here is a quick review, the sound is like 10x better than old game boys( but you do need a pair of headphones to get the true stereo sound) but the stock speaker does fairly well, the graphics are phenomal, but due to the lack of a backlight option you need to be in the right position to see the screen clearly,(its just a matter of time before they realize that ppl want backlite and not battery life) speaking of battery life they last from 15-20hrs and when they are low the power light will go from green to red telling you its time to change them. as far as dimensions go if you take a game boy color and turn it on its side thats esentailly the same size as the gba but gba is a bit thinner, the screen is massive, its basically a screen with controls on the side but still very nice. thats all for now!

I couldn't find one today. I found out it wasn't backlit. You'd think nintendo would learn. Should at least have included a light if it's not backlit.

It's smaller than I expected. For $89, it's just 20 bucks more than the color one.

if you want a light source buy a worm light(the one made by nyko not those cheap imitation ones(blob light,ghost light ect...) works fine for only $5.

Finally played it today. Played Dogdeball and the Namco Classic games. Pretty cool. I also tested my old games. I didn't understand what my bro meant by carts half the size until I saw it.
