What I'm wondering is whether the, damn incredible, games will be released only compatible with the GBA SP: Retro or whether a GBA Advance/SP will be able to run them as currently that is the only thing making me want to buy the console.

However I will be buying the games!

Retro will be a gameboy:sp with a different design so it will work.

I really want to get it. It reminds me of the good ol' days. :badger:

[Sand-Man]

Nice find, I might actually buy one!

[JackS]

Thanks everybody, so far it seems that the NES games (15-20 quid each! BARGAIN!) are compatible with the current SP and the standard Advance but I mean, LOOK at that design! So cool!

Its just like every other GameBoyAdvance, except it has an awesome new outer-design.

Fatbear bought one just before he moved away. :(

That design just rock0rs...like some strange mod someone who was obsssed with 80s game consoles and game boys would make.

IE-Its fantastic...

i was gonna get it, but then i ended up like 5 dollars short, so i just got a red one

If I wasn't saving up for so many games and DS then I would get it. Instead I'm entering every competition for it I can find :D And for once I think Europe is getting the best version.. Japan has all the cool collector's stuff but I hate the colouring of everything, USA gets usual GBA presentation but with much better looking console, Europe gets the best of both worlds with proper NES style presentation and the cool GBA SP! Woo!

It looks good, but the GBA I really want is the Tribal edition. If plastic was sexy, this'd be Halle Berry.

Goto Gameboy Advance hardware.

Down the page are vinyl covers, they cost about £5 and there are tonnes of designs.

There're also vinyl covers for Xbox + PS2 consoles and controllers

:D

Well I have the old-skool GB Advance and have been thinking about updating to the SP (What with the Back-lit screen and all). So this looks like a decent excuse to buy one.

Birthday coming up. Hmmmmmmm.
