September 2015 - Summer is over. Let's get condolence stuff!
Superchop:
Being in a gba phase, I managed to pic up a couple gba sp's. I'm not much a fan of its size and much prefer a normal gba but this sp I couldn't pass up.
Picked up a pretty beat up backlit version so I can swap the innards...I put the front lit one in a new shell off of eBay and hopefully can sell to recoup a bit of money lol

That's my original SP :D I gotta get a 101 screen to throw into mine, my other 3 (need to play Crystal Chronicles or 4 Swords Adventure after all!) are all 101's so the NES version is the odd man out.
I prefer SPs but I feel I'm in the minority... the folding was nice, the hands being close together is like what an original Game Brick felt like to me, and the rechargeable battery was a great plus.

Just so you know, you don't replace just the screens, you do a complete shell swap. I've already did the 101 swap to my NES GBA SP.

I'm with you. I much prefer the SP over the original. I want my buttons below the screen rather then either side.

Definitely not. I can't stand the original GBA anymore. Nothing against Wiggy, but I can't believe people would rather have him mod a regular GBA with a backlight. I say throw that thing in the trash and get an SP.
