Well, Christmas is near, and I want a portable gaming device. What do you think is better to get?

Oh crap, is it 2006? You're gonna have a tough time finding games for a GBA in stores. Just get a PSP, and mod it to play GBA games. Problem solved.

DS plays GBA games as well and you don't have to hack at. What about 3DS or Vita ?

GBA is where it was at!

But FF7 Crisis Core and Birth By Sleep are probably the best handheld games I have ever played.

Well The world ends with you, Castlevania: Dawn of sorrow, Chrono trigger and Bowser's inside story are also really good..

The World Ends With You and Chrono Trigger are both available on iOS. Chances are may GBA exclusives can be found on either iOS or modded into the PSP, however you'll miss out on PSP exclusives if you get a GBA or DS.

DS for practical usage

GBA for it being a collectible.

If you want to play GBA games, though, just go to Vizzed.

Like I said, go on Vizzed for GBA. You won't have to download anything.
