Quality

Sound quality is better, the screen is actually visible, i love this thing.

First image has the original version, other images are of the console after i swapped the shell.

Price

I did end up getting an amazing one for a fair price!

Giving the rise on price in these older hand helds, it was nice to find one without issues at a decent price.

Yeah you can find cheaper on ebay and offer up or any other second hand market, but for 110$ it was a decent price for it.

Shipping

I bought a gameboy advance sp from gamergirlz and it arrived very quickly and was packaged very well.

This console came to me fast and in great shape.

I ordered this thing, and when it arrived, i felt on top of the world.

Packaged with care, better condition than advertised and came with charger.

Didn't receive the case or manual seen in product picture

Came with just the gameboy and charger, nothing else.

I would give it 5 stars but the problem is that the sp came with the 001 model.

Sadly for the 110$ price tag you would expect the ags model 101 instead of the 001 version, which is the only downside.
