Nintendo Game Boy Advance user reviews (Indigo)

Summary who tured the lights off, and why cant we turn it on..... This product sucks!!!

Summary I pretty much expected when I bought it that the screen would need illumination. The store had lights from 4.99 to 15 bucks. I opted for the $15 Gamester florescent and that was a great move. I can see the screen and play in any ambient light situation. I would recommend it with an optional light!

Summary Haven't seen this mentioned yet, but the very best backlight for GBA is the Afterburner from tritonlabs.com. It's completely INTERNAL!!! If you don't want to do the surgery to install it yourself, buy one preinstalled from YourHappyPlace.com -- it costs more, but it's worth it! This is what Nintendo should have released in the first place.

Summary There isn't much to say now, since the Game Boy has been out for over a year. The little thing is great for trips, waits in long lines, or just having fun at home. Yes, everybody says the screen is bad indoors. It is true, but you can normally see it pretty well if you keep lights on in the house. Unless you live in a cave, you can see the screen pretty well indoors with lights on. The sunlight is better though. There are plenty of games to buy, that's no problem. The battery life is excellent, and there are lots of add-ons available, including a Glow Guard light. The thing is only $65.00, so price is no issue for a normal working person, unless you work at McDonalds or KFC. If you don't like it after you buy it, just use it as a paper weight or door stop.
