Nintendo GameBoy Advance SP: Platinum (GBA)

The future of handheld gaming looks brighter than ever, thanks to Nintendo. Building on the success of the spectacular Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP features a revolutionary Front Light Screen making game play easy in any lighting condition. Powered by a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery, you're good for about 10 hours of game play with only three hours needed to recharge. All current and future Game Boy Advance games are compatible with the new system, and just like the original GBA, GBA SP is backward compatible, allowing access to a massive library of games and accessories.

  Duration of ownership: 14 Days

  Strengths: Smaller than it's predecessor. Back lit. Lasts for 9 hours with the light on, 18 hours without. Takes just about all previous games. Like everything about it.

  Weaknesses:None that I know of.

  Overall Evaluation: Bought these for grandsons who are very tech savvy for their ages (8 & 10) and they love them! Also like the fact that they last so long on battery and that there are attachments to hook them up to one another to play against each other.

  Duration of ownership: 7 Months

  Strengths: Solor Powered with a Portable fold. Also recharges on it's own long-lasting battery pack. Comes with addapter.

  Weaknesses:poor handling.

  Overall Evaluation: The Game Boy SP is nice, but may not fit your hands as well as the original advance (which can be resolved by buying a handling accessory). It is a good item to have on your hands especially now that the price has dropped $20!

  Strengths: I really like the light on my Gameboy SP.

  Weaknesses:You can't plug the headphones in without the attachment.

  Overall Evaluation: This is the best Gameboy so far. The light makes it easy to play any time of day or night. I also love watching the short movies on my SP, and the optional radio is cool.

  Duration of ownership: 1 Days

  Strengths: Sleek, compact, powerful!

  Weaknesses:How long will the battery last?

  Overall Evaluation: Just got it tonight! Highly recommended. I have been through 4 hours of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures and it's a blast! Maybe one of the best Nintendo systems yet. Tons of amazing games (Golden Sun, Sword of Mana, Wario Ware Inc., Final Fight One, just to name a few...) and the graphics are quite amazing for such a small system. If you have a GameCube and some GameCube-to-GBASP cables, make sure you buy Zelda:4SA. Hours of great gameplay, rechargeable battery, lit screen for those through-the-night trips, and so many gaming possibilities. Four player battles through Zelda:4SA and Final Fantasy:Crystal Chronicles are a blast! Or play by yourself with the other great aforementioned games! Am I rambling?...
