The launch Game Boy Advance....What a piece of shit. Unless I was directly under the sun, I had to assume I was playing a game based purely off of conjecture. I was able to enjoy Fire Emblem by playing it on the DS and DS Lite, but that was as close as I got to enjoying anything GBA related. Never bought a GBA SP. Sold it in the "classifieds" in something called "the newspaper" a few months later.

you're not the sharpest tool in the shed if you purchased a GBA and assumed it be backlit or whatever in 2003, considering EVERY single Gameboy iteration before had been the exact same.

seems like a common trend here is people buying things with literally NO research or investigation. you're basically guranteeing yourself disappointment if you purchase things without knowing what you're getting in advance. its not a pair of pants, these are hundreds of $$$ systems and its up to you to do your fair diligence in advance

Yeah. Silly me for assuming I would be able to, ya know, see the screen. I must be pretty stoopid. And it came out in 2001. I bought it on launch day. I took the knowledge I had on the system, gathered mostly from magazines, and bought it. There wasn't nearly the amount of easily obtainable information in 2001 as there is now. Get off your high horse.
