I had a GBA SP but it got dropped in the toilet by a friends kid a few months ago and that was it. :\

May as well just wait for a DS now. :)

Just two,

1) one GameBoy Advance when I won it at E3 a couple of years ago

and

2) GameBoy Advance SP (Platinum) just recently.
 
Just the origianl gray GB with Tetris, a white GBA and a GB Player.

I tried getting a SP, but I kept getting them with stuck pixels on the screen so I just gave up.

Not to slow things down here, but how much does EB give as trade-in value for the ORIGINAL GBA? This is without the two games deal they currently offer for the "trade-up" promotions.

Prolly something like $10-$20. It's $30 with two games..

That would rock. I'm trying to get a third unit as a controller for Zelda Four Swords on the GC and a friend is "upgrading" his to an SP. He doesn't have two games to turn in though (he only owns two so far) so I told him I'd pay him trade-in value in cash that he can then use on a Flame Red SP.

It's great to get connectivity for everyone in the house for less than the purchase of an additional controller.

i got dead pixel with my first Classic NES SP on sunday... monday morning i ran out to the funcoland to get it replaced... and it was actually not a hassle, the guy looked at it and saw the dead pixel almost immediately and got me a new one... took 2 minutes!

I've only got an SP, but I sold off my first GBA and my old GB. Why keep them when the GBA: SP is all you need (I may still buy the GameBoy player one day).

I am astounded by the amount of Game Boys some of you own. Good lord.

Myself, I've had four:

-Indigo GBC (eventually given to my brother, who lost it)
-Indigo GBA (stolen)
-Platinum GBA (given to my GF when I got...)
-Cobalt SP

I REALLY want the NES SP, but I don't see that happening financially.
