    I've got a GBA SP, hand cramps and all. I prefer it over the regular GBA though. Don't like having to buy the addon for headphones.

    Nintendo DS will be rather good from what I've seen, but it's not the next Game Boy.. So the next Game Boy that comes out will blow away the GBA.

    Learn your acronyms people!

    GBA = Generic Term for Game Boy Advance (includes AGB and AGS)
    AGB = Game Boy Advance
    AGS = Game Boy Advance SP

    Anyway, I have a Game Boy Advance and a Game Boy Player. I prefer the AGS to the AGB and I tend to use it when at my uncle's house (he has one) over my AGB. I want the Classic NES AGS but I'm going to wait for the DS.

    Well I just call the Game Boy Advance a "GBA" and the Game Boy Advance SP "SP".



    Well I both a GBA and an SP. I like my SP better because it's red. And I like how it folds, and how it's smaller and most of all the lighted screen.


    Now for the members that asked about the Nintendo DS: The DS will play Game Boy Advance games. It won't play GB (Game Boy) and GBC (Game Boy Color) games. Just the DS and GBA games.

    I have a now SP even though I went though exactly 3 GBA's...

    It was said that a frontlit light could not be installed because of technical issues, but I think it was to promote the GBA then after awhile when GBA became famous the SP was released. If that was their plan it was marketing genius, but if not, they did the right thing anyway XD.

    I have both. My GBA I got for Xmas and I bought the GBASP myself. :D

    My friend (who's a guy, not a boyfriend) has both, a GBC (but he probably gave that to this little sister) and gave his Game Boy (the really old one, I think it's called a Game Boy Pocket or something) to his sister.

    My friend Dani has a Game Boy Color and a GBASP. She totally skipped the GBA. :P

    I also have this really cool thing for my GBASP called a Gamester. I'm sure many other people have this: it's something that attatches to the GBASP and can hold 3 games at a time.

    I also have a Game Boy Color but I'm thinking of selling it (as if anyone will buy it though. It's as old as dinosaurs! :P )

    SP is better, but mine was recently stolen, (idiot is gonna be mad when he finds out he needs a charger XD) and I sold my GBA, so I have none for now, but now I have all the more reason to get a DS. I'm glad I had my FR in my pocket...... not in my SP.(that was my 3rd SP.....)

    Also: The DS can't connect when playing GBA games. Its pretty much a scam. They were right though, its not a new GB!

    I voted both. I was stupid enough to think that I needed a GBA that looked cooler! I still like my SP better. I gave my GBA to my sis.

    I thought the release for the DS in Japan was 12/2/04...
    And that the US release was on Nov 21...
