Gameboy Advance SP is a Hit!

Grandma gave my son a Gameboy Advance SP unit about 2 weeks ago, and I'm pleased to say he gives the unit a thumbs up. The SP is small, compact and also very 'cool' looking. One thing that always bugged me about my son playing the other Gameboy models (and believe me, he has them all), is that the screen seemed so hard to see -- I worried about his eyesight getting damaged! The screen on the SP is fully backlighted and the quality of the display is fantastic. Don't ask me the techie stuff, but I think this has a more powerful display. Interestingly, you have to use a rechargeable battery instead of traditional batteries with this unit. I haven't decided whether that is a good thing or a bad thing yet. The charge lasts pretty long -- they claim from 10-18 hours, but it takes a full three hours to charge it up. I also understand these are currently hard to get -- if you want to really make your little gamer happy, pick up a Gameboy Advance SP for them!
