GBA SP 101 vs. 001: Which One’s Your Player 1?

The Game Boy Advance SP is a legend, but not all SPs are built the same. Let’s settle the showdown between the 001and the 101.

The Match-Up

Right Blue - 001 (OG SP)

  • Screen: Front-lit (kinda dim, needs good lighting).
  • Vibes: Classic but can strain your eyes.

Left Black - 101 (Elite SP) 

  • Screen: Back-lit (hella bright and vibrant).
  • Vibes: Play anywhere, anytime—dark room? No problem.

TL;DR

  • Casual gamer? Grab the 001 for nostalgia on a budget.
  • Serious collector or late-night grinder? The 101 is your MVP with top-tier visuals.
