Good place to buy a gamebox advance sp?

I saw a review of this on YouTube. It looks great.

I don't really want to order from deal extreme.

Did anyone here order one? If so where did you get it?

Why no love for Deal Extreme?

Interesting product. My guess is they used the repro GBA SP shells for these. If the LCD's are well backlit, you're at worst getting a GBA SP-101 for $43. The "console" unit is a decent buy at $53. Cons might be that it's only composite video, and not sure how advanced a MAME game can be played with that hardware?

So does it play GBA cartridges or not? If so, how does it do it, just emulation?

I wonder if it's available from DealExtreme's US warehouse. Shipping from Hong Kong takes forever...

I've bought from them a few times and I've eventually received my items, but it took MONTHS!

I got one of those fake GBA SP's with the "brighter backlit" screen a couple months ago from DealExtreme. Yes it does play real GBA carts. It also has 100 builtin-in games ranging from NES, SNES, GBA and homebrew. It's actually very nice, especially for the price.

By the way, they also just recently came out with another GBA clone however its modeled after the shape of the very first gameboy advance. However it does have a backlit screen. I ordered one of these about 2 weeks ago. Seems like a cheaper and easier alternative to modding a real first gen GBA with the afterburner backlight kit.

BTW, the stuff I've ordered from Dealextreme took about 6-8 weeks... not months lol.

And I was going to be the jerk that had to point out the spelling mistake in your title. Never mind.
