Re: Best hardware revision of all time?
Speaking of the GBA SP, how much better is the AGS-101 versus the AGS-001?

The DSLite, the only handheld I bought brand-new.

For me, difference was like night and day :SBoneSnapDeez wrote:Speaking of the GBA SP, how much better is the AGS-101 versus the AGS-001?
I never realized it, but my first SP that I bought at a garage sale back in high-school was a 101 model, I had long since sold that unit and bought 2 or 3 001 models years later. I didn't realize how big a difference the screen was until I recent stopped by a local pawn shop and bought a fully boxed 101 unit.
Basically, the 101 unit has the brightness and clarity of the GBMicro, with the size of the original SP screen.
If you aren't having a good time, why are you playing?

Much, much better. The refresh rate is a tad worse but the screen is just fantastic. Totally worth it to hunt one down.BoneSnapDeez wrote:Speaking of the GBA SP, how much better is the AGS-101 versus the AGS-001?

The 101 screen is pretty much the same quality as the DS Lite screen. Clear, crisp, and bright.RyaNtheSlayA wrote:Much, much better. The refresh rate is a tad worse but the screen is just fantastic.

Xbox 360 S is the best revision to me. Now they're actually pretty durable.

Re: Best hardware revision of all time?
Whats so special about PSone? Only the first Playstation models had heating problems and the size difference beteween PS2 and PS2 Slim is a lot bigger. And why is NES toaster worst hardware revision? Its not even official so I dont see how you could include it in a list like this. Famicom to NES is probably the worst hardware revision of all time alongside C64GS when it comes to game consoles.BoringSupreez wrote: Best hardware revisions:

The ps2 slim has drawbacks with compatability and difficulty modding with a hdd.

Re: Best hardware revision of all time?
While I totally agree with the Wii, Why was the SNES Mini worse? That's what I have, and I'm very satisfied with it, though I never had the original model to compare. Also, what makes each Genesis remodel worse than the last? I have the original (I REALLY wanted those giant "16-BIT" letters).BoringSupreez wrote:The 101 screen is pretty much the same quality as the DS Lite screen.
