In a surprise move, Nintendo recently (and quietly) released an
updated version of its Game Boy Advance-SP. This new version of the
hardware originally released in March of 2003 is exactly like the
GBA-SP that you're used to. The only difference is that the new
model has a fully backlit screen instead of the standard front
lighting. And, if you though that the SP looked bright before, wait
until you see it now.
The SP's light button, that previously turned the system's screen
lights on and off, now toggles between two different brightness
levels for the backlit screen. The default "low light" setting is
noticeably brighter than the old SP screen, and when you turn the
brightest level up, you'll be stunned at just how dark the original
SP appears.
