Customer Review: Great Memory Stick
Great product, delivers fast transfer speed and is easy to manage. A great item for gamers looking for a pro duo for their PSP compare to other cards out there.

The Game Boy Advance features power that would have been unthinkable back when the original Game Boy was launched. Its 32-bit RISC CPU runs circles around the former machine’s 8-bit workhorse, allowing it to process program instructions much faster. What that means to everyday gamers is more intricate visuals, more simultaneous movement on the screen, and better sound. In fact, the often-annoying bleeps and bloops of old-school Game Boy titles are being replaced with digitised stereo sound. When you first pick up the system, you’ll notice how lightweight it is. It’s a little less than 150 grams, but a little larger than a deck of playing cards. The GBA’s wider shape fits better into a wider range of hands, and the screen is fitted with antiglare technology–you need pretty good light to play by, but you won’t be craning your neck and tilting the unit to see around the reflection of the light bulb in your screen.

You’ll also notice the graphics. Essentially sporting redesigned SNES technology, you’ll see things on the GBA that the big consoles do, such as scaling (making objects larger or smaller) and rotation effects–technological advances that will affect the look of everything from crossing a finish line to scoring a goal to crawling through a dungeon. The extra processing muscle also means you can network up to four Game Boy Advance units together, via the communication cable, for multiplayer fun from one shared cartridge. Because the Game Boy Advance system is backward-compatible, it will play not only its own line of colourful games–including such launch titles as Super Mario Advance, F-Zero: Maximum Velocity, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2, and Kuru Kuru Kurin–but also almost all of the monochrome and colour games that have already been released for the previous Game Boy systems. It seems that Nintendo have wisely struck a balance between size, price, and power consumption. And considering how well the old 8-bit system weathered the decade’s technological storms, the Game Boy Advance seems here to stay. –Porter B Hall

Customer Review: Gameboy advanced…
Bought for my daughter, she found this very good as it was in the exact condition as described and enjoy’s portable gaming when bored. I was impressed as it arrived just 2 days after I bought it, which was useful. Overall I was pleased with my purchase and would recommend this seller and item.
Customer Review: It would be perfect if it had a backlight….
This is great! If you have a plug-in-to-your-TV console, and you think that’s enough, your’e wrong. YOU NEED A PORTABLE CONSOLE!! If you don’t have ?85 for a GBASP, get a GBA. If you dont have ?65 for a GBA, don’t bother for a GBC. Save up. I rated this 4 because it has perfect graphics, perfect sound and perfect everthing else exept IT NEEDS A BACK SCREEN LIGHT! Light magnifiers are good and…. ugly. You can’t see your Game Boy Advance through a light. Get a GBASP if you have ?105 for a GBASP+game.

At first look, you might think the Game Boy Advance SP is a sleek travel alarm clock; when closed, it’s just as tall and deep as the original GBA, but only half as wide. Its clamshell design protects the screen from everyday scratches. Open it up and the hinge will seek out a preferred, pre-set angle (about 150 degrees), though you can open it a bit wider or narrower for your own comfort. The hinge stands up well to lateral pressure.

Many decried the original GBA’s reflective LCD screen and its reliance on external light sources. The Game Boy Advance SP’s main feature–optional built-in lighting–fixes this complaint nicely. The quality of the backlighting is very good; it’s bright and clear when looking directly at the screen, though less so from other angles.

The SP comes with a power adapter that recharges a built-in lithium battery; our informal tests found that it takes about four hours to fully charge (you can play it while it’s plugged in and charging), and the battery lasts about 11 hours with the backlighting constantly on. Using the backlighting less often will conserve battery power.

Size, power, and affordability don’t come without trade offs, though. There’s no headphone jack here–you’ll need a separately sold adapter–and the system isn’t very loud at its highest volume. The L and R shoulder buttons are a fraction of the size they were on the GBA, and thus are harder to hit, and the reduced size of the SP is slightly less comfortable for adult hands than the GBA. The cartridge port placement on the lower part of the console is fine for GBA games, since they are flush with the console body, but older Game Boy Color carts will stick out in a way that takes some getting used to.

Overall, the SP is a significant improvement on, and seems just as rugged as, its predecessor–which has proven to be very rugged indeed. –Porter B Hall

