hi guys, my friend says the gba sp sucks because if you play it for more than 30 minutes, it cramps your friends up. i'm saying to myself wt? I'm looking to buy one. For those who have a gba sp, please give me your insight on how they are. I'm thinking to myself, for something that's a lot more portable and with a light, it's a lot cheaper than buying a gba + afterburner kit.

Some of my friends get TERRIBLE cramps whenever I play my GBA SP.. Others get diarrhea.. I promised them that I would stop playing but the damn thing is addictive!

I played a friend's GBASP one evening for over an hour, and I had no problem with my hands cramping. Does your friend own an SP? If so, see if you can buy his. If not, what is he making his judgements on?

I find the GBA Sp's small design hard to hold, doesn't really cramp up my hand just hard to use the L & R Buttons at the top

I'm pretty sure the I-O psychologists and engineers that Nintendo worked with tested to make sure this wasn't a problem.

Nope. Possibly if you're an X-Box controller lover because you have gorilla hands though.


The L/R buttons are a bit small, but it's not a problem as long as you're not molesting the damn thing.
