GBA SP Updated with Brighter Backlit Screen

Posted by samzenpus on from the brighter-than-ever dept.

PSXer writes "Nintendo has quietly included a much brighter backlit screen into the new Game Boy Advance SP Graphite and Pearl Blue colors. From the article: "Though all that's changed between the classic GBA SP system and the updated ones is the screen technology, the difference is night and day. The new system kicks on with incredible brightness and clarity in its display right from the start, and the improvement becomes even more obvious with each game you stick in the system.""

    The website does have one interesting property. If you've got cookies disabled, you can't read the article - it just displays ad after ad, in some sort of loop. Damn annoying. Of course, that's not to say the article itself isn't an ad of sorts - but it's more relevant (and interesting).

    Anyway, I wonder if retailers are going to have to discount the older, dimmer version in order to sell off old stock - and by how much?
