Happy Feet Happy Feet is based on Warner Bros’ upcoming comedy adventure. You’ll jump into the shoes of Mumble, a young penguin born into a nation of singing Emperor Penguins. In this land, each Penguin needs a Heartsong to attract a soul mate. Unfortunately, Mumble is the worst singer in the world… But he is a brilliant tap dancer! Based on the general storyline of the film, the player will be able to experience life from the point of view of Mumble in music, dance and interaction with the friends and enemies of the penguin’s world.
Customer Review: Sadly, a Waste of Money
While this game may be good on other gaming consoles, I do not recommend it for the GBA for anyone of any age. The total time it takes to play the game is less than 2 hours. There are no side quests, there are no special features, and the story is nothing but a super condensed version of the movie. It’s repetative and a complete let down once you finish the game. Somehow, I really thought I would get more than 2 hours of gameplay for spending $30.

Customer Review: Be Safe! Buy This!
This case is the absolute best insurance policy for all PSP owners. Ive dropped my System countless times and i don’t even have to worry about damage. This product is the Best! Theres no other like it, its like a bullet proof vest for your PSP!
Customer Review: not really for the psp2k
i just bought a piano black psp2k (mostly for movies while travelling) and thought this case would offer good protection while in my bag, which it does. the reason that i gave it 2 stars is that one of the best features for my intended purpose was the 270 degree hinge to make a stand while watching movies. unfortunately the psp2k headphone jack is in a place that’s covered (just barely) so there’s no way to use this a stand and have your headphones plugged in. the wireless on/off is also covered so that’s useless as well. i think it should be noted in the product description that this item doesn’t work well (other than protection) for the psp2k. unfortunate.

Customer Review: can only give 1 star as game never turned up
I ordered this game as a birthday gift and as yet the game still hasn’t arrived and now am not expecting it to.I have since heard some horror stories about amazon deliveries and now I can believe them. I have shopped with Amazon for several years and had planned to buy many gifts for christmas but now am reluctant due to probable loss of items. I know people may moan about the ROYAL MAIL but they always delivered my items either on time or earlier than expected.All I can say is “COME ON AMAZON GIVE US A COMPANY THAT DELIVERS OUR ORDERS”. Please don’t let this review put you off the game but instead there are many retailers out there selling it for the same price as Amazon and with them you don’t have to enter the lottery of whether the item will turn up!!! YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WARNED.

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!

Silicon Skin Protective Cover for Sony PSP Console Playstation + Clear Screen Protector + Cloth to clean your PSP
Customer Review: PSP Silicon Skin
I bought a PSP Silicon Skin Protective Cover about a month previously, and in the time Ive been using it I wonder how I did without it. It comes in a variety of colors and fits snugly to your PSP console. The stretchy, soft silicon is very comfortable on your hands for gameplay, the skin itself is so arranged that you can use all your ports with the skin on with the exception of memory stick removal. The back has a mere flap so access to switching games is not impeded. The skin has built-in button covers but they do not make using buttons more difficult, infact they are surprisingly more comfortable than the buttons themselves. Included with the skin is a clear screen cover, which protects the glass PSP screen from scratches and makes it easier to keep clean. The product is excellent and I would recommend it to any PSP owner.
