Video Game Reviews of Game Boy Advance SP - Platinum
Customer Review: WORTH BUYING???????
Summary: 4 Stars
The GameBoy SP has it's ups and downs. I like that the price droped to $79.95 or whatever it was. There is one thing I hate about the SP, there arnt that many good games for the thing. There are some I like, like Mario and Metrod. Another thing is that it's not that different frome the GBA. I LOVE THE LIGHT, I DON'T KNOW HOW I LIVED WITH NO LIGHT ON THE GBA. I once bought the GBA SP at GameSpot and I loved it, it kept me happy for a long time but it got boring and I sold it back to GameSpot. But if your into the GBA's and that other Nintendo stuff ye'll love the GBA SP. Customer Review: Perfect Travel Buddy
Summary: 5 Stars
Can't complain about the price since I bought the original Gameboy over 10 years ago for close to the same amount.
Pros:
Small dimensions...you can fit it anywhere (pocket, purse, etc.)
Very light weight
Folding design protects the screen from scratches/damage
Able to revive/play my original Gameboy games
Rechargable battery lets you save money on buying batteries
Rechargable battery actually lasts quite a while
Given a light on/off option to save batteries
Lots of really useful accessories in the market--best one I purchased is the AC/DC/Car Adapter
Lights indicate "fully charged" and "low battery"
PERFECT for traveling!
Cons:
Didn't come with a game
Ports in the rear are unprotected (uncovered)
A little too smooth design...makes it slippery
Games are expensive (typical...3-4 games = game console)
Headphone jack should have been a given (Why the adapter?)
Original adapter should have been dual voltage (after all, the GBA is designed for travelling, isn't it?)
Wishful thinking:
Protective rubber around it for shock-proofing and better grip
Adjustable light levels
Customer Review: Much Better Than Gameboy Color!

Hey, I've had this system for a year now, and it is the greatest handheld I have ever seen. Of course it will probably be out of date soon with the new PSP and DS, but still this console rocks. It 's display is not frontlit so you can play in any lighting situation, there is a button to toggle the light if you don't need it, save some battery power. The battery is rechargable, no need to buy AA's unlike the old GBA. The battery takes about 3-4 hours to charge, and it lasts about 12 hours with constant backlight. You can juice it up to 18 hours without the backlight. There is no headphone port, but you can buy an adapter for it. Also it has the nice clamshell design to protect the screen and when it folds up it can easily fit in your pocket.
