4.0 out of 5 stars Great value, December 10, 2003

Considering that the e-Reader usally costs $40 by itself whereas here you're getting it for free, this is a really great deal. Aside from that, the only real negative consequence of buying this bundle is that you're forgoing the Advance SP with its lighted screen and rechargeable battery for its predecessor here.

However, being someone who owns both systems, I will say that the orignal GBA has one major advantage over the SP. That being the controller and buttons are more comfortable for an adults hands due to the wider form-factor, especially the 'L' and 'R' shoulder buttons. When playing first-person shooters like Duke Nukem Advance (a great game by the way), those two buttons are used throughout the entire game to straffe left and right around your enemies. So while the original GBA lets you rest your index fingers fairly comfortably on those, the SP has tiny, somewhat flimsy buttons that are nearly impossible to use constantly and thus it gets uncomfortable even during brief play sessions.

Obviously, with the SP being the newer model of the GBA it still has the most significant benefits. But if you're a grown-up who's in the market for a GBA and you've got a well-lit space to play games in, you would still be well served with this bundle, a very good buy.

This toy/ electronic device, is great! It may not be very educational, but it gets rid of boring hours and it is really fun. I got it for christmas and it was my favorite present. Now, it's great for vacation and when i'm bored.

I bought this for my grandson and all was great until the batteries ran out--he had an adapter from a previous gameboy advance and I thought based on that, that they all came with a plug-in for an adapter--wrong--I wouldn't have bought it if I knew we had to keep supplying him with batteries. It's an important piece of information that I wished was displayed with the description of the gameboy advance when I purchased it. Grandma Jane
