  • Game Boy Advance SP - Platinum
Color: Platinum
The one shown, in very pretty light silver gray is the older version. It has two settings but the first is really poorly lit. This is the older model, not the SP. These were lit from the front somehow, I was told, not backlit. It is much less desirable then the newer ones I am about to describe. I bought it out of sentimentality because it was in beautiful condition. This model later came in colors either gunmetal(dark gray), or pale blue or pale pink and id referred to as SP. The improved backlighting that lets you do either a normal or a brighter viewing is truly wonderful and presents beautiful games that look like the Sunday comics colors in the funnies of many years ago. The detail of the games is remarkably superior to the earlier ones that were made in red, black, or bright silver as the one mentioned. The newer ones were totally improved These newer ones in pink, blue or gunmetal are the best that - in my opinion- were invented. While improvements continue to be made in an ever-changing and updating market, there is nothing like these compact, pocket-sized Game Boy Advance SP handy and beautiful game players. They last forever (so it seems) and recharge quickly, lasting quite a while before needing recharging again. The have a volume control. The Warioland 4, Zelda, Mario Pinball, Castlevania, Collapse II, Tetris and certain other games that stack and fling a completed row...you probably known what I mean..are really wonderful on this type of compact. While the exquisitely-made smaller (miniature) machines are truly works of art, they are harder to manipulate and strain the eyes a bit. They do not have the choice of a bright or brighter screen but are also the more modern backlit kind. They have less volume. I would worry about eyetrain in a youngster, the same as too much time for young eyes viewing any computer screen but the difference is that today's computer screens often allow an enlargement of whatever material is to be viewed. As I mentioned, The one we are talking about, the Game Boy Advance SP(ecial) is portable ...absolutely perfect to fit in a pocket. The games are two dimensional and some of the games can be preserved so that you can turn the thing back on and return to the same place where you stopped. Some can be played till you get everything you need to then advance to the next level. These games and the units themselves, are treasures. The power cord/charger unit is still available...online if nowhere else., Some games don't let you store the achievements and allow turning off the unit, but the Game Boy Advance SP does this., depending on when they were created, pretty much. I bought a bunch of the earlier games that were very primitive, just out of fascination for them and to appreciate where a game like Warioland 4 Super Hard Level is about. Not many people even know about this last one. Kids would not know how to pursue it to this high level an not probably have the patience or wisdom to figure it out. Not to put down kids because they are creative and fantastic little buzzards....I could learn a lot. I am 75 and at was 73, when starting on this adventure, had to figure out every single move by trial and error. What a thrill to find the place in the wall that allowed Wario entry, for example, and how to avoid and overpower this and that. Beautifully created and devised. Some day it would be fun to tell the people who created these beauties what a contribution to the world of art and electronics they have given. I wish I could say that I was as good at the other games. But if you are coming up to my age, and a woman, and never had anything like this as a child....get started with Warioland 4 and eventually Mario Pinball. Just don't bother with the gladiator on the end of that game. The trip is great but the designers dropped the ball with the ending. I have won it twice. It is not worth the adrenalin it takes. Couldn't sleep after putting myself under that kind of stress to have the design of the game not respond properly. As ;you can see, I can not say enough good things about these wonderful things! Who says that we had it all, back then, does not understand, that those of us still alive, had it all, and now again have it all! Great. Just great. Sorry if this seems really wordy but I wish someone had written all of this for me when I had a lot of questions. nancy morse ... show more

  • Pleased, but needed some adjustments
Color: Pearl Blue
I am overall happy with my purchase. The product was as described with the correct model; minor wear and the Game Boy looks cosmetically pleasing. However, the incorrect charger was sent and the battery died on me after about 3 hours of gameplay. I am not upset as these were easy fixes, about $10 to order the correct charging cable and $10 for a new battery (the one it came with could not hold a charge)—just things to be aware of before purchasing. Works great otherwise and the color is pretty :) ... show more

  • Good if you get the right model, disappointing if you don't
Color: Graphite
The Game Boy Advance SP comes in two models. One of the models is numbered AGS-001, and then there was a model a few years later with the number AGS-101 (You can easily tell what model SP you received/already had is by looking at the top left of the factory sticker). The latter is more sought-after because it has a backlit screen, unlike the AGS-001 that had a frontlit screen. Most people know this but I bring it up because the unit I bought on this page didn't match the unit I was sent. This review will have two parts. A review of the backlit model I have handled in the past and a review of the model I was sent. AGS-101 (The one I was told I bought): Most people would agree this is the best handheld of the Game Boy lineup, if not best handheld ever made. It plays all three generations of the Game Boy games and has the best screen of all the Game Boys. It is bright, it is clear, and the brightness is even adjustable so you can turn it up in the sunlight or turn it down so you don't blind yourself in a dark room. Also the clamshell design not only looks great but also protects the screen from fingerprints and scratches when not in use. It will stand the test of time if you treat it with respect. If you can find one of these and you like GB/GBC/GBA games, buy this system. Five stars, 10/10, amazing. AGS-001 (The GBA I received in the mail): This system is basically the same as the one described above. Great system, great games, looks beautiful, comes in a variety of colors, quality build, etc. The drawback to this system is mainly the screen, which is frontlit instead of backlit. Meaning the colors aren't as bright, the graphics aren't as clear, and it is much dimmer. Also the light only has two settings, on or off. Still very playable but you will have trouble seeing some things in the game, especially if you've gotten spoiled by the quality of the screens on the DS Lite and Game Boy Micro (Both have screen very similar is brightness and clarity to the AGS-101). The screen needs to bee lookied at in a certain angle otherwise the light reflects off the screen giving it a weird "trapezoid-effect" that is very distracting. Also, Along with being sent the wrong model SP, I wasn't even sent the right color. The AGS-001 doesn't come in Graphite, so you might think I got on Onyx model instead, maybe just a mistake made in packaging as those colors are similar. Nope, I got sent the Flame color. Not similar in the slightest. The unit I received is functional at least. Plays games perfectly, only cosmetic scratches on the outside plastic, screen is as perfect as it can be, buttons are clicky, basically no issues aside from the wrong color and model. Which is a shame as this was going to be a Christmas present for somebody I thought would like an upgrade from the AGS-001 she already had. Most of this seemed nitpicky, I know, and I agree. But that's simply because better screens have been implemented these days and for the same price you can get those better screens without those nitpicky drawbacks. To sum it up, if you buy this and get the unit shown, you will be nearly 100% satisfied (As much as you can be from a system around 10 years old). If you're like me and get the slightly inferior model, you will still be satisfied but you'll most likely play your Game Boy Advance games on a DS Lite or Game Boy Micro you can pick up around the same price nowadays if you don't already own one. Both system I would recommend more than an AGS-001 if you mainly have more GBA games. But if you can track down a AGS-101 that will be your best option as you can get other GB or GBC games like Link's Awakening DX or Pokemon Blue to play on it as well as your GBA library. ... show more
