Game Boy Advance SP details

Nintendo presents a new and improved Game Boy Advance, and its got a backlit screen (finally)!

If you don't own a Game Boy Advance yet, than now is the time to get one. The GBA SP is a better model of the GBA that's backlit (so you can play it in the dark) and looks cool. It looks like a laptop (a really small one that fits in your pocket) and plays all Game Boy games (except Kirby's Tilt n Tumble). It doesn't have better graphics than the original GBA and there won't be any games made specificly for it. This is just a nice GBA. Another nice feature worth noting though is the extermination of batteries. The thing has a built-in rechargeable battery. When the battery dies, plug it into the wall to recharge it. It takes 3 hours to recharge (you can even play while its recharging). The battery lasts for about 10 hours with the light on (it has a power switch) and about 18 hours with it off. Gamers without a GBA and fans of handheld gaming should check it out. It'll run you $99.95. Oh, and the only disapointing thing is that if you want play your SP with headphones, you'll need a $5.00 adaptor.
