Yes, me too, but there are alkays flaws with oening your GBA. Dust creepage is a major problem, as is the battery life of your GBA. It will slowly decrease as you use an AB, so it's always good to go 1st hand.

Somehow I think they got the idea of its look from mini-disc players like SONY'S!

Still, it seems very tempting

I didnt say that either was superior to the other i just said that it's good that Nintendo are giving people a choice, but the design is a good one in my opinion and you would probably understand that if youve ever played on or owned a Game and Watch which judging by your posts i would say you havent so i'm not going to waste my time trying to convince a cynic especially when theres nothing to convince you of seeing as the new GBA is just giving the consumer a choice, if you don't like it then thats fine but you could try being a bit more open-minded in you posts in future, just a thought :)

well don't look in the mirror then :D seriously though i can't see anything wrong with it, it's smaller, stylish and has the feature every naysayer has wanted, a Back Light.

The only problem which is'nt really a problem is that apperently it does'nt have a headphone socket but Nintendo apperently are going to release a pass-thru connector which will allow headphones and a link cable to both be used simultaneaously should the occaision arrise.

It also go's to show that Nintnedo's been listening to what the public wants and does cater for all ages and I think they deserve to be praised for it and not ridiculed due to 1 or 2 design flaws (the other being the L and R buttons) which arent really flaws anyway so from one satisfied Nintendo veteran, Well Done Nintendo.
