And god it's brilliant!!! It feels superb, it looks slick and the new front-lit light makes it worth getting and even without the light on it's still quite easy to see (still not brilliant though). It's small and can easily fit in your pocket and the Box is about quatre the size of the GBA!! The D-Pad has been improved as well, superb for my Monkey Ball Jr!! Overall it looks set to be HUGE and adults can look cool with one as well! :D
BUT there is some problems: If you have an E-reader for Animal Crossing (for scanning the Animal Crossing E-cards) it won't work at all!!! If you have one you can see that the little Port has no where to go (It's identical to the Link Lead port if you want to know what i'm talking about) and this is what is needed to get the communication from your Gamecube to your Gameboy Advance and Scan Animal crossing E-cards. All other E-cards like the Nes games, Mr Game and Watch etc.. WILL work because you do not need to link it to the Gamecube for it to work. Don't worry though the Link Lead does work so you will be able to use it for Zelda and get the Animal Crossing Island.
Also if your thinking of Importing a GBA SP you will need a Step Down converter (if you have an imported CUBE you will not need to buy one because you should have one already) and remember the manual will be in Japanese!!!
There are loads of places to buy one from and are about £30+ extra over the UK one's, which is not bad if your impatient like me but be quick they are selling out fast!!!
Goblin Direct: £119.99 Blue only availible at this time but they are recieving stock of silver and Black this week (hopefully). (Cheap)
City Cyber: £134.99 with free Step down converter (i brought from these) every colour should be availible.
Cagames: £144.99 quite expensive but EXTREMLY reliable.
I hope this info helps anyone who is thinking of importing a GBA SP!! :)

Saw the limited edition valentines day GBA SP Final Fantasy Tactics bundle in Another World today, for a cool £249.....ouch.
Anyway, selling my old GBA on Ebay, and not bothering with an SP 'cause I can't afford to pay £30 a time for games I barely play much.

Heh, no problem. I only read about it today, so you're rather lucky. Maybe. :D
Yes your right, thank god for that i thought i never could be able to get rid of my GBA. The E-reader goes into the game slot but the Link lead instead of connecting to the E-reader goes into the Link Lead slot, SORRY ABOUT THAT....... i'm now so pleased :D SORRY AGAIN
Yeah, it does.
Where it goes into? the e-reader goes in the cart slot doesn't it?
I was reading on Nintendo Europe's chatforums that you CAN use it on a GBA Sp (Obviouslly I'm referring to the E-reader) but it's not even released here anyway, so what's the worry?
I was gonna get one but now I find out that I can't it with Animal Crossing I probably won't bother, just have to get myself one of the Platinum normal model thingy's.
Stupid Nintendo, I could understand the oversite if it was a third party game that needed it but it's one of their most popular Cube games for fook sake.
