Talen · Jan 8, 2003

Is it just me or does the d-pad on that look really short? I wish they had gone for a horizontal layout myself, and perhaps a ngp style stick, but it looks really sweet as it is.

Shred · Jan 8, 2003

Now those pictures make me actually want one of these.
One question what would be the difference between getting an Import one and waiting until they are released in the states? Anything other than getting it sooner.

Magician · Jan 8, 2003

My only concern is, what happens when the battery life ends(est. 3 yrs)? Will I be able to buy a new battery or will I have to buy a new GBASP?

Being a lithium-ion rechargable it should last longer than 3 years. I have had my Clie longer than that and the battery is still fine.
And doesn't that screw in the center of the back in this picture look like it is holding a door closed?

Maybe they should have gone with AA batteries.
If your battery runs out, and you want to play, you have to wait 3 hours to charge.

If it was AA, you could just put in new batteries.
(and let the old ones charge if rechargeable)

Is it me or the screen size of the new version is slightly smaller than the original one?

Its just you...the screens are the same size...

BlackSpy · Jan 8, 2003

The door does indeed conceal the rechargeable battery, I don't know if its a standard sized one but I'd bet it is.

Spike Spiegel · Jan 8, 2003

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Looks neat! Nintendo sure has a knack for making cool little items that you just gotta have.

Well, it's the same deal with a cell phone... If you need to make a call but you didn't charge your phone you're screwed. All this means is you'll need to get in the habit of charging when you're not playing and you'll be fine... I think a rechargable battery is a great idea, and as long as it comes with a plug to charge it (which I'm assuming it does) this idea certainly sounds better than feeding the thing batteries.

I am so getting one of these. I'm so glad I held off on getting an afterburner kit now, plus the screen on my old GBA got scratched and I was thinking of replacing it. For the cost of a replacement GBA, the afterburner kit and the cost of labor to install the thing, this new GBA ends up being basically free... Awesome.

Neon_Sonic · Jan 8, 2003

I think it looks really cool, so I'll probably want to get one, but my real concern is that with this coming out, it'll be harder to sell my original GBA so that I can by an SP. The L and R buttons also do look kind of funky. Still, a back-light GBA without the risk of screwing up is almost too good to pass up. The folding feature will also help prevent having the screen get scratched.

BRANDI · Jan 8, 2003

Lovely, absolutely lovely... but it's true that the U.S. market won't see the black version (only blue and silver)?!? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

NebraskaDragon · Jan 8, 2003

The problem with rechargeable batteries is if you charge them before they are completely dead you can trash a battery real fast.

DIY · Jan 8, 2003

Stupid question:
if i get the GBASP, will I need a converter to plug the charger into my wall?

Nope, it comes with an AC adapter. So you see, the $99 price tag isn't so bad after all.

BTW: Happy birthday man!

Thanks, I got $100 which goes towards this nice system and some shirts which I will never wear.

I got the answer from Talen, I guess japan has the same voltage that the US does so no worries.

NO!!! Say it isn't so!

Snooptalian · Jan 8, 2003

I just pre-ordered mine from NCS. I got the black one. Can't wait to get it.

Force · Jan 8, 2003

Wow. it comes with an AC adapter? I'm sold. Gimme!

Is it just the same system with a different design and lighted? It ain't more powerful or anything like that?
