I\'ll buy one but I got complaints.

(1) Why wasn\'t this the original design Damnit!

(2) It doesn\'t look very comfortable.

Other than that, great modern design. Kudos to Nintendo.

The model is not very nice, but the backlight option is what I\'ve been waiting for years.

LiC: Actually, PGC\'s Billy Berghammer (30-year-old guy, i.e. big hands) says the design feels better.

its looks are decieving, it looks like the controls are too close together, but they\'re probably very comfortable.

For the record, the screen is the same size and the E-Reader will work.

However, PGC reports the system won\'t be able to handle tilt-sensitive games such as Kirby\'s Tilt-n-Tumble.

And in my opinion?  Sexy.  I\'m getting one right away!

I think it will feel good.... more like the classic gameboy.

http://www.gamerevolution.com says that it will not work with the E-reader.

That\'s interesting.  It does say that.

Straight from PGC: All accessories work with it, everything. Including the e-Reader.

So there\'s definitely a conflict there.

There might have been confusion stemming from this bit of Nintendo\'s press release:

All current and future Game Boy Advance games are compatible with the new system. And, similarly, Game Boy Advance SP is backward compatible, allowing use with virtually all games and accessories previously released in the Game Boy line.

"Virtually" all.  That might be where E-Reader and tilt-n-tumble games fit in.

But as long as Castlevania, Sonic, etc play on that baby, I\'m there.

Food for thought: Nintendo has confirmed that they will slowly phase out the original GBA design - which would mean, if this didn\'t work with the EcardReader, than the Ecard Reader would also be dead. I somehow doubt Nintendo is killing it already. Then again, it has been underwhelming. I don\'t ever use mine.

E-Reader works with it, but current Tilt-Pak games (Kirby\'s Tile and Tumble) will not.

I like the rechargeable batteries...

That thing is... one of the ugliest things I\'ve seen in a long while. And for something\'s sake I saw a picture of Michael Jackson the other day.

that looks really cool.  kinda pda-ish

I don\'t like it.. looks too "original GameBoy"-ish. I like the design of the one I got, and Im not too concerned about the backlight. The only time I play mine is at work, and well, the lighting there is perfect for GBA.
