Me too, but like I said in your news post, want to hear what other consumers think about the backlight and if it's really good or not.

Hook me up with that!!

Only when the Leisure Suit Larry series "comes" to GBA will I even consider buying one...





Posted by: SKYHN

The only thing I dont like about this new GBA is the price.



Posted by: AK47

Its only $100 though. Thats more than reasonable.

Man, I thinkt he coolest thing is how the screen folds up so it doesnt get scratched up.. definately something that needed to be addressed (even moreso than the backlight in my opinion).



Posted by: SKYHN

They should drop the price of the regular GBA and put this new one at what the GBA is at now. Ill wait til the price drops before I get one of these.

Is there a thing for GBA that allows you to play MP3s off of like a SD or CF card?



Posted by: AK47

Yeah

I'll dig it up for ya..



Posted by: SKYHN

I wonder if you can use the GBASP off of AC power while the battery is charging, like a laptop, since it uses a Lithium Ion batter(thank god they didnt use Ni-MH).

100$ is almost the same price the GBA launched at.
