Game Boy Advance SP, Cobalt

Strengths: battery life, color display

Weakness: None

Fantistic, No more replacement of AA batteries, what a cost savings. The 10-12 hour battery life is great for the long car trips. The light screen is great for night trips and when bedtimes comes. Small, compact lighted flipscreen, playes all old games, and use all old attchments.

Game Boy Advance SP, Cobalt

Strengths: Great improvement over previous releases. Awesome game playing. The front lit screen and resolution are much better on GBA SP than on earlier releases.

Weakness: Color could be better as it appears a little weak at times but may be different games vice console itself.

GBA SP is great for all ages. I highly recommend this product and I am buying for all gamers on my XMAS list this year!

Game Boy Advance SP, Cobalt

Strengths: The cover is a great screen protector. It recharges quickly and infrequently.

Weakness: Does not play pac-man well. The direction buttons are not responsive enough.

My son loves his GBA SP. It appears to be a sound investment for his entertainment. It travels well and with the car adapter goes on forever! I will let my daughter get one when she is ready.

Game Boy Advance SP, Cobalt

Strengths: Portability, battery life, display

Weakness: Need to use special headphones

This is a great product. Far greater than the previous gameboys. Definitely is worth the extra money over the original gameboy advance. Same screen size, resolution, great gameplay but, the backlight make it so much more better. Great rechargable Li-ion battery. 10 full hours with the backlight on. Very cool gift for any gamers (a person who likes to play video games)

Game Boy Advance SP, Cobalt

Strengths: No extra accessories needed to see and play a game.

Weakness: N/A

This game boy is better than the original. My children found it hard to keep up with all the accessories with the older version but love the newer version.

Game Boy Advance SP, Cobalt

Strengths: The lights always the lights

Weakness: Too slim (for my hand)

My first GameBoy was GameBoy Color, and I don't like it because it only can generate a 8-bit graphic . Later I was attracted to a GameBoy Color's successor called GameBoy Advance, the GBA. I just love the colorful 2D graphics (32 768 colors generated, 511 colors displayed simultaneously) with Mario and Zelda games. But I ditched it because whenever I play GBA, I always saw my face on screen, it's...

Game Boy Advance SP, Cobalt

Strengths: Excellent bathroom enjoyment!

Weakness: Dang L and R buttons are in the wrong spot. Can't tell you how may times I've accidently hit those buttons. Quite annoying.

All in all, the Game Boy Advance SP kicks butt! Although this was a Christmas gift for my wife, I've spent more time playing it than she has. Oh well, looks like I got a new toy too. :)

Game Boy Advance SP, Cobalt

Strengths: Small, compact size. Decent games.

Weakness: Need more games available.

This will definitely help entertain my daughter on trips and long waits in lines. It is small enough to fit into a pocket. Beats any handheld competition.

Nintendo has certainly shown it is not immune from failure during the past two decades. Following some really bad decisions and a long grocery list of ill-fated peripheral launches, Nintendo's future as a company largely hinges on its new Revolution game console. Where did the former console king go wrong?
