My boyfriend bought me a big accessory pack when he bought me the
gameboy. The pack was $50 and each accessory (new in stores) is
generally around $10 so depending on what you want, it can be a good
deal. My pack is from Intec - I don't know if they have a good rep or what.
I found the "wings" that you can add to the SP are very useful - they
make it much more comfortable - more like a PS controller, which is what
I am more used to.
The charger/stand is good - i leave it on my desk plugged in and I just
pop the GB in it to charge.
Since you have a game cube, you may want the cable that lets you attach
the two - I don't have a game cube so this is useless to me. The pack I
got also came with a cable to let you attach two GBAs for multi-player
games.
The audio accessories seemed kinda cool at first but I haven't used them
much - that's external speakers, an AM/FM radio attachment, and an
addapter so you can use earphones.
The car adapter is great - I'd be really sad without it
I thought the piece that snaps on and lets you stick two carterages
directly on the GB would be useful but that's something else I haven't
wound up using much.
I've never used the neck strap and belt clip and doubt I will, but you
may find them useful.
The screen magnifier is, to me, useless - I only notice a tiny
difference and it makes the GB akward and bulky.
My kit also came with 2 screen protecters (which I definately use and
think are worth it) and a spare battery, along with a little screw
driver to let you change batteries.
Finally, it came with three "face plates" to let you customize the
outside of your GB - to me, these are silly and annoying, and kinda flimsy.
The organizer bag it came with is good - it does hold everything well
and neatly and I have room for all my games (14 so far). I *don't* like
the color though - it is a very shiny silver. YMMV
