I received a Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP for christmas about 5 years ago.  At the time, I didn't think I would use it much, but it was a nice toy to have; I was in college, and sometimes time between classes drags (and time in class was even worse somtimes), so I started carrying my lime green GBA SP in my backpack.

Before long I realized how much I enjoyed having it with me for a quick time killer; I don't get dedicated to a particular game the way a lot of my gamer friends will, but the SP is perfect; one of my favorite games for it is Ms. Pac-Man, part of the "Namco Arcade" game cartridge for the GBA.  It's quick, it's classic, and it's a Pac-Man, for crying out loud!

That's not to say that it doesn't pack a punch.  The light-weight games that I play in the short times between events are fun, but they aren't the limit for this little pocket-console; the GBA SP is far advanced beyond the early consoles, and even stands its ground against something as modern as the N64.  The sports games I've played with it, the flight games, and the adventure games all have great graphics, challenging storylines and tasks, and great repeat-playability.

I love this Game Boy.  I have a Wii also, as well as a PS2. This fits in well with them.
