But i would like you all who have GBA to tell me what you like about them?, is it worth getting?, whats the down side if there is one? Can people please gimme your opinions please and thank you! <img src="graemlins/glee.gif" border="0" alt="[Glee]" />

Definitely get a GBA coz there are many good games out there and many more coming (FF Tactics).

The good side about this thing is that it has superior graphic, fluid animation, and great sound. If you use headphone, you can even notice that it has stereo sound.

The only downside, as you might have know from other people already, is that the screen is too dark that you can't see a thing unless you're playing under a direct light.

But from what I've known, this problem has been solved by portablemonopoly, the company that provides internal lighting kit for the GBA. I've also heard rumours that a new GBA has been produced, and this one have backlight.

Very nice machine.... of the games I have, I'd say that Sonic Advance, Mario Advance 2 and F-Zero are the best. Battery Life is superb, Machine is quite light and Graphics Quality is great

However... The system is not good at handling Fighters... its the button placement mainly, as I hate using shoulder buttons for Heavy attacks. In Streetfighter they can be reconfigured, However in KOF they can't. The NGPC is still way better when it comes to fighters.

As for the screen being hard to see... well I've never noticed that, I only play it with my back to a window or when i'm outside

Thank you two very much for the advice!
