The Game Boy Advance SP was a revision of the Game Boy Advance released in 2003. This model's main addition was a frontlit display, which made it able to be played in the dark without an external light source. This model substitutes the original Game Boy Advance design with a folding clamshell design, and includes a rechargeable battery, as opposed to the original model using AA batteries as a source of power.
