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.

The GBA screen is the same as the GBC screen. And better than the GB screen. I don't get how you had problems seeing it. If you've used the original GB, Pocket, or color, before it. All the sytems had the same amount of glare problems, when using it in the sun. And the same limited angle. Were it worked under a light bulb. Even the worm lights bounced the same way on GBC and GBA.

The GBA was in fact, my first Nintendo portable. I never felt the others were worth it, even though I was a Nintendo fan. The portable I played the most prior the my GBA purchase was the Sega Game Gear, which I rented for 3 days in 1992. Very limited portable experience until the DS rolled out. It was truely the first portable I genuinly liked/loved, but I imagine the GBA SP could have fit that bill had I tried it. Basically, I've owned a DS, DS Lite, and Vita and think they were/are great.
