Nintendo Just bought an upgraded Gameboy Advance SP and it’s a thing of beauty

[Crazy Jamie]

I saw it on an auction on Ebay that was due to end early in the morning. Got it for £80 when they usually go for £120-£140. Re shelled, backlit screen, improved battery, improved speakers. Tested it out with some Final Fight One and it is just fantastic. Definitely the way I’ll be playing my Gameboy, Gameboy Colour and Gameboy Advance games in future.

Yes, I could have put this in the acquisitions thread, but I thought this deserved a thread of its own.

Looks beautiful, Jamie! I've wanted an upgrade SP for some time, just never been able to make it happen. Glad you managed to grab one and that they're every bit as good as I've heard. Enjoy it!!

Wow, that's gorgeous! I didn't think I'd ever buy a refurbed GBA, but now you're making me second guess that decision haha

So dang cool! I want one too!

By upgraded you mean the screen is custom? I know there was a backlit SP but that screen looks really good.

Yep. Custom screen.
