The new Gameboy Advance at £70-90 is quite expensive for a handheld console.But is it worth it? With 32 bit it is as powerful as a Playstation 1. Many games like Tony Hawks 2 and GT Advance championship shows the Gameboy Advance to be every bit as good as the Playstation 1. But games like GT championship and Jurassic park 3 do not do wonders for the Gameboy Advance's appearance.
So why is there this massive gap in quality of graphics and gameplay? The screen is much wider than the old Gameboy and Gameboy Colour and seems much clearer. The sound is ten times better than the tinny sound of the old Gameboy and Gameboy Colour.
You can also buy many cool add-ons like the FM radio and better speakers that plug into the bottom of the Gameboy Advance to make the sound even louder and clearer.
So what do you think, is the Gameboy Advance worth the money and is it as good as it is made out to be?

Totally and utterly true, Strafex. If I could be bothered, I'd of replied with the something along those same lines ;-D
If you're wondering whether to buy a GBA or not, my answer in it's simplest form would be: Get one, definately worth the money.
SHOCKY

The machine itself is worth the money but the games are over priced.
It might be 32 bit, but it's nowhere near as powerful as the playstation. It's just a bit better than the Snes.

I know you're a newbie, mate - but this has been done before so many times that I've inevitably lost count.
Good start, though :D
