The Game Boy platform (which includes the original unit, the Game Boy Pocket, and the Game Boy Color) came to market when most video game consoles had a life expectancy of just a few years. More than a decade later, the system is still going strong. How did the Game Boy successfully compete--and in some cases bury--an onslaught of faster, more powerful handheld and home console systems? Let us count the ways: affordability, a huge library of games that consistently made the most of the hardware's limitations, smart power management that extended battery life, and uncluttered controls. But perhaps it was the system's ultraportable design that allowed devotees to play video games around their schedule, making it the must-have system for kids and adults alike. Less

A 100% REAL, AUTHENTIC REVIEW BY A GAME BOY ADVANCE OWNER!

bygerper Jun 12, 2001

Pros Great graphics and games! Smaller unit, very powerful
Cons Poor lighting, no backlight
Recommended it? Yes

Normally, hand held games aren?t my thing, as I find that games simply don?t translate well to a small screen. However, I can honestly say that the Nintendo (and it?s no secret that I am not too crazy about this company), has really outdone themselves with the Game Boy Advance creating yet another...

Pros An affordable package, still a next-gen console, still an XBOX 360
Cons No hard drive, DRM
Recommended it? Yes

As an Xbox 360 Premium owner, my brother and I thought a plain Jane Arcade version would be the perfect birthday gift for a friend.  We went halfsies on it, and it didn't end up costing too much.  We figured it'd be nice to have more friends to play with, after all.

Cons Low Memory (but you should buy hard drive)<br>average graphics (getting lots better)
Recommended it? Yes

The Xbox 360 Arcade is meant to be a console where people can play games and have fun. It accomplishes just that. This is a fair price to pay for this package seeing as it comes with everything you need to get started to play. In order to play online you would need to buy a game and an ethernet...
