"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
Wow, replacing the batteries twice a week? How much do you USE the thing? I think I've only had to replace GB batteries twice a week several times in my whole life...
Oh, and I don't pay for batteries. My parents buy them for me...
Oh, and I've never seen the need to use any kind of lighting device in lit rooms.
Now... as for GBC games. Yes, they are very, very dark. I noticed that immediately. GBC games are dark. Not unplayably dark by any means... but dark.
And not a dark you can fix with a lighting device. All a light does is light up the black areas... because its not a lighting problem! Its a problem that the GBA color palet is bad for GBC games and just shows up ... dark!
Now maybe the GBA-SP light helps there, but I can't imagine that it suddenly makes those dark to black textures appear... it'll just light up the dimness a bit better.
Honestly... for GBC games I think I'll stick to my GBC.
Now as for original GB games, they look just fine... they look EXACTLY the same on GBA as they did on GBC. Why couldn't they have done that for GBC games too? It makes no sense...
The Gameboy used four shades of grey. GBC games look bad on the original GBA because of the system's dark screen. The GBC's screen is brighter than the GB's screen, and the SP's screen is brighter than the GBA's screen. So all Gameboy games look great on an SP.
It's most likely because the original Gameboy games are black and white, which is easier to see on low or high contrast screens, while the GBC games were made especially with the bright GBC screen in mind and most colors are more sensitive to different contrasts. Or something, I dunno. All I know is that GBC games look better on SP's than they do on regular GBA's.
Don't mind him. Most here find the wide screen mode on the GBA useless. Well, me included. But I can see how some people would like it anyway. Bad grammar? Yes, but I don't care about grammar!

Even ABF could tell it was a frickin' joke. How can I be a hypocrite when I never really was a grammar rodio person in the first place?
Wait, I think you are joking now...

Well I knew for sure it was a joke because you were talking about it in MSN and said how you like to sometimes 'debate' for no reason and weren't being serious here... which kind of made me know it was a joke. :)
Looks more like ABF and OB1 are arguing to me. I stopped responding to him yesterday.

Amen to that, bubba. I'd love to see the look on his face when he finally gets a good, long look at an SP. Although he'd never admit to us that it was great since that would be admitting that he was wrong, and that would just be cuh-raaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy!!
I've seen SPs in store demo stands, but that's not really the same... but I just don't see how a light would make such a dramatic difference. I don't have any problems with the brightness of the GBA except for its problems with GBC games.

Of course you won't see a dramatic difference at a demo-stand in the middle of a very well-lit retail store.
You need to take it into a den or bedroom at night. THEN you will experience the epiphany.
