Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP - Platinum

The Game Boy Advance SP is my pick for the best handheld system on the market. Sure - the PSP is cooler. But its more expensive. The Nintendo DS is awesome - but its much bigger.

The Game Boy Advance SP represents value and great gaming - the games are affordable and there are 100s of great titles and releases. Also, the system fits in your pocket easily. Best of all - its on the Nintendo platform - meaning you can play Donkey Kong, Mario World, and others while on the subway. Additionally, this is a great time to buy the Game Boy Advance SP because its very affordable and the price is dropping as the other systems come at at lofty prices.

# Approximate Size (Closed): Height 3.33 inches, width 3.23 inches, depth 0.96 inches.
# CPU: 32-bit RISC CPU with embedded memory.
# Screen: 2.9-inch reflective TFT color LCD.
# Light Source: Front lights have been integrated with the existing reflective LCD.
# Display Size: 1.61 inches by 2.41 inches (identical to the Game Boy Advance).

We bought the item for our soon to be 5 year old. He didn't know what one was, but we thought it was a perfect place to start. The Game Boy advance is small enough for little hands, had many games for preschool, and is tough (when dropped it doesn't break easily).

Compared to the L-Max by Leapster, it has many more games to choose from. The games can be educational in nature or purely fun.

I like the light, becouse you can play at night. I also like the fact that it can fit in alot of places, becous it can fold. The last theing and best is that you can play alot of games with it.

What can i say about the sp. I mean it has all the feature of the origial gameboy but with backlight and recharagable battery. It help launch a new generation of nintendo handheld to help create the DS. I mean this was the prototype in which help see what the people wanted and ask what else can we add to it and also make it smaller.

I have purchased 5 of these in my time, and do not regret getting any of them I have not had a problem with any of them I believe they were built to last they were worth every penny I spent. They have entertained my kids for hours, and they can keep a charge like you wouldn't believe. The screen my not be very large but not super small either but it it nice, and bright and clear. My kids never complained about any visual problems while playing it, and I must say one of the 5 I purchased was for myself so I got a lot of hour of entertainment to, and never had a problem with seeing the screen. I would recommend getting these for your kids especially for when going on trips they will entertain the kids, and keep them from auguring with each other and bugging you on your way to your destination I'm sure you parents know what I mean. I have sold, and or selling my kids Game Boy Advance SP because either they have out grown them or they have upgraded to Nintendo DS. If you have kids, and want to get them a system that will last, and will be worth the money well this is the system for you especially if they are young kids. These system are just awesome!!!!

The GBA SP system is an excellent handheld system. It plays both Gameboy color and GB Advance games. I still have my SP even after getting a DS and on occasion will still bust out my SP to kick it oldschool with a GB Color game.

If your looking for a system for a child that tends to break things, right here is your system. Nintendo still releases new games on the SP. In fact, many of the games that are released for the DS have a GBA version as well, not all though.

The SP has a rather extensive library of games all at a reasonable price (something that can't be said for the competition...) that children of ALL ages can enjoy and add to that the fact that you can buy GB Color games for this bad boy and you've just doubled the gaming library. Nintendo doesn't seem to be dropping the SP any time soon, new games keep on coming.

This is a good investment for those who don't want to shell out over a $100 bucks for a DS. Though I'd recommend the DS, the SP is still alive and kicking!

The reason for the purchase was my 7 year old son broke his red gameboy and he had to purchase a new gameboy. Was in search of a red gameboy but instead got a platinum gameboy.The thing as a parent that I like about the gameboy is that it is great for traveling,lot's of games to choose from,easy to work,dosen't take up alot of space.Even though it's my son's gameboy as a parent I love to play games on it.The only thing I dislike about the system is the rechargeable battery.If you lose your charger than your gameboy will only work until it becomes uncharged.Overall I would recommend a gameboy purchase if you're on a budget.

I wanted a Game boy for my 6 year old but didn't want to pay full price. Your product hit the mark - he won't know if its new or not!

