1. GBAs used to cost that much when they first came out.
2. The improvements cost money.
3. So it doesn\'t kill the old GBA\'s sales.
4. Greed.
5. Monopoly of the handheld market.

Edit: From what I\'ve heard, the screen is the same size as the old GBA.

*Dusts off old topic* Ok, I hate bumping up old topics like this, but since it already exists, better to bump than to create a new one, right? ...yeah....

Anyways, it was today that I truely found the genius behind this thing. I was in Math class today. Mrs. Neal was talking about...who know what, we\'re all asleep, staring foward.
Then I relise Matt isn\'t asleep yet, instead I see a pocket sized, lighted up, hidden game of Metroid. Its so furtive, he actually didnt fall asleep in math class!

Now thats an invention, they only downside, $100

*drool\'s* I need one of those!But i\'ll need the head phone thing bbecause im just used to having headphone\'s on while doing anything with eletronic\'s.

I s\'pose that it was so small that they couldn\'t fit the headphone thing inside it. That\'s why they use the adapter. The advantage with headphones is that you can have Dolby digital Surround Sound with them. It does help it the thing you\'re listening to has the ability to create the sound, though. Otherwise, it dosn\'t make much difference.

I\'ve been thinking. Regardless of how well the hinge is made it has to at least eventually get loose. I wouldn\'t want that. And why should I pay $100 for this when I could pay less than half of that for one of those GBA back lights you install yourself? (yes, I trust myself with a soldering iron.)

Which reminds me. Which stores would carry those things? And if none, then where might I find one? I just imagine that as there are more GBA-SPs out there, dark games will become more and more acceptable. I\'ve got to remedy that before it becomes a problem for me.
