Like each launch of a portable system in past, Game Boy Advance has gained a collection of rechargeable battery packs eliminating the need of buy countless batteries for your hours of playtime. And, while many other products comparable to the Cobra Power Deluxe Advance are available now, there happens to be many advantages that Nuby's power pack can offer. Although the company also released a similar power pack, the Cobra Power Plus Advance, the Deluxe version is able to provide a grand total of 32 hours of play when it's fully charged. That one simple fact makes leaps and bounds over the competitors, all if you're willing to pay the higher end price for its superior length of play.

Besides its ability to provide 32 hours of play in one charge, you'll also appreciate Nuby's design of the product. While other nameless companies have chosen a bulky or awkward approach when releasing battery packs, the Cobra method is simple and compact enough not to cause any problems when handling the Game Boy Advance, unless of course you have ape hands. Though there is quite a bit of weight added to the system when holding it, it shouldn't effect much of what you are doing with the system, and that's the important thing here.

Just like the Power Plus Advance, this Deluxe model was molded into the look of a Cobra in a sense, which features some nifty glowing red eyes when you recharge the battery pack. When you place the power pack into the Game Boy Advance, you'll see that there's no need for batteries as it's formed to take the place of them as well as the cover. It shouldn't be too hard to slip off either, unless you're retarded like me.

The Cobra Power Deluxe Advance comes fully charged out of the package, so it's ready to go when you are. So, if you're looking for prolonged battery life and power to the playing time, then by shelling out a couple more bucks you can easily take home Nuby's Deluxe edition.
