This is worse than GBASP. sure micro has a brighter screen but nintendo is making a brighter screen for SP so it is just as bright as micro. This thing dosen't play other game boy games and DS games. And the screen is smaller than the orignal game boy screen. You can get a cheaper SP with more bulid in stuff. This is a bit pricerier than the current sp price. The system was designed badly. Lets just hope that game boy evolution does alot better than Micro and SP.
