"The GBA SP, then."

List me some advantages over the GBA that prove it isn't a cheap add-on that don't include the following:

- Size
- Appearance
- Add-ons that you can already buy for the GBA

Do go on.

You can get it from the 14th of April if you import it, that's what i'm doing (my first import, wahoo!).

At first when i switched from a GB Colour to a GBA I thought the buttons were a little uncomftable, but now I don't notice it at all, so you just have to get used to new things.
I think the Gameboy SP is a lot like the original Gameboys since they were all vertical machines, but the GBA was a horizontal design, now the GBA SP is a Vertical again.

Aha, good.

Cheers. I'll have to scrape money together for it somehow, then.

It's still excellent. The speed can be good.

I forgot to say that bit.

Really? I saw the demo on Sonic Mega Collection, and I did notice it was fatser- though I didn't expect it to be much different from the rest.

Hmmm. I don't know whether to buy it or not, now.

Nope, Sonic ADvance 2 is actually pretty different from the first.

It's based alot more on speed while Sonic Advance is not as much. Sonic Advance plays much like a new age older Sonic game whilst Sonic Advance 2 plays much more like a speedier Sonic Advance.

Hmmm

And:

Advance Wars 1 + 2 (When released... :D)

Golden Sun 2 (When released)

Sonic Advance 1 + 2 (Or just 2)

Street fighter

Then, commence saving of money.

In the gameboy advancesp it is rechargeble has light screen it easy to carry and it looks wicked

The light is an obvious advantage - so what if you can get add ons for the GBA that do the same - they dont do it as weel and they are bulky and crap.
the only decent one is the Afterburner - which is difficult to install and is relatively expensive.

The shoulder buttons are more comfy than a normal GBA, as is the d-pad. I had my doubts but when I played on one in GAME i was astonished at the quality of the buttons.

If people doubting the advantages of the SP over the GBA actually played an SP, they would understand.
It might have the same processors inside, but it's whole new handheld in every other respect.
