The SP is smaller, easier on the hands, and has an illuminator behind the screen so you can actually see the game you're playing. The SP is a small step for gamers but a giant leap for Nintendo. The convience, fun, and portability of the GBA just got better. Also the SP doesn't switch games so you can still get the GBA Games for it.
For a moment I was worried about the compatibility with E-Reader compatible games. My GBA SP is the Platinum/Onyx version. I was lucky to get the dual color one, but no matter which color you get you will have hours of fun. Screen protectors are the first thing on my mind. I got the Game Boy Advance SP on Christmas.
I was excited to play with it. The SP itself, I loved the fact that it had a lighted screen. I loved it. The clamshell design is brilliant but I am taking no chances with this thing.
Nothing to worry about. Since I'm hooked on this thing I use it often. I have a dark house so I used it regularly. I thought those two colors go together well.
The charger is a great step in gaming. This is a must have, get it now.
The graphics arent the best but with all the games you can get for it, it really makes up for it. It looks awsome. This is the best. The gameboy sp is the best. Nintendo job well done.
normally i would give a gbasp 4.5 stars, but this gba just looks plain UGLY
irrating if you want to hold/have the screen vertical/ly (like the GBC). ok, firstly (yes, it's a word) the sound is louder than the original gameboy advance due to the follwing: it's centered on the system and the holes are bigger, letting more sound project out, while on the original the second layer of plastic covered the sound completely, so it seemed muffled (compared to GBA SP). btw, all SPs have glitter on them, if you're wondering (i was). whenever a small thrust occur to the screen toward the body, the screen snaps back to the preset position. man, this color it rocks so much.
many people thinks it's goofed up, but when you hold it, man, does it feel and look nice (especially closed). the bulb is mostly at the bottom of the screen lighting upward. black and platinum matches very well. Just wish the screen can stay still when going past the preset position (see image).
Finally, it feels very expensively made, not like the cheapness of the original GBA. ingenious. third, the buttons are more "precise"; they're more low, giving a nice click feel to it, think playstation 2 power button. Second, the light cover all the area of the screen.
fourthly, the folding of the system. Sure the original is more comfortable, but you'll get use to holding the flat lower section in no time.

The SP comes with a well-designed power adapter that recharges a built-in battery; its prongs fold in for easier storage. Our informal tests found that it takes about four hours to fully charge (you can even play it while it's plugged in and charging), and the battery lasts about 11 hours with the backlighting constantly on--your results may vary. Using the backlighting less often will conserve battery power.
