On March 23, 2003, Nintendo plans to begin selling its latest version of the Game Boy hardware, the Game Boy Advance SP.

Pictured above is the Platinum GBA. This version of the unit is made the same way as the other colors of GBA that were released before this one. There is no special start-up sequence as some people might have thought, no game included, just the regular inserts, the free batteries, and the system it self. The Platinum Game Boy Advance can be purchased for $70.00 (without tax) at any GameStop, Software Ect., or Babbages.
