down. You finally have a Game Boy that plays all the original games with great color. Every game I put in there looked so much better. You definatley won't be dissapointed.
 Game Boy Advance SP January 31, 2004

I just received the Game Boy Advance SP (Flame colored) today for my birthday. I must say this is by far the best pocket Game Boy Nintendo has come up with. I have owned all of the other models (the original thick generic colored gray one they had in the early 90s, and the Game Boy Colored). The original one was okay but the screen and picture was awful black and white. Then when they came out with the Game Boy Color.. awesome colored screen and colored consoles. But the screen was hard to see.. and no a/c power cord came with it. You had to buy your own batteries. Then when the Game Boy Advance SP came out.. I just had to have one. The photos of the GBA SP model is deceiving.. it looks big, but when I opened up the box and inside was this tiny wallet sized (and I mean wallet sized) GBA model, I thought.. wow Nintendo really was listening to their customers. It's very lightweight and can easily fit in your jeans pocket, purse or jacket. But be careful if you have wee little ones around, they may want to get a hold of it and think it's just one of their toys and will damage it. I have yet to play with this before I let my daughter play with it. The game folds like a laptop. There is a backlight button to turn it on or off (A definite plus!). You can control the sound and it has a Left and Right buttons on the back for extra game playing as you're holding it. I just discovered that you can use these buttons for the Sponge Bob Square Pants game. As a consumer of GB, I must say this is by far the best game model yet. The screen and graphics display are in 32 bit colored.. very clear and crisp. It looks like this game could be on the t.v. screen but in a smaller version. If you ever watch Sponge Bob cartoons, that's what it looks like in the GBA SP model. It comes with it's own a/c adapter cord which you can charge the battery or play it using the a/c adapter plugged into the car. If you're thinking of getting one.. BUY IT!!! It's an investment well worth the money. My husband is not a fan of video games or pocket games so when he saw this he had to get it for my birthday. And anyone can play this.. kids or adults. But all those adults out there.. Be forewarned.. it gets addicting, I haven't let my daughter play with this yet.
WOW DURABLE!!! November 20, 2005

We bought this toy for our 6 years olds birthday. He was sooo excited and played with it all day. Yea it's a bit pricey especially since it doesn't include any games...(we bought him Super Mario Brother's 3) That night he spills juice on it...and it get's all weird acting :(. He was sooo upset but I couldn't just go and pick up another one...Well I took the back off from the battery pack and drained out the juice, wiped the battery with a cotton swap with a tiny bit of alcohol on it and let it dry....the next morning....it worked as good as new!!! We were so happy!!! A+++ for durability!!!!
Great!!! December 6, 2005

I love this game system !!!!! When my family went to a race , I played my gameboy advance sp the whole time , at the campsite,race,and in the car . It diddn't run out the whole time I played it, and all it had was 5 10 min. charges in the bathroom!!! Once it turns red, it can go on for about 1hr.!! It stays green most of the time , and is really reliable!! It also has some really good features like
. A lighted screen that you can turn off and on
. easy buttans
. and it is small , and it also folds up so you can take it to a lot of places!!
It also has great ganes for both girls AND boys ( you don't see a lot of that any more)!! I was almost going to get another gaming system , but none of them worked as great as this one!! I would strongly recomend it!!!!
