And I don\'t care what anyone says, that Micro looks like a blast.  If only it had a bigger screen...

Just the fact that the screen is so tiny equals a bad investment for the gamer.

This is ridiculous. I never use my SP but now I want a new one.

Must resist... urge...

Same deal with Micro. I have all the Game Boy iterations, but for $100 I have to pass. I could buy an X360 controller with that money! :rolleyes:

That thing looks like it was built in the 80s.

It is not like they are goin\' on a huge ad-campaign or charging a different price for this new backlit screen. Instead, they put on the box that it has an improved screen and quietly release it. No big deal at all. As for the Micro, it\'s just a niche\' product, nothing more. Think of it like Sony\'s Pstwo\'s.

The GameBoy SP is still what I would buy. I mean damn it\'s a sexy litttle beast if only it was around when I bought my original GBA. :(

"Oh looky looky the screen is so big mario looks bigger than my penis"

Gimmicky piece of old hardware with a tiny screen that makes it hard to see whats going on in it.
Offers nothing.

Worked for the PStwo.

The screen is about the size of a cell phone screen, which, for some people, is perfectly adequate.  I can\'t stand tiny screens, not even the PSP, so I have no interest.

Just be glad nobody is forcing you to buy one, Uni.;)

Or was it again an opportuinity of his to bash me?

Now thats the kind of civilised discussion I like seeing  ;)
(Unlike some others)

I can agree with you though.

If the Game Boy Micro is a success, my hat\'s off to Nintendo.

I mean, seriously. GBA games only, tiny.. exposed screen.. and more costly than the brilliant GBA-SP. If they can sell that, I think that\'s real talent.

you guys insulting each other is like a cripple fight

can\'t compare this to the pstwo
pstwo was a radical change to the system, not just brightening the screen by reducing battery life.  nintendo has been watching Apple and learned a few things
