Product Description:
The GBA SP is as small as a PDA and more portable than the original GBA. Take your portable gaming to the next dimension with this futuristic new game system! Color- Pearl Blue

Rating : - Best Handheld System!
Finally I got a Game Boy SP again! Previously I had a NES Classic edition but it got jacked by the workers who installed the wood flooring for my home a few years ago.

This Pearl Blue color(which I got) along with Pearl Pink and Graphite were the last model Nintendo made in 2006. Unlike previous colors/models, these later models have a different backlit system. You can't turn the backlit off, instead there is a super bright mode in addition to the regular bright mode. I'm very impressed with this new backlit feature, thanks Nintendo. It was impossible to find a new Game Boy SP, so I had to settle for a used one from Gamestop, I went to many Gamestops to find one that was in the best possible condition without scratches on the clear LCD cover, although many were in good condition but I wanted a GOOD one. The AC Adapter charger is upgraded as well, it's significantly smaller than previous version.

Overall if you want an awesome video game system or handheld get a Game Boy SP! It's portable so you can play at work, beach, book store, on the bed, in the bathroom, or wherever. Make sure you pick the latest color/model plus its battery is fresher too.
