After growing speculation, Nintendo have at last announced that the latest Gameboy which will be released this year will be the GameBoy Advance SP and is set to be launched in Europe on 28th March 2003 and will be priced around £85-£95.

The console has a completely new stylish design, making it look like a mini laptop or PDA. The console will be available in a range of colours, all of which have metallic finishes. These colours are silver, black and blue. I think the silver one looks the best!

The Gameboy Advance SP is a truly pocket-sized gadget, at only 84.6mm from front to back, 82mm wide and only 24.3mm thin! Nintendo have introduced further added things to their new gadget to give it a totally new image. These are: a flip-top screen with a integrated front screen light, plus a re-chargeable lithium battery similar to those found in mobile phones. According to Nintendo, the SP will allow over 10 hours of gameplay (with the light switched on) and 18 hours of gameplay with the light switched off!

As with the GameBoy Advance, all original GameBoy and GameBoy Advance games are compatible with the new console so don't worry about not being able to play your existing games! Also, all extras which were compatible with the existing GameBoy's is able to work on the SP!

These are all of the new technical specifications for the SP:

-New pocket-size and foldable with flip-top screen that enables more compact size.
-Dimensions are 82mm wide, 84.6mm height, 24.3mm deep.
-Weight of the SP is approximately 143g.
-New integrated self-contained LCD screen light.
-New built in re-chargeable Lithium Ion battery that enables approximately 10 hours of continual gameplay with approximately 3 hours recharging time.
-When the front light is turned off, the continual play increases to approximately 18 hours.
-Three premium/stylish metallic colours: silver,black and blue.
-Up to 32,000 simultaneous colours!!!
-Display size- 40.8mm x 61.2mm.
-Resolution- 240 x 160 dot.
-32-bit CPU with embedded memory.
-Multiplayer mode for up to 4 players with GameLink cable.
-Compatible with virtually all existing GameBoy and GameBoy Advance games.

I hope I have inspired you in to wanting one of these outstanding consoles so write a note of the date it is out in your diary and remember to pre-order one as they will probably be sold out within a day of release!

Thankyou for reading and please tell me if your going to buy one and what you think it will be like!

Come on, it's not copied. It's not exactly up to that standard is it? Just read it through - you can tell it's not from a website.

they're just calling you on poor use of english.

"I didn't copy nothing" is a double negative, so what you're saying is "I copied something".
