GBA Videos in General:
When I first heard the concept of GameBoy Advance Video, I thought to myself "Why didn't they think of this before?" It gives off yet another reason to purchase a GBA, putting its excellent graphical specs to good use. I own a GBA SP, and have purchased many of these videos. They're excellent for in the car...when not driving, of course. Especially with the lighting of the SP, the screen has the quality of what looks like a high-grade television, the only real drawback being that the screen is small. Even though I don't use it myself, if you have one of those gameboy magnifiers that you look through to give yourself an expanded view of gameplay, you could certainly use it to make the videos look larger. In all, these are great to buy, especially if you own a Gameboy Advance or Gameboy Advance SP, and it will give you another reason to buy one if you don't already own one (let me quickly say that if you're buying a Gameboy for the first time, I'd spend the little bit of extra cash and go for the SP instead of the regular GBA). I also highly recommend the Headphone Adaptor if you own the SP, as it is needed in order to plug in headphones. If you have a regular GBA, make sure you have some headphones to use as they greatly increase the sound experience of the video.

Nicktoon Compilation:
This is an excellent GBA video for the nick-lover, like myself. This was the first GBA video I purchased, and did so knowing that I'd having a few different of the shows I like on it, and could check out the quality/etc. on all of them. If you don't like Nickelodeon, maybe this isn't for you, but otherwise, I'd say this is a wise choice, particularly for a first buy.

Conclusion:
All in all, the whole GBA Video concept is, in my opinion, superb. No extra hardware or anything; you just pop in a video like you would a game, and.....presto! You're ready to go!

Great for young kids!

I bought this video for my 3 kids ages 9, 5 and 3. They had been wanting a video now. I'm glad I waited. They love it! The 5 year old watches it the most. I plan on buying more videos. I bought this one because it had 3 different shows. I hope they come out with more like this one.

Great fun!

My daughter spends hours watching this "video". Whenever we are in the car it keeps her entertained. It is so much easier to carry around than a portable DVD player. I am going to get her more.

Keeps my son busy on long trips!

I bought this for my son for Christmas of 2004. I wasn't sure how often he would watch it. He loves to watch it over and over. It's great for long car trips or rainny days. I'm not sure what the other reviewer was talking about when she said it wouldn't work with her sons game boy advance. I know there are older versions of the game boy, so maybe that's it. This does work with the Game Boy Advance SP.. (the new ones that are squares, not the rectangular older ones).

I bought 4 GB Videos for my boys for this Christmas. I wanted to make sure they worked before I wrapped them. The graphics are great; but the sound stinks. I hear lots of static throughout the video. Adjusting the volume doesn't help. Any ideas on why it would do this? They would be playing them on GBA SP's. Any help would be appreciated so I know whether to give them as gifts or not.

Great

I bought this for my son for Christmas because he wanted the new VideoNow but already has a Game Boy Advance. I figured that this would be just as good. Well, it won't work. The box states that it's not compatible with other Game Boy systems or the Game Boy Player accessory. Nowhere on his Game Boy does it say "player accessory," but the video won't play, showing on the screen that it won't play on a "player accessory." I'm at a loss for what to do now.
