please tell, me how the new gameboy plays and what it looks like as i,ve heard about it but never played or saw one.
You must mean the gameboy advance sp, well i have to say its one very amazing piece of hardware, the design is just brilliant its so small that when folded its the size of my palm.
The display is very clear and the front light is just brilliant, games like castlevania, which were quite dark and hard to see on the normal game boy advance are now very clear and easy to see, IMO the game boy sp screen looks a bit bigger then the gameboy advance, but im told its the same size as the normal gba. Compared to afterburner lights on gba the gba sp light is much better.
The buttons are all in perfect position so its easy to handle, two at the front and the two shoulder buttons at the top behind the screen are a little small IMO but relitivly easy to use.
Also the sound system, is better i think although the speaker is closer now.
But i have to say my favorite feature on the gba sp has to be the rechargable battery, like a mobile phone, but extreamly light, save so much hassle and money then buying batteries every week or 2, the rechargable battery also lasts pretty long, at least a week easily, altough i play it alot.
its availabe i different colours silver is the most common, but my favorite is the black gba sp, with white buttons, looks brilliant.
i'd say its the perfect hand held gaming machine.

I didn't realise how small it was till today when i saw it on display at toys r us. But the screen is biggre than the old one. I think they will stop selling the old one in a month or two cos the GBASp is alot better value for money.
It it just the same as a GBA but has a light up screen.But it looks great.
