IGN: Feature a day #4: Slot number two (GBA)
Read IGN's latest feature a day here.
The two parts I found interesting:
I quote: "It's very difficult to give a visual comparison of image quality between the Nintendo DS and the Game Boy Advance SP hardware, but the difference is night and day: GBA games look much more colorful and vibrant on the Nintendo DS' backlit screens. Not to knock the Game Boy Advance visual quality in any way, but the bright DS screens really make the GBA images shine vibrantly compared to the slightly bluish-tinting of the GBA SP frontlit LCD screens. The extra two buttons, X and Y, are disabled during GBA mode, as is the Nintendo DS' auto-Sleep Mode when closing the system up while the power is turned on."
and: "The slot isn't just for Game Boy Advance games, though. Nintendo plans on using it as an expansion slot of sorts, building new functions into the handheld. If Nintendo, for example, releases a camera for the system in the future, it will most likely plug into the GBA slot."

If the screen looks as good as they say it does, I would love to have a GBA SP with the better looking screen. I don't know if it would just be as simple as making it back-lit like the DS as opposed to front-lit like the SP...
There are a lot of GBA games that look much more brilliant, and you can see much more artistic detail in bright sunlight[thanks to boktai for that realizaion]. Maybe having the screen back-lit allows you to see this detail better.
