It's no GB Advance SP.

Actually, technically, it is. Unless you mean design wise.

Almost makes me regret buying a DS a week ago. Oh well. I figured I couldn't be bothered to wait for months before being able to play DS games.

Only problem with it is that old GBA games stick out a bit :(

But fuck, for the redesign, ill buy it as soon as i can. So nice, and a bigger stylus too :p

Besides, anybody who hasn't got a GBA SP for GBA games still is a nutter. The SP rocks still, and it plays old GB games. Must have item.

I'll still eventually buy an SP, but a friend succeeded in getting me to buy a DS first. Yay for Mario Kart DS :)

Now if I could just find my old Game Boy cartridges. The SP is still around $80 around here.
