maddjax2 Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 For DD10, would you get a regular gameboy SP or advance or a nintendo DS lite? Hoping for a BF special on one or the other. Will the DS play gameboy games?
mrn8 Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 The DS Lite only plays DS games and GB Advance game packs. The SP will play the original Game Boy and Game Boy Color games.
amyers12345 Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Thanks, I was wondering the same.. so all of our gba games will play on the ds?

VaderGCP Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Playing a GB ADVANCE game on a DS Lite becomes a matter of aesthetics. The original DS plays ADVANCE games too and the cartridge doesnt stick out like on the DS LITE. On the DS LITE your ADVANCE cartridge will stick out about 1cm from the handheld. It seems like nothing but believe me...it does look kinda ugly. Ive rarely seen people play ADVANCE games on a LITE
oneredhonda Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 SAY that info is good to know!! We are thinking about a ds to replace a GB advance for my 9 (almost 10) yr old son. Are the DS's (lite and regular) price controled? I have been seeing them all about the same price. I was hoping for a great deal on BF but I am wondering if I should just buy now to besure we have one.
VaderGCP Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 With the new black and pink ones just released a couple of weeks ago it'll be hard to find those for the holiday season for sure. I'm also sure Nintendo itself wont drop the price of the LITE, not sure about the original. You may see lots of stores bundle their originals with accessories or games to get them the hell out of their stores. *whispers*the original ones are kinda ugly. But they're extremely tough. Sometimes I dont want to play my LITE because its just too nice.

I hope they bundle them like you said and get them out cheaper!
aj2005 Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 Which would be the best for a five year old? I found a bundle package -pink GBA SP with two games (Dora Spy Adventure & Disney Princess) for 99.00. This is the first year she has asked for any "games" and I didn't know if she was ready or what to get!! :)
amyers12345 Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 Rumor has it that WM will be running the GBA SP for $30 on BF. Toys r us runs b1g1 sales off and on until christmas. That would get you everything for about 60.00. That's rumored, but I figure they will be somewhere in the 35-45 price range. They always are!

I want one for myself!
aj2005 Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 I found the "Girls' Suitcase Bundle at (Game Boy® Advance SP)" at Circuit City. This is what is included for 99.99 • Pink Game Boy® Advance SP • Disney Princess game • Dora the Explorer game I thought that this was a pretty good deal!

johjstc Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Wow, I hope I can get one, they are currently out of stock. I hope so too. My daughter wants one. I looked online and didn't see any.
Vickis3js Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Go to the store and check or call and see. I went on-line and it said OOS but went to the store and they had 2 of them. My DD will be so excited!
