Congrats on the SP.

Have fun! SP is 10x better than the standard advance. No more wasting batteries!

Plus it's back lit.... that was a extremely sad thing about the Advance, I mean even the Sega Nomad was back lit.

Where the HECK you get an SP for $20? I want an SP so badly.

for some odd reason bargains flow to me a river. i have scored 30+ tg-16 games for $50 once, tg-16 turbo express for $60. moon ranger for nes COMPLETE for $2. etc.

btw...
how long does the battery on the sp last?
i was playing it all day at work and it still has juice left. this is awesome.

Yeah, the batteries last quite a while. I used to play mine on and off regularly for at least a few days before it needed a charge.

And I can't believe that I forgot that the regular GBA wasn't backlit. I guess I just kind of take that for granted now.

I love my "NES classic" sp version.

Indeed; the SP is the ultimate in Game Boy technology. It's got it all!: Folds for compactability (and keeps the screen safe!), is front-lit (back-lit for the later models), is rechargable, AND plays every Game Boy / Color / Advance game ever made!

Sorry to derail a bit, but isn't there 2 versions of the SP out?

Nope, there's just the backlit SP and the Micro.

Sort of. The older ones (before... 2004, I believe) were front-lit. Newer ones are back-lit (which is better ).