I purchased a gameboy advance sp for my son when they first came out and then he decided he wanted to sell it on ebay when the nintendo ds came out.But just recently I turned around and bought another sp because he likes to play it more.The gameboy sp is small and compact which makes for good take along.He is allowed to bring this to school for use in the morning and afterschool.( waiting for the bus) and the games are more kid oriented.They are not expensive like some of the other games for different systems.I would highly recommend this system to anyone.

I love this handheld system. It is a thousand times brighter than the regular gameboy advance. With it's neat color it looks cool for any child of yours.
With the ability to fold, it takes up less space than the game boy advance.
Go to www.amazon. com for fantastic reviews. They have a lot more information, there, than Ebay.
I woul definately reccomend this other than the regular advance. Pay a little more for this for a BIG difference.
You can only buy game boy advance and Gameboy Advance Sp games for this Nintendo Ds games DO NOT WORK. I repeat NINTENDO DS GAMES DO NOT WORK!!! Don't even try! The slot is too, big.
I also reccomend getting a Ds because you can play both kinds of games!!!
Comes in diiferent colors, so if you have a daughter who prefers pink I reccomend buying the pink one (or you can buy this one cheaper and then buying a pink face plate! MUCH CHEAPER!!!!)

I love the Game Boy Advance that we purchased here used. The fact that my daughter is able to play with it all the time. Now she is not nagging me. The Game Boy Advance that I received was slighty used, but in great shape. We also got three games for one low price. We tried very hard to get such a great deal. Ebay is fun and exciting when the whole family can do this together. We are new at this, but look forward to future purchases and may even selling some of our items here too. We send thanks to the seller. The only thing that we didn't find out until after the fact was that there was no charger with our purchase. But next time I now know to contact the seller by email if I have any questions about our purchase. We were able to find one in our local gaming store here, at a very inexpensive price.

it works great like new just an overall good product and good shipping
it was cool sleek shinny and tight as hell! for real man!

I received the Game Boy quickly and it's in very good condition. My son uses it all the time and is SO appreciative. Thank you!

We love the gameboy advance sp, I bought it for my little girl, and she spends as much time playing as she is allowed. I think she would play constantly if I would let her. I think it is great for hand-eye coordination, and to make her think quickly. I decided to buy it because all her cousins had one, and she thought it was time she got one too.

i BROUGHT THE GAMEBOY FOR MY GRANDSON WHO IS SEVEN YEARS OLD AND HAS A BROKEN HEART BECAUSE HIS BESTEST BUDDIE WAS JUST RUN OVER BY A BOAT AND KILLED,WHILE THEY WERE OUT TUBING,HE IS HEARTBROKEN AND SO AM I,HE HAD WANTED A GAMEBOY FOR A LONG TIME AND I WAS HAPPY TO GET IT TO HIM TO OCCUPY HIS TIME WITHOUT HIS FREIND,THE MAN I BROUGHT IT FROM WAS EXCELLENT,IT ARRIVED FASTAND THE GUY SENT EXTRA THINGS FOR THE GAMEBOY AND IT GOT HERE FAST,,,

I bought it to replace the one I lost. I personally don't play it but my daughter says it works great and looks good too. Very happy with it. Had a little trouble with purchase and shipping cost was a bit excessive but I was able to work it out with the seller and she tried to make it right. She will be a great seller with more experience. I did still leave her positive feedback.

Units were as ad stated, everything is working as described. My sons have been asking for two game boys and I did not want to buy new as we were not sure if they would enjoy them. This was a Great buy for my two young boys and seller was very helpful.

Has a little lap top appeal and I think its pretty cool how its like a clam shell laptop. I loved it!

This product was just as offered. Fast shipping and good price. The case was pretty scratched up but you said that in your ad. Thank you very much

i loved the gameboy because it makes my kids happy. i needed this gameboy so my kids have one each. thank you.

Gameboy was just as described, in excellent condition. Well packaged,shipped quickly,and excellent communication. Thanks again!

Gameboy Sp. Very good handheld, if you like game boys get one, small and compact. I have a black one this one looks though...
