Ok this is a great little deal here...the console, powerpack ex, wormlight, 2 great games, and the holster. All for just an amazing 200. Now I went on other sites b4 this and I'm not going to say any names (cough cough ebgames cough) but on those sites they cost around the same for only 2 games, the gba, and the powerpack. Granted most of the sites are only focused on games but this is nice. I just wish i found this before I ordered on a different site...oh well.

YOWZA!

I got mine in the mail today, and I was surprised! My dad got me one as a gift, and I didn't know what was in the box. I was so eager to find out what it was. My dad came home at about 5, and I asked him what it was. He said wait till after dinner. I rushed the spaghetti noodles down my throat and said "I'm done!" and I rushed to open the package. When I saw the GBA in the box, I screamed in happiness! I could hardly breathe. I opened everything in the pack and was playing within seconds. The funny thing was that my dad had never taken a bite of one meatball by the time I started the first game. Game Boy advance is proven to be one of the best portable game consoles yet. The color selection is great, the graphics are inexplainable, and the hardest thing to do on a GBA is turning it off.

The game boy advance is probably the most anticipated thing of the year. The Graphics are going to be in a 3D word like mario 64. If you want any screen shots I suggest going to nintendo dot com or ebworld dot com. so for the reader have as much fun as humanly possable

THE PERFECT BUNBLE

First of all let me start off saying GBA is the most powerful gaming system. IT IS BETTER THAN NEO GEO COLOR!! It has 32 bit graphics with a risc prossesor. Even though it is 32 bit that does not mean that the graphics will be as good as playstation but who cares, for a portable gaming system 32 bit is excellent.

I would also like to point out that the screen is a bit darker and it does not glare much. In other words yes you can see what your doing.

AH yes i bet that all of you are wondering about the battery life and of course the sound.

First let me start off talking a bit about the battery. Two AA batteries are required to play GBA but the good thing is that the play time is extended by 5 more hours. That makes 15 hours of non-stop fun.

Now lets talk about the sound! The sound is greatly improved but, for example in super mario advance the characters voices get extremely annoying

Now lets talk about the games. Tony Hawk 2 has the best graphics out of all the games released so far but i would like to add that it is a little bit hard to control. E3 has done a grat job with this game

Supa Mario Advace- you know i actually expected this game to be something new but instead Nintendo really dissapointed me. The game has two original games, Super Mario and Super Mario bros. 2 which are two good games. Well thats about it. Isnt this review pretty good for a 12 year older who only sits around playing gba and computer games! ....

GameBoy Advanced is the greatest thing since Pizza

Nintendo GBA is a modern Marvel; it not only plays the latest games but also all older compatible GameBoy ones! The GBA games have vastly improved since the last generation of GameBoy, both in speed, game memory and graphics - it truly makes this machine a portable entertainment system for all ages and not just younger kids as was the case with GameBoy. Some people like to compare the machine to an older SNES, but I would rather compare the machine to above that of a PlayStation - we have only just seen the tip of the iceberg when it comes to games on this machine. When we compare and add up the entire year worth of trips to the cinema, then this is truly low cost entertainment.

Gameboy Advance is the BEST!

Iv'e always been a huge Gameboy fan. So this is a neat thing for me for my birthday. I think the whole pack is great and the price you just can't beat! If you bought all of the assessories by themselves, it would be well over $200.00. So in other words, you guys have the best price and best value back out there! Need I say more? Oh yeah! I almost forgot! Keep up the great work on this website, ok?

Back Lighting??????

The GBA Graphics are pretty cool if you can ever see them. The GBA has no back lighting and you can not see the screen very well. The NYKO Worm Light that came with the package deal has broken after only using it twice. When it did work it produced a glare on the GBA screen and really was not bright enough.The Sega game gear even had back lighting when it came out years ago. Come on Nintendo 32bit Graphics and no back lighting???? They have left everyone who purchases the GBA to go on a search for some kind of after market lighting that gets in the way and does not provide enough light without a serious glare.

32 Bit?! 3-D!? Tony Hawk!? Uh HUH!

I cannot wait for this puppy arrive in my hands, with Tony Hawk 2, and Super Mario Advance, both packed with great graphics(THPS2's got 3-D, nuff' said), sweet sound, and well...they are fun! I don't see why so many people are complaining about a backlit screen when it would just suck up battery power that is best spent on playing the game! My only real complaint's the size. If you have got hands like mine, you might have trouble with the GBA's size, but otherwise, this is a must buy!

Game Boy Advance: The new "must get system"

Game Boy Advance, commonly known as GBA, is incredible. You hear all of these things about how many bits the processor has, and things like that, and that it has a back-lit screen, but if you don't know computers, that means nothing to you. Picture it this way:

Lets take the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). Got the little picture in your head of the tv screen? Good. Move two of the buttons to the top of the controller, take the TV screen and put it in the center of the controler, exactly proportional. Then shove the Game Boy Color (GBC) system in the back, Insert a battery slot, and add cool effects to it like, for example, the ability to show rain, and 3-D capabilities.

Does this help?

Oh yeah, one more thing. The screen is something called back-lit. That means that it needs ambient light for you to see it. It also means that you will need fewer batteries and less moolah to buy it. What you now have is a system that has the SNES capablities + more, the GBC processor, and a stylish piece of hardware that fits in your pocket. Just as an example, one of the launch titles is Rayman Advance. This is pretty much the same Rayman that came out for the Sony Playstation, 'cept you can "play it on the bus."

fun
