If so, what is the difference between a Gameboy Advance and a Gameboy Advance SP? Can you get them in Hong Kong or the UK?

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GAMEBOY SP AND A GAMEBOY ADVANCE SP?
2006-07-26 22:30:42 · update #1
I am guessing you want to know what the playing difference is, not the looks difference. Well, majorly, the GBA only plays GBA games while the GBA SP allows you to play the old GBoy and GBColor in addition to GBA games (the entire spectrum).
As to getting it in HK/UK, you should definitely be able to at any game store. It has been out for a loooong time. ;p
As for the Micro, that is an even smaller version of the Gameboy and I think the price is similar. However, my only gripe is that my eyes get tired faster than on a regular GBA SP.
If you really don't like the smaller screens the GB line offers but still want the games, you can get a GBA emulator that plugs up to your Gamecube (if you have one) and you can play the games on the TV. You lose in portability but I think its more fun (my opinion). The price for that is also somewhat similar depending on what you want. Just GBA games would be about US$30 and the play-all one should be about US$50-60. Check out the price where you are and see if you can find a place that sells used games and console, they might happen to have one.
Hope this helps and good luck.

Gameboy Advance SP has a flip screen, chargeable battery, and a light up screen for playing in dark areas. Some see SP models as a little make over way for Nintendo to make a few extra bucks once people stop buying old, original versions (Gameboy Advance), which of course aren't as pretty as SP versions. Expect a Nintendo DS SP which is much shinier than the normal DS pretty soon.

Yes there is Gameboy Advance SP. Unlike the Gameboy Advance it has a front let screen, smaller in side and a recarable battury. Otherwise it is the same.

The gameboy advance SP is the one that kinda folds up ie the sceen is in the lid?
The gameboy advance is more of a rectangle type shape with the screen in the middle.
You can by them in the UK, try ebay for some real bargains. With the Nintendo DS & DS Lite coming out, you can pick them up quite cheaply.

A gameboy advance SP is the same as a normal advance, but it is square, and it folds up (rather like a flip phone). it also has a lit screen, so you can play in the dark! And an onboard re-chargable battery. I got mine in the UK, from Woolworths a few years ago, but they will definately sell them in hong kong too.
