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.

Not at all. Its just something to moan at, They are very nice but you do need to get used to them. After a while you won't remember and it feels comfortable.

I have a PAL GBASP and a Japanese GBASP.

It rules. I play games now before I fall asleep and it helps with my insomnia. Seriously good game - Zelda.

Infact, one of the best games ever. Get that, Golden Sun and Mario Kart.

With more games coming out for it and more link up options with the cube.

Seriously. Excellent gadget.:)

I hear the buttons are uncomfortable, especially the shoulder buttons.

Any truth in that? Or have these reveiwers just got big hands.

it only takes 3 hours to fully charge it fully, and the charger comes free with the GBA

I think the SP is supposed to be a bit more battery friendly too isn't it ? 10 hours with the light on, 18 hours if you keep the light off. Plus theres another plus to the way it folds in half besides becoming more compact - it helps protect the screen. One thing about past Gameboy systems is that the screen is always exposed and as they're carried around, they are open to recieving scratches, etc.
With the SP folding in half, it helps avoid this problem. :-)

Do you have to charge it up? They already have chargable ones for the GBA.
