"gamwe boy advance sp, what do u think of it ?"

The new Game Boy's changes are almost entirely aesthetic. Beneath the hood, it's the same Game Boy Advance system and it will run all previously released games. But with the sleek new look -- the unit will debut in metallic cobalt and platinum -- Nintendo hopes to lure business travelers, college students and other players willing to pay a bit more for appearance.
One major change in the system is its rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which Nintendo officials estimate will handle 18 hours of continuous playing with the unit's light off, or 10 with it on. Recharging takes three hours.
Also new is the system's front lighting, intended to make the system useable both in dark rooms and bright sunlight, which makes it alot easier to see the screen than it did the GBA.
But still there itsn't that much diffrence from the old GBA aprt from above and maybe the games being develpoed for it, all theyve done it polished off the GBA.

I'd never of considered getting the old version but this one look too sweet to ignore.

I'll have a Metallic one with Mario RPG, Zelda and Pokemon Sapphire thanking you very much.

...in the jungle.

...and tumble

Did you hear how it wont be able to play some games that the normal one can.

Eg. Kirby's tilt ..........something

Exactamundo. Even I am considering getting an SP as soon as Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire get released. Coming from a 'die-hard Sony fanboy' that tells you how successful this new unit should be.
