"Nintendo hits the mark with this one" on by MaximusMMV
Pros: Surely the best example of a handheld ever
Cons: stupid pokemon, why so many? It's all the same!
Summary: I think Nintendo got it right on this hand held. This is by far the best example of a handheld system ever. Compact, light weight, durable and best of all it closes so the screen can't get scratched. You can drop it and it will still work fine, believe me I've tried. Long story short, this is a fine system , I give it a 9 because I can't stand all those ********* Pokemon games. But other than that, good screen size, graphics are clear and the system is a comfortable fit in anyone's hands.

"Screen.... ehh" on by Mikey Z
Pros: backlit screen, easier to push buttons
Cons: the screen sometimes bends back so u have to fix it.
Summary: this is ok... i guesse. the buttons are easy to press and it only took nentendo 12 years until they figured out there maginieying lights dont work so the needed a backlit screen. but the screen sometimes bends back so u have to fix it. if you arnet looking right at the screen it will be all white. the part were you can bend the screen up is pointless because noone uses that angle anyway. i recomend the psp

"Fixing one problem and bringing new ones" on by AKA_Ben
Pros: Lighted screen, backwards compatability, clamshell design
Cons: Small shoulder buttons, kind of cramped, clicky buttons
Summary: Now don't get me wrong, I love playing with my GBA SP but it does have some problems exlcusive to it.
The screen is great, now that it is lighted. It's odd though how it is not backlit...cuases some slight viewing problems at weird angles. It's good but executed just a tad poorly.
The GBA has quality games but the backwards compatability really adds to what the GBA SP can do. You basically have a choice of any mobile game ever made (aside from a few oddballs like Kirby's Tilt & ...I think Tumble). Good feature.
Those good parts make up most of my score but the compact design felt cramped especially the shoulder buttons. I didn't like the weird clicky buttons compared to the old GBA's buttons.
Still Nintendo does know what it's doing when it comes to handheld gaming and the GBA SP shows it. A good buy. -
"Wait till the battery needs changing!" on
Summary: Nice lighted screen...about time. NO headphone jack...ahhh! What do I do once the battery is finished? How do I change this easily? The battery will only last about 300-500 charges and that's it, your screwed!
