I know you are right as well, buying the previous GBA and then getting a light is much cheaper and its just a handheld, but I just wanna have it......... I have never bought a GameBoy before.... and now that I am planning to.........I just want the best one in the market. We still do go on trips to Chicago and NewYork by car.... it would be awesome for that..... and lunch breaks would be fun too now.

I never really wanted to buy Xbox you know....... But after purchasing GameCube it hit me that I should own all the three systems just for the heck of it and the only "system" I dont have is GameBoy. Well I do play all three systems alot..... and I mean alot (On a holiday I am up till 8 am playing various games). So SP would help me out in alot of things..... to me its a new high tech gadget that can do wonders. And that Street Fighter Alpha looks Amazing on that little devil!

I'd like to get the SP for many of the same reasons.

And Ssj.... I tried to look at different sites, but none of them are talking about the new Bundle Option GameBoyAdvance is giving. May be its not a great one, still I think Golden Sun is one of the best RPGs on GameBoyA. The game itself costs $49.99 (Canadian). You are saving $39.99 dollars on that. And I think the Bundle offer started because alot of people knows that GBASP is coming so nobody is buying this GBA now. So to still sell them away they started this bundle which I think would end till the release of SP (Or would go for even longer). Hope all that helps

Thanks for the help. I wasn't sure if it was for the GBA or GBA SP. Yet another way nintendo has frustrated me. Oh well, over here Golden Sun is just $29.99

Yup, I truly am, I am even planning on buying another Ps2 for the basement, so my old one would go into the basement and the new one inside my room!

I own every Game Boy system except the original Bricky one, I aint gonna stop now.

I have my eyes on the GBA SP with the Silver Shell

And Goodman.. $170?! Its gonna be £85 here in the UK, so that doesnt sound right...

I know, even in the United States its going to be $115 (after tax), which sounds pretty cool. But in Canada after tax its turning out to be $172.

Well atleast its better then where I use to live before in the middle east. ONE Ps2 game costed for DHS 250. Which sounded and was ALOT for a game!!! The Ps2 itself costed for DHS 2000.

And this GameBoy Advance SP is going to be for DHS 450 which is alot as well.

Neways.... Mid March is going to be a BUSY part of the month. I have to buy 6 games for Ps2 1 game for NGC and SP with 4 games. DAMN!

Thats not bad, I thought the GBA SP was going to be more expensive! But I had a GBA but sold it, Only becuase I moved away from some of my friends who all had GBA's with link cables....oh welll.

[ssjtrunks13]

That's about the price of it at Best Buy.

Sure, there are different prices, but they wont vary that much, especially with a new product. I noticed a price for a refurbished GameCube at EBWorld, only $85, which is wild, practically giving it away now...

Yea I can imagine the prices not haveing a huge price gap! but $85 dollars for a refurbished gamecube that is soooo cheap, thats why I wanna come over to the States for my holidays and buy and buy! Its so cheaper (video games) in the U.S. than in U.K.!

Well, one of my friends just got the SP today and I tried it out for myself. All I can say is, the thing is really really small! But somehow, the sleek new look is damn cool, and the controls feel just as comfortable as on the regular GBA; even with the shortened L and R buttons. The light is pretty bright as well, and it's great now that you can charge the battery. I have to get one...

[DragonSphere]

Perhaps it is good to wait, since I already have the original Advance, and it only took about a year or so for that price to go down (not to mention my money problem right now). Bleh..I was just hooked on the new look.

[MakgSnake]

Yeah, I'll be getting my GameBoyAdvance SP tomorrow morning 10:00am sharp (22nd March). Woohoo. I am not getting the games that I thought I would be, as of money short problems (Have to buy gifts for my sister on her birthday too).

The game I will be getting...... ---> (The New Tom And Jerry Game)

[MakgSnake]

Well seems like nobody posted after my post. Oh well, its 12:38pm here in Mississuaga, and I have been playing my GameBoy Advance for the last 2 1/2 hour....... and man it rocks. For the the first 30 minutes I couldn't just take my eye away from it. I was all touching and all. Checking all the features. Its so beautiful. I bought the Silver Matalic one.

Well as for the game, yeah I did buy the Tom And Jerry: Infurnal Escape. Starring "TOM".

The game rocks, the screen rocks. Its all bright....... when I turn the light off... I can hardly see anything...... damn it must have been hard for all the previous version owners. As when I use it without the Light On...... its works perfectly fine only if I am sitting next to the window (daylight). Even with my room light......the screen without the light isn't that good. The backLight feature is just awesome. I also bought the special Cord so through which I can plug in headphones.. the cord came with silver headphones, pretty sweeet. Its just awesome.

The game is awesome too.... I love the fact that it has so many features in the game. And you can do so many things...... and graphically its beautiful too. Just the background music that isn't that that great. Still really fun to play. Comming Firday, I think I'll buy Castlevania HOD, and Yoshi's Island.

Who else has got their SP?......

[mark0™]

Yo Makg, Me and my borther got SP's yesterday!

My Parents bought us them when they went to Las Vegas for the week.

I Can't beleive how good the picture looks with the backlight! It actually looks more detailed! Amazing.

I Love the charger only, no batteries, makes it so compact, its amazingly easy to carry around.

I Think it looks really grown up too, only one thing I Dont like, Its not very wide, and it feels akward to hold... Especially for me, since my hands are big. Also the Shoulder Buttons aren't to conviently placed IMO.

Oh and I got a Silver one too! My Bro has the blue.

Bah, don't get an mp3 player. You may be able to play songs on your Game Boy Advance in the near future. Though I think the article I read said that it would take a while to be able to use your own music. So I would look into that first.

I am certainly going to buy one soon. I am looking for a good deal though. I don't want to spend 100 bucks on just the the unit then have to spend another 30-40 on a game. I will buy Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and Crystal Chronicles when they come out. I may buy Napoleon too. I will certainly stay away from that Pokemon stuff. I feel into that trap once before. NEVER AGAIN!!!!

Yep, it sucks without the backlighting, I don't have an SPO though but I hear some friends who went to New York for some sort of school trip got SPs from going to see TRL(a stupid american music request show; for those not in the know) damn them; I don't like the show but I still would have wanted to be there to get a free SP, so it's a pain having to sit in front of a light or window or having to buy that overhead light accessory which sucks up battery power at an alarming rate. If I only I could have held for a month when the news of the SP hit me thanks to you, then I would have waited before I bought anything just to get the SP, damn. Hope you guys have lots of fun playing your SPs.
