Default Re: is the GBA SP worth getting??

It's deffinately worth getting! I play mine everywhere. In bed, at work, whilst I'm taking a pooh... you know.. EVERYWHERE. HOWEVER, there is a little problem I've encountered. When I want to conect it to my gamecube (like in Zelda for example), theres an issue I've encountered. The left and right flippers get covered by the connection cord. Maybe there is another cord out there that I can use, but I haven't seen it. I am tempted to get another regular Gameboy Advance (non SP) so I can use it solely for the connectivity.

One the official one? I have a Nyko one that I use for the cable, and the morning I got the SP, I went downstairs for some hot Connectivity action.. but the L and R buttons were pushed down. I pondered buying the official cord, but nah.. there aren't really any games that use those buttons, are there?

Anyways, if they're supposed to be pressed down.. then I won't need to buy another one just for FF:CC.

Don't buy another cord untill you really need one. I think rottwylor said that the buttons got covered and not pushed down...

i got one for christmas and i like it A LOT better than my regular GBA.... i have a connector (can't think of brand right now) that is only as wide as the slot it goes in (it does not cover up the trigger buttons. It also does double duty as a GB to GB connector.
