Nintendo
1 of 1 found this helpful What wouldn't I recomend from Nintendo? Give me a minute,..........I am thinking,............Hmmm.
How could one resist Mario and friends. Now availible on Micro, Game boy Advance SP, and Game boy advance. I bought the SP and the Micro for the games, and the ablility to play the games that I like on a screen that I can actually see.
The screen on SP is very visible and easy to play a game on, where as the screen on Micro is small, but very bright. The contols on SP are perfect in size, and, sometimes I have trouble with the controls on Micro, because they are a little small.
How does GBA SP and Micro rate in comparison to PSP. In my opinion, it is like comparing apples to peaches. Although they both are designed to play games, and the controls are very similar, they are still two very different products.
Pros and cons :
* Psp can play movies on both UMD and Sony Memory Stick Duo, provided that the video file is converted to be used with PSP, using special software. ( Video 9 is offered free on line. )
* Nintendo can play movies, but they must be converted to a special file with special software. ( it is often offered with the movie player. )
* Psp has a memory expansion slot ( for Sony Memory Stick Duo )
* GBA and Micro only have a memory expansion slot for SD cards, if the movie player cartrige is purchased.
* Psp displays photos
* GBA and Micro only display photos if the movie cartrige is purchased
* PSP offers wifi access at hotspots
* GBA and Micro do not have a wifi card built in.
* PSP has a great big beautiful screen
* GBA has a nice screen. Micro has a small but bright screen.
* Psp slim = 150.00 to 200.00 Psp 1000 = 100.00 - 200.00 without accessories other than the charger, ( and that is used. )
* GBA = 40.00 - 150, both new and used, Micro 40.00 - 200.00 sometimes with accessories.
* Psp offers a few different colors
* GBA and Micro come in many colors
* Psp does't have any of the Mario Brothers or Donkey Kong games
* GBA and Micro are compatable with most of the Mario and Donkey kong games.
* Psp can be connected to the Tv ( 2000 model only )
Sony is a great product for several things, gaming being one of them, but not considered primary. The games take a couple of minutes to load, which can be very frustrating. However, I do enjoy the UMD movie feature, having wifi access, and having a neat device to store my videos, and photos.
Game Boy Advance SP is for playing games, and, playing games. I know that some people think they want an all in one product, it sounds great. However, the problem with all in one products is that, they are designed to do all, but not one, thing realy well. GBA SP may be a little old, but it is still a great portable gaming console, made to only play games, and play them well.
What would I change about SP? I would add an AV feature so that I could play Super Mario Brothers on tv, and, I would create a cartrige that allows for me to play DS games on SP. Other than those two things, I think that both GBA SP and Micro are fabulous products.

Love Fishies, but can't afford a tank?
Great tank replacement. If you have confined space, and/or can't realy afford a tank, ( let alone a marine tank ), this is a new level in fish entertainment. The cat loves the eel.
