Most definetly, Xaimara!
So very true. I imported a Black one to sit along next to my GameCube, and it's the most ingenious thing I've ever come across. Its quite a devious marketing scheme, though. Everyone wants a backlit GBA, but Nintendo won't give it to us. They'll just make another GB with 3D capabilites w/o backlight, and then an improved version w/ backlight. They've done it twice already.
Game Boy > Game Boy Pocket
Game Boy Advance > GBA SP

That's only one complaint. Imho, I actually don't see the big deal with the lack of a headphone jack. I've never used headphones with my GB at all, nor have I ever seen anyone or met anyone who has. Unless you're in dire need for stereo sound, it's not a big deal. It's not like there is voice acting or anything imperative that you gotta hear. Just music...

The previous game boys had a headphone jack. I've used it lots of times and so have my friends. Was it that hard to add another hole into the system to add a headphone jack? Plus its good so that you can focus more on the game.

It's not just a hole. There's stuff that goes inside, too, you know.

WELL D-UH!!!!
Geez, I know its more than just a hole. But its not that hard to have a headphone jack installed on the machine itself instead of buying a jack for it.

Xaimara, have you seen the SP in real life? Like actually held it? The bottom half is nearly a centimeter thick. With the game slot, battery pack, and outputs, there is honestly not a chance in hell you could get one in there. Nintendo offers an amazing official brand of head phones that plug right in w/o the adapter and they're slick as hell!

Yes, Chris I have held it. A classmate of mine has one and I asked him about it. If Nintendo is so great, the person who designed the look for the sp would have found a place to have a headphone jack instead of selling it separately. This is a desperate attempt on NIntendo's part to make more money.

Nintendo need not worry about money, they have a 2 billion dollar cash savings  |

 I'm sure they do. Then they should have put the headphone jack in the damn system in the first place.
