Darn Sexy, April 21, 2004

This review is from: Game Boy Advance SP - Platinum/Onyx (Limited Edition) (Video Game)

man, this color it rocks so much. black and platinum matches very well. many people thinks it's goofed up, but when you hold it, man, does it feel and look nice (especially closed). ok, firstly (yes, it's a word) the sound is louder than the original gameboy advance due to the follwing: it's centered on the system and the holes are bigger, letting more sound project out, while on the original the second layer of plastic covered the sound completely, so it seemed muffled (compared to GBA SP). Second, the light cover all the area of the screen. the bulb is mostly at the bottom of the screen lighting upward. third, the buttons are more "precise"; they're more low, giving a nice click feel to it, think playstation 2 power button. fourthly, the folding of the system. ingenious. Just wish the screen can stay still when going past the preset position (see image). whenever a small thrust occur to the screen toward the body, the screen snaps back to the preset position. irrating if you want to hold/have the screen vertical/ly (like the GBC). Finally, it feels very expensively made, not like the cheapness of the original GBA. Sure the original is more comfortable, but you'll get use to holding the flat lower section in no time. btw, all SPs have glitter on them, if you're wondering (i was).

My Game Boy Advance SP, January 25, 2005

I got the Game Boy Advance SP on Christmas. I loved it! I was excited to play with it. My GBA SP is the Platinum/Onyx version. I thought those two colors go together well. The SP itself, I loved the fact that it had a lighted screen. I have a dark house so I used it regularly. The charger is a great step in gaming. Since I'm hooked on this thing I use it often. The clamshell design is brilliant but I am taking no chances with this thing. Screen protectors are the first thing on my mind. For a moment I was worried about the compatibility with E-Reader compatible games. Nothing to worry about. This is a must have, get it now. I was lucky to get the dual color one, but no matter which color you get you will have hours of fun!!!!!!!

Limited Edition SP = My new best friend !, April 10, 2004

This review is from: Game Boy Advance SP - Platinum/Onyx (Limited Edition) (Video Game)

This has got to be one of the coolest things Nintendo has made. The Gameboy has been a part of gaming since the days of the original Nintendo. It has seen many shapes, sizes and most of all, colors. After 15 years Gameboy is still king of portable gaming. Now here we are with yet another Gameboy Advancement...known as the Gameboy Advance SP.

When I first seen the Gameboy Advance, I thought it was great, like having a mini-super nintendo. But, the one thing that bugged me was how dark the screen was...I mean come on, no built-in light? Well Nintendo must have heard the calls of despair and answered with the Gameboy Advance SP...a Gameboy Advance with added features and a sleek new look.

One of the most notiable feature and worth getting the SP for, is the built in light. No longer do you have to hunch under a lamp to play. Now, you can play in ANY lighting situation with ease. Plus, the built in light causes no glare and also enhances the graphics of the game by providing so mush more clarity. You'll see what I mean when you turn the light on and off during gameplay for comparison. Another cool feature is that it folds up like a mini notebook computer. This protects the screen which a BIG plus for kids or gamers who are a little rough with their things.

The GBA SP also features a rechargeable battery pack. Just plug it in the wall with the included charger. Now...some one mentioned that this is a bad design by Nintendo since they don't sell a universal voltage adaptor for foreign countries. BUT, I have a solution for our friends who do traveling to other places on the globe. Nintendo sell replacement SP batteries for $10. For the price of a standard GBA game you can get 3 batteries plus with the one you got with your GBA SP, that makes a total of 4. A battery fully charged will last 10 hours with the light and nearly double without the light. So with 4 fully charged batteries ready to go before your trip, you'll have a good 40 - 70 hours of solid gameplay. All you need is a mini screw driver to remove the battery cover. This should last you til you get back to the states.

One last thing is that you'll notice the SP has no headphone jack. But Nintendo along with other 3rd party companies sell headphone SP adaptors to let you use headphones. Plus they are very inexpensive...I got mine for $4.99 with headphones included.

Now, with all these cool features, Nintendo has finally perfected the Gameboy. But it makes me wonder...what took so long?

This review is from: All In One Link Cable (Video Game)

I bought this all in on cable so that I could battle my friend on his gamecube on pokemon XD. However, when the connection screen showed up it said to save your pokemon game at a pokemon center. I saved it at the center, and connected at the same moment that this cable was detectimg the connection it automatically stopped the connection and said i didn't save properly, AND ON TOP OF THAT IT DELETED MY WHOLE POKEMON SAVED FILE, and now i have to start all over. Bah! I wouldn't buy this cable, maybe you should get a brand name one.

This review is from: Gameboy Advance SP Case (Video Game)

For a carrying case, it's great for storage of games and a charger, even with other consoles. However, my gameboy sp, while in the case, was not protected well and somehow had the screen broken. It cost me $60 to fix, so I no longer use this case for traveling. I recommend a hard case for those who want more than just storage and good looks.

This review is from: Gameboy Advance SP Case (Video Game)

This is a handy a protective way to take ur sp on the go without losing any of the games and keep the sp from getting scratched. It has compartments for games and a holder for the sp. It is so big that if u run out of space in the compartments for games u can just put them in the case. The only thing that i do not like about it is that it is huge, it is annoying to carry around such a bulky item. It is handy other than that.

Don't own a PS3, but bought this to use with my TiVo and it works GREAT! Much better then having a full sized keyboard when I only need to use it on occasion and it's 100% better then using the TiVo remote and TiVo GUI to enter text.

This review is from: PS3/Wii Portable Keyboard (Accessory)

This is a good keyboard if you're looking for something compact to use for your console web browsing and web messaging. Unfortunately, it's fairly heavy (uses batteries), so it's difficult for me to add it to the controller and actually play games with ease. If you have even moderately large fingers, you'll often be pressing the wrong key and the back button doesn't work while typing. The piece of plastic used to attach the keyboard to your controller is also extremely hard to remove. (off the keyboard itself, not the controller)

Solid item, but I wouldn't buy again.

This review is from: PS3/Wii Portable Keyboard (Accessory)

I purchased this item recently and let me tell you....I'm impressed! The PS3/Wii Portable keyboard is small, sleek and easy to use. Since I already owned a keypad for my Xbox360, i badly wanted something similar to that for my wii instead of having to buy a full sized keyboard. With this item i can now browse the web on Wii's internet channel and easily type what i want much quicker than i would with the wiimote. This item also comes with two attachments. one for the PS3 and one for Wii. It runs on 2 AAA batteries and surprisingly, this doesn't restrict you from using the shoulder buttons on the wii classic controller as i would've thought. Even the Z buttons arent inaccessible. this also has an ON & OFF switch on the side so as not to waste the batteries power. It may be confusing for some to use at first but you get the hang of it. All you have to do is remember to hold the SYMB button as a shift button and you will not have any problems. Overall this is a great product and i highly recommend it!!
