2007

I had a first generation Gameboy back in the day and played Kirby on it while my parents forced me into the car for long roadtrips to the grandparent's house. This is so much better. I pack it whenever I have to fly anywhere and prefer using it over my iPod. The screen and colors and so vibrant and clear and it is easy to use. Most of the graphics are rather basic but it is a portable gaming device and I like the graphics better than those of the PSP.

I've also found the games that go with it to be fairly priced, also you can find many used games for under $10 at Gamestop or Ebay. The only downside is lack of a standard size headphones jack so when I play on airplanes I have to turn the sound off. I also wish there were brain games like Nintendo DS has to go with it.
