Just take a look at the size of the Gameboy Micro compared to a standard NES controller.    Bad pictures I know, they where taken with a Treo 650 phone.

Don't know how well it plays yet, I don't have any games for it. I bought it because it caught my eye.

Yup. They don't call it the game boy micro for nothing. I wouldn't mind getting one someday, but I want to get some other consoles first.

I had a nice discussion with the guy in EB about the micro... Micro: $129 SP: $89 - $99 DS: $169 Advantages to the Micro: Size. Disadvantages to the Micro: TINY screen cramped controls inability to play classic GameBoy games cost Advantages to the SP: Backlit screen good sized screen compatibility with any GB game ever made cost disadvantages to the SP: cramped controls (in my opinion) Advantages to the DS Next gen handheld hardware larger screen than SP widely spaced and comfortable controls Nicer screen than the SP Stereo sound without headphones. disadvantages to the DS: Cost larger than can be comfortably carried in a normal pocket In the end, you really have to consider if the Micro is worth the $30 - $40 more than an SP, and if you're going to pay that, should you not just fork out the extra cash and get a DS, which is just now getting into the cycle of good games. While the GBA is slowing down considerably... All that said, the Micro is cool, and if I had the spare cash, I'd probably pick one up.

I paid $110 for my Micro, thats not a bad price at all. Here, the SP's new are the same price as the Micro. Mind you, in the pawn shops they sell the SP's for $60. Plus, the SP's look like garbage compared to the Micro! This whole comfort thing too, I have massive hands. The micro fits like a glove. Not cramped at all.

I was reading some place else about GB/GBC emulation on the Micro. I also come accross a 2gb flash cart. Sounds good to me! Edit: NES-Luke, I seen in one of your pictures that you had a Commodore 1702. Just curious to know how much you paid for it. Edit: http://www.pocketnes.org/

I have two of them, I didn't pay a dime for either one. One is still at my parents place though.

Good stuff, I have two aswell. Like you, I paid nothing for them. Strange... The two you have, is the color still crisp on them? I had a third one, but the green was all washed out.

To have a standard S-Video input on these would be great. They are the perfect size for sitting down and playing pretty much any console on. Gotta love the mono speaker on them too, nice and loud!

Why do you think a new GBA was made instead of a completely new system is my question though.
