Today I found some GBA SP in at toys R us, they got their second shipment already but only had the cobalt. I originally was going to get a platinum but said oh well and got the cobalt.

Now I gotta say I have played a regular GBA before and it did nothing for me. The lighting was horrid the screen was dark and games like metroid lost everything. So I never got one. Today I picked up , The GBA SP, A link cable to my game cube, Metroid fusion, and Advance wars.

It has been a fun day playing , linking the GBA SP up to the cube with Zelda was a blast, my son and I could play together making the game even more memorable for the both of us then it was already.

Tonight I had some time to play some fusion and then even more of the advance wars.

While playing fusion I turned the light off and remembered exactly why I had never bought a GBA before now. IT SUCKS! My plan was to buy this and my 5 year old son a used GBA, but there is just no way I can make him play in that kind of eye strain, that would be just cruel after seeing the actual difference 1st hand. So I plan to now give the cobalt one to him when I get the platinum myself. This thing is tiny, I am shocked at how small it really is. Especially folded up.

All I can say is if you don't have one, spend the cash, throw your old game boy in the trash, sell it , do something, let your eyes live again. Now I can only imagine what new life the GBP will bring to these games!!

I havent had a handheld sine the original Gameboy. The SP is a whole new system. I played my friends GBA, but thought it sucked because of the screen. Now my girlfriend and I are stuck on the SP, and I gotta buy her one cause she hogs mine all the time.

I wish my girl would play games. I'd be wasting 100 bones if I bought her one.
