GBA differences

Just look at the model numbers of the GBA SP.

Best brightest screen - AGS-101

Not as bright - AGS-001

Thanks. I had actually just found it on Wikipedia. Mine's an AGS-101.

The other way is by the color: all of the pearl colors (pearl blue, pink, and black) were AGS-101. I got both of mine (pearl blue) off Craigslist via the color. I would confirm by asking for the model number.

The SP with the brighter backlight is the way to go

I believe the black version AGS-101 is called "Graphite".

I'm pretty sure that is the exact one I have

The front lit version is nice if you want to get a front lit GBC. Just rip the light out of it and put it into the GBC.

Game Boy Player you also have the option of playing via component if you're lucky enough to find a Gamecube Component cable.

I found some from Gamestop for $5 about 6 months ago. I plan to use my Game Boy Player primarily to replay some GB, GBC, and GBA games, but I want to have that best portable option too. I wonder if the progressive scan with the GBP makes a big difference though. I guess just less messing with the signal.

I'd be suprised if Gamestop would have a GBA. I would stick with ebay and amazon and be patient for the right price. Check half.com too.
