The Game Boy platform (which includes the original unit, the Game Boy Pocket, and the Game Boy Color) came to market when most video game consoles had a life expectancy of just a few years. More than a decade later, the system is still going strong. How did the Game Boy successfully compete--and in some cases bury--an onslaught of faster, more powerful handheld and home console systems? Let us count the ways: affordability, a huge library of games that consistently made the most of the hardware's limitations, smart power management that extended battery life, and uncluttered controls. But perhaps it was the system's ultraportable design that allowed devotees to play video games around their schedule, making it the must-have system for kids and adults alike. Less

My son has upgraded from this but we decided to keep it around the house & it still works as good as day 1.  I think it would be more for younger kids (10 & under) due to the games that are available. Read full review »

I like the configuration of this Game Boy the best out of all of them.  Unfortunately, the non-backlit screen is a real downer for me.  We'd take these on long car trips and they'd be useless unless you had one of those light accessories and even then they were difficult to see. ...

Say Yes to DS(i)

Pros New camera/MP3/photo-editing tools; small but handy design tweaks.
Cons Matte finish is somewhat icky and dirt-prone; not worth an upgrade for Lite owners.
Recommended it? Yes

As much as I’d like to be a hip, edgy early adopter, I’ve come to accept that that’s not really who I am at heart.  My inherent thriftiness prevents me from splurging on the newest thing for its own sake, so I’m usually left wistfully admiring the cool gadgets of others.  The DSi is no exception –...

I absolutely love my new DSi.  We are a family of 4 and each one of us has our own DSi.  It is great to play multiplayer games such as Mario Bros, sims racing, Mario cart etc.  Perfect because as long as you are in the same area you can connect your DSi's...no need for internet...
