Is it worth getting the SP and paying extra instead of the original

(sorry, this forum was kinda...uhh... dead, i just needed to light it up again)

I say yes, although I don't have it. I already had a normal Advance. But if I'd buy one now, SP all the way!

Yes. The convienence of the backlight and small, fold-up technology is worth the extra $30-$40.

Someone was going to do this eventually, so I will. If you have a 'Cube, get the Game Boy Player

Unless you really need the portable part of Game Boy.

I'd say yes, deffinatly. Its just so cool, and it seems to me that playing a gameboy game on a TV brings down the experiance. i have no idea why, but for me playing on the handheld has always been more fun than playing on a large screen.

I can only stand to play handheld games on a TV. Just laying there being lazy is best for me. But thats just how I play

Yes...

I could never stand playing the original... The lighting was horrible, it made me not want to play some games, but now, since I own a SP, I always feel like playing GBA games. It's very worth it, and don't forget about the re-chargable battery... You can save a lot of money with that.

It's definitely worth getting. I bought one a few days ago, and it's simply great. I gave my old GBA to my bro, and he says it sucks (the SP is so worth buying that my bro is also getting one). I can't see anything on the GBA now that I'm used to the backlight.

Plus, it has a rechargable battery. But it sucks when you're about to go out and it needs to be recharged.

That's why when you're at home you should use the AC adapter to play.
