Is the Gamebuino classic better than the Arduboy?

The Arduboy : 

          pros - small, flat, tough, minimalist, has a beautiful monochrome screen and an active developer community.

          cons - monochrome, no sd card - can only load one game - needs another device (a computer or the right phone) to load a different game, subject to arduino chip memory limitations.

The Gamebuino Classic:  

          pros - nice shape, has sd card, many games, linking capabilities, clone available (Makerbuino).

          cons - monochrome, uses old Nokia screen - developer community recently not so active (moved on to Meta?), subject to arduino chip memory limitations

The Gamebuino Meta:

          pros - color screen, nice case, sd card, leds, better sound (?), headphone jack, Cortex M0 32 processor with much more flash and ram memory than arduino chip, cool games being developed

          cons - not available yet, games not available yet.

"better sound (?)" -> The meta has way better sound and it can play 8 bit wav! (I'm pretty sure Classic wasn't able to do that)

" cons - not available yet, games not available yet." -> Well, that's the most not-problematic con I've ever heard.

The classic CAN play raw music files, at the expense of doing anything else. The META has a seperate sound chip, which reduces CPU load.

Actually it doesn't! ^^ It has an audio amp, but it's only amplifying signal, not processing anything.

I stand corrected! I mistook the amp for a full audio chip. That makes it being able to play wav files even more impressive.

I preferred the Arduboy over the Gamebuino classic cause the screen had a much higher resolution, and the buttons were superior. Especially the dpad.

Agreed, I guess we improved quite a bit with our new Gamebuino META ;)

Agreed. The Meta is a work of art, as your award proves
