What's that new game boy advance called?

[Argo]

Leaving on a vacation to Europe this summer and need something to kill time on the plane. I remember seeing something about new Gameboy that looks kinda cool (like a PDA), but can't remember what it was called, or if it's available already. Will regular gameboy games work on it?

Never owned a gameboy, so any advice on games/hardware would be appreciated.

gameboy advance SP

edit: yes, regular gameboy/gameboy color games will work on it.

Is it out already? Amazon only allows you to add it to your wishlist.

It's been out for a while and it's selling like hotcakes. Good luck finding em, especially in silver.

If you're looking for games, just look at the pocket.ign.com editors choice pretty much.

Yes.

The top two GBA: SP

To get the BEST HOT DEAL I would visit your local CostCo B&M where they sell GBA: SP bundles,

My local Costco has a GameBoy Advance SP bundle. Consisted of your choice of color SP, Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance2 Game Guide, the Game and a case. All for the one low price of $129 + tax and if you use your AMEX you get 2% back.

I was there about 2 weeks ago and they had the same bundle but the game was: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Four Swords (game book too), same price.

Guessing at what normal retail might be: SP = $100, Game book=$15, Game=$25, Case=$8, Total $148. So you save about $20, buying the bundle.

I picked mine up (one of each) : )

Good idea, you'll save about $20 vs buying the bundle separately.
