i mean you could probably get a ds for only a bit more and you can play all the nintendo hand held games on it. is the main answer im going to get be not enough money for a ds?
IMO playing GBA games on the DS just sucks compared to the real thing. Same about GB and GBC on the SP, but GBA1 it's acceptable. I still play all my GBA games on my game boy micro all the time.
I bought the Gameboy Micro after I bought the DS because its so cheap and easy to carry anywhere. Its much easier just shoving the Micro in my pocket and heading off than the DS in my pocket, which leaves a decent sized bulge.
New Gameboy Micro £19.99 in gamestation ($41) -THATS why I bought the Gameboy today! Complete impulse buy, while I was pricing up the DS (Which I'll be getting on Wednesday!) :D
Honestly its more younger kids friendly i trust my son with the GBA more then on do with our DS lite and of course the cost there are still alot of the same games made for both systems.
1. Cheap. 2. If broken, can easily be replaced. 3. Many games. 4. Parents can easily monitor game play. 5. You don't have to deal with the double screen. 6. The DS has a few more buttons that aren't fit for a little boy or girl.

I notice that there are delays is loading on some games. Like when you walk into a building in Pokemon Fire Red, the people are just black figures (or white, I don't remember) for about one second and then the sprite details kick in. It doesn't do that when I play on the GBA but it does on the DS. Not that that's even close to your claim, but it is a con all the same.

I did the exact same thing, carrying the DS around to play GBA games was stupidly annoying, so I bought a mirco just seemed more sense.
theDS has a few more colours and thats all. It is expensive as well, for me it is very expensive and not famous because I live in a poor, developing country (Sri Lanka) So the gba is awesome. Anyway, who likestwo screens? Very troublesome you know.