Customer Review: Oh boy I wish I still had mine!
I sold my GBA SP Classic NES edition to help pay for my Nintendo DS. I really like the DS but oh boy do I miss this beauty of a machine. Let’s get the moans out of the way, yes the GBA SP only had a front light and not a proper back light so the screen isn’t as colourful as the DS. And yes, you had to pay extra for an adapter if you wanted to use headphones. But stuff that, this thing is amazing and I miss my old one! So why was it so good? Well the design was spot one. I get finger burn and cramps from my DS light and my PSP when I try to play racing games, never got any pain from the GBA SP. Also this was the last portabl console to have the traditional Gameboy style layout of control buttons under the screen (instead of either side like the Lynx, GG, GBA, Neo Geo, DS & PSP). For some reason I find this layout better, don’t ask me why it just is. Some truths are as unedinable as they are unquontifiable! Next up: the NES design is a winner, easily the best looking console I’ve owned. The DS lite is sleek but this baby had charm. The light weight clam shell design is very small indeed and easily fits into any pocket I ever had. Also the battery life took a mighty wacking on many occassions. But the main reason I loved this console was the games. The great titles just kept coming and coming. I was getting a soar neck from trying to angle my old GBA under a lamp to see them. The GBA SP meant I could actually enjoy my games without hurting myself, which I think you will agree makes a nice bonus! Advance Wars, Mario Golf Advance, Sonic Advance, FIre Emblem, Metroid Fusion, Wario Ware Twisted, Aria of Sorrow, Golden Sun and Astro Boy are as good as the best any system has to offer. In fact I argue that the GBA has a lot more AAA titles then the N64, the Cube, the Xbox or any of the current gen consoles. I still play many of the GBA RPGs and SRPGs on my DS as they are yet to be bettered. But some how they doesn’t quite feel the same as they did on the GBA SP NES edition. If you’ve got one KEEP IT!
Customer Review: one of the best!
I bought one of these the day it was released and I had so much fun with it and had some cracking games for it, notably Zelda! The handheld looks gorgeous, even today, its light and can easily store it in your pocket when not using it! I sadly no longer had it as I got a psp and a DS Lite, and I got to say, for a upgrade from the GBA SP, you got to get the DS Lite, as that can play the GBA games too as well as the many great DS titles that are available to own, but the GBA is still a greta buy today if you just want a handheld with no special features like touch screen. The GBA has a lot of games from all different types to offer and so you can’t go wrong with this beauty!

Customer Review: No Annoying Fingerprints
My only complaint about the original PSP was the gloss finish to the system. I couldn’t hold the system without getting fingerprints all over it and I was constantly cleaning it. I heard about the PSP 2000 and initially I hadn’t planned on buying one. I reconsidered after hearing about some of the improvements. For starters it is significantly lighter than the original PSP and of course it is thinner. Personally I liked the original size of the system. It is much easier to grip but I do like the lighter weight. It allows me to play my games for an extended period of time. The system still uses the gloss finish and now the back side of the system has that same finish (similar to the Nintendo DS). With it getting close to winter it’s not too big of a deal but when summer comes that is going to be a problem. On the plus side if you buy the white or the silver PSP you’ll only have to worry about fingerprints on the screen. The black PSP still has the same problem as the original PSP. I would highly recommend getting a screen protector. The PSP ram memory has been upgraded to 64MB to improve load times. One game I’m definitely seeing is taking advantage of this is Final Fantasy Tactics. On my old PSP this game was plagued by load times. On the 2000 I noticed during battles the action doesn’t pause when a character performs a special move (casting spells or summons, et cetera.) As far as the games themselves loading I’m not seeing a difference. I purchased the Daxter pack specifically for the 1GB memory card so I could listen to my music at work. In the past I would have never used my PSP as a music player but I’ve had nothing but problems with all the mp3 players I’ve purchased. I was considering getting an iPod when I had the idea to use my PSP. I don’t have to go out and buy me a carrying case because I already own one and now I have my games and my music in one device. Wish I had though of that sooner before I threw my money away on all those media players. I have to say the PSP is not a bad music player. The sound quality is about as good as all my other mp3 players. It’s too bad it does work with the Windows Media Player Sync feature. It would have been nice to be able to Sync all of my playlist. Overall the PSP is the best handheld out there on the market… at least in my opinion. Of course it seems I’m a minority in this but it definitely beats out the Nintendo DS. There are just more variety of games to choose from on the PSP than the DS. The games look better and they play better because you don’t have to get used to a new control scheme (I’m referring to the stylus on the DS).
Customer Review: A decent attempt.
As always, when a newer version of a product is released, the finished product falls short of the initial potential. Some things have been corrected and improved. This is an upgraded item with the same price tag as the last version, and it has some decent advancements. The issue here is the fact this was made less sturdy than the previous version, and suffers from very poor craftsmanship. If you have an older version, it may not be worth the cost to play on the TV. The Nintendo DS Lite just went through a similar issue with their latest system. This is what occurs when companys attempt to maximize profits while minimizing cost and overhead without a good balance. And I had a good laugh when someone compared the battery life of this one to the old one; the same game on both runs the battery down within a minute of each other, the oldest version barely outlasting this “improved” version. Better luck next time.

Customer Review: Not worth it! Falls out of your ear…
This item is a disappointment to me. The plugs need to fit perfectly or else they will fall out of your ear. The manufacturer suggests you wrap the wire around your ear. This is very uncomfortable and if the cord gets caught on something it will pull my ear off. They sound good but not great. I wish I bought these in a retail store so I could return them easier, but I guess I’m stuck with them now. I suggest you pass on these.
Customer Review: truly outstanding product providing exactly what I expected
My first thought when I received ease your phones as a birthday present was how solid their construction quality was. Used to the small cords on most earphones this was a thick 12 gauge style cord with an equally thick rubber casing. These earphones also came with a wide range of your pieces and accessories and a carrying case that was also of high-quality. I had been wanting in waiting on these earphones for about a year and I feel disappointed that I waited so long. I listen to many audio books and courses on my iPod and I was extremely disappointed that as a commuter I could not find earphones that enabled me to listen while commuting. With these earphones I am able to do work around the house including use power tools and still listen to my audio books. In this regard these earphones have been absolutely outstanding. I would highly recommend these to any prospective buyers.
