I'm selling my PS2 for a GBA SP. Problem is it's my dad's 40th birthday soon.
Here are the choices:
GBA SP 2nd Hand
GBA SP tribal edition
GBA SP NES edition
GBA SP

So what should I get?

You're selling your PS2 for a GBA SP...

...I find so many things wrong with that...but I won't even begin on it.

If it was up to me, and I doubt I ever buy one, it'd probably be the NES edition.

Why sell your PS2... It never did anything to you

But anyways, I would go for that retro GBA SP NES edition, It looks so nice and... retro

I gotta go with the rest and say it's not worth it to get rid of your PS2 here. Unless you're playing Four Swords or Crystal Chronicles, a GBA SP can't do anything your computer and a controller adaptor can. Use the money for your father's birthday instead, if you must sell the PS2.

Ranko, the PS2 is going to my sister, she's giving it to her Fiance, for his birthday, so it's really going to a good cause

That's what laptops are for.

But the PS2's a good cause for sure.

I'd do the NES version as well. Retro gaming rules and people will likely notice it on the bus/subway/etc.

At least the PS2's going to a good cause. I mean, the GBA is great and there's tons of great games, but... if you could have both...

GBA SP Famicom Edition! C'mon, the red and white theme is so irresistable!!! ... Or the NES Classic one is nice too.

I'm at the point of selling my PS2 unless some good games come out for it by Christmas. But I wouldn't buy a GBA SP in its place. But since that's what you're doing, get the NES edition.

I'll agree with most people here and say the NES edition; it's the one I'm looking at getting.
Probably won't be able to get it before Christmas though....

I prefer Zelda personally.
Although the reason I'm wanting to get a GBA is the Final Fantasy games* that are supposed to be coming out for it.

*: It was discussed in this thread.

Fina fantasy eh? I've only ever played X, but I might get these to hopefully start my Final fantasy fanboyism
I really don't know why I didn't get any Final fantasy games, it's meant to be really good.
EDIT: oh, and Zelda is my all time favourite series

I've yet to play anything past 6, but once I get my playstation (hopefully soon! ), I'll be doing some catch-up.
The series as a whole is very good; although until X-2 all of the games were more-or-less "stand-alone"s (each of them has very little to do with any of the others, except for recurring themes such as moogles, chocobos, etc.).

It's not my favorite, but it's a good one.

Get the NES edition. And if you're going to get one of the Classic NES games, get Zelda. The others aren't really worth it. SMBDX (Gameboy Color) is a more preferable port than Classic NES series SMB.

Classic game? Yeah, Zelda's ok, but it's really tough to beat River City Ransom EX. It's so funny! Not a long game at all, but very good for what you get, and it's got good replay value. If not that, then definitely Zelda, since you say it's your favorite.

I will have to agree with the others, NES style GBA is the way to go. That retro look is awesome.
