I dont think Nintendo cares which one you buy. All three (GBA, SP, Player) go to the GBA account. Just more outlets.

The GBA targets the handeheld gamers, of all sorts.

The GBAsp seems to target the cell phone crowd, as well as maybe a bit more adult crowd.

The Player targets Gamecube owners, who dont want to invest in the GBA itself.

I had a charger that I used. Could plug into the car or the outlet (never played anywhere else)

since you can fold the screen down when storing it, the screen is protected from scratches

Is it just me, or is the screen on the GBASP a little bigger than the GBA screen.

I will definately be buying this. And I just want to say that hte headphone jack better not cost extra. That would be so stupid.

I am kinda mad that it doesn't take AA batteries. I just got 72 AA batteries for Christmas.

Maybe you can turn the lights off, should you not need them in the sunlight.

72 Batteries? Why? Haul yourself to Radio Shack or anywhere and buy some rechargeables and a charger for about 30 bucks, tops. Ends all battery problems. I got 4 and a charger from radio shack for Christmas, I love them. I can charge 2 while I use the other 2 in the GBA. Or just buy one of those cheap chargers that are made specifically for the GBA. Just because this things is rechargeable dosent make it worth the cost of it IMO. Now the back light on the other hand...

I tend to get scratches when I am playing the game... And like, I try to switch cartridges and I accidently drop it or something, lol... But when I think about it, I don't have any scratches on my GBA. My big old GB was a different story, lol.
