Gameboy Advance SP Released Today in North America

Txiasaeia writes "The latest version of Nintendo's venerable Gameboy has been released today in North America. The Gameboy Advance SP builds upon its predecessor by adding a front lit display, and a foldable design in order to protect the screen. Also, instead of using AA batteries to power the device, it uses a Lithium-Ion battery. Other than that, the basic architecture of the system remains the same as the original Gameboy Advance. Most online retailers' first shipment has been sold out, but my local Walmart had plenty of copies. Check out this Gamespy review." I snagged one at lunch today. The screen is vastly improved from the original GBA. Now the only question is how many Pokemon I can collect ;) (And yes Hemos, we got you one too ;)

    " a lot of stereotypes are based off of some truth"
    So true, after all a stereotype can not come about unless a significant amount of a certain trait can be found in something. Sometimes its called racist or sexist or any other .ist but its just an attempt to hide from a factor of truth.

  3. GameWallet successes/failures? by detritus. · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I wonder if anyone has had success/failure with the GameWallet with the SP? It would seem to me the form factor of the GameWallet would get in the way of the clamshell design, but maybe i'm wrong..
