After years playing handheld games, I have come to the conclusion that I prefer older Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games over the DS games out now. I want to get one of these retro-styled SP devices, and on amazon.com the new is $260 unopened, the used is $70 with wear & tear, and collectible is around $100 with "faint scratches on the top." I was wondering, are any of the above worth it? If it helps, condition is important to me. Thanks for your time!


Answer:It's hard to say.

As a playable SP then I would just go with an original colour. The retro designs would be best kept as a collectable item rather than be played, but if you want to go with the retro design and play it then just get the 70 or 100 buck one. Eventually it will be damaged, no matter how well you take care of it.

It seems like such a waste to pay extra just for a useless design.


Answer:The Classic NES GBASP is considered a collector's item, so the value of that system will be increasing over time. However, if you're planning on just gaming… you probably want something more common.

Answer:I'd try looking elsewhere. Most people on Amazon are asking too much for their stuff. Although I admit, I don't think I've ever seen one of these myself. So it may indeed be rare and expensive.
