2 stars (What Year do we Live in?!) - The Advance has no backlight. You would think after Color, they would've put in a backlight. Visibility is horrible even in good lighting. Seriously, what decade do we live in? Get an SP, stay away from this one. 5 stars (GBA = Portable Fun!) - I bought this console on April/May with Yu-Gi-Oh! WorldWide Edition (SDD). This will entertain you for hours without knowing what time it is at all. You can use it anywhere. At home, at hopitals, during traveling, and lots more. The screen is a little more than 2 1/2 inches. The buttons look like the GCN only without the X, Y, Z, CAMERA, AND THE ANALOG feature. All you have are the A, B, SELECT, START L, R, and the Game Pad. You insert the game cartridge on the back of the console. I have to admit one thing, the graphics are not like the PS1, GCN, ETC. It only produces about 65,000 colors at the same time. But when you are bored on the go you won't mind the graphics. All you will care about is how much fun it is. The games are very expensive. They cost $30.00! With that you get 2 PSone games and they have better graphics. So make sure that if you are buying this console, read the online reviews before you buy the game. You will know if the game is good or not. Get this GBA today! 4 stars (Great for everyone) - I bought this for my 7 yr old daughter. She loves it! So do I. I haven't played any video games since the original Nintendo came out. The lighting isn't that great, but we got a light for it and she's gone through 3 pairs of batteries already. I also bought the a/c adapter. ...
