My problem with the Game Boys is I'm too old to be able to see the damn screens lol...the DS just has 2 screens that are the same size as the SP, right? I'm waiting for the PSP...that's a bigger screen, so I'll be able to actually SEE that. Ive got an SP...but I really don't use it much...just too damn small. |

What is it? Its a new, more advanced type of Gameboy. It can do 3D and is about as powerful as a Nintendo 64. It has two screens, and the bottom one is touch sensitive Network The only thing you can do with it is try to do is to find other players in the same area. My router detected it, but there is no games that allow internet play / functionality…yet. So, it can do nothing w/ your network for now, but it has the capacity to in the future. Comparison to the GBA Its about 2X thicker than the GBA, and 1.5X wider. The two screens are backlit type and NOT the forward lit type of the SP (which is inferior). Also, this comes with a standard plug in / rechargeable battery. It can play GBA games but NOT GB games, like the GBA can. This thing is awesome, not for the graphics, but for the touch screen play feature. It adds a whole new dimension to the play. |
Big +1 on the PSP... I'm waiting on it as well. |
Thanks for all the info, sounds pretty good. Is the touch screen play while holding the unit or do you have/need to set it down? ByteTheBullet (-: |
