"GBA or GBA SP?"

I need a GBA. Now I can get a GBA for nearly half the Price of a GBA SP. So is the GBA SP worth the extra penies?

At the moment i reckon the GBA is better than the GBA-SP

Yes, they designed the SP to fit exactly with the GBA-GC link up cable.

Sp almost purley on its Backlight :P Get an orange one while your at it!! My screen on my GBA cracked caus it was not a flip top. If it was the SP it would have been fine..

Not really.


With the SP my hands are outstretched forwards.

On a GBA they are curled round sideways.

You must have odd shaped hands.

Can you even link a SP to a Game Cube?????

I prefer the SP.

The original GBA shape cramped my hands a bit, the SP is a more natural position to have your hands in.

I rather have the GBA because it is easier to use when linked to a Game Cube for games like Zelda and Sonic.

Thanks, that helps alot. Now the only issue is money . . .

It's true, the original GBA is much for comfy to hold but the lack of a front-lit screen brings it down. Afterburner + GBA may be a wise choice.

I reccomend you read soemthing I wrote the other week, highlights the good about the GBA compared to the SP etc:
