Did anyone post the Game Boy Micro price yet?

If Nintendo was smart they would make some kind of flashable music only cart for the micro and make it work with i-tunes. All of a sudden GBMicro wouldn't be such a bad idea would it?! :)
 
I would not have such a problem if not for the fact that GBA game dev seems to have slowed down due to the DS. Other than Gunstar and Sigma Star, I can't think of any new GBA games that I'm looking forward to.
 
Yet another totally unexpected development!

Really you all should be thanking Apple. They paved the way to prove that flash and style are now much more important than substance or functionality when it comes to a pricing decision. People like expensive pretty things. It's status.

Plus GB Micro's are f'n sexy in person.

Perhaps, but I wouldn't consider it until such a cart were 20GB or greater, and beyond that I still wouldn't use it to play GBA games.

Hell, exchange "GBA" for "PSP" in the above sentence and that's how I view Sony's handheld.
 
I know I'm going to end up buying a Micro right at launch, so I'm not even going to kid myself and post a "I'll pass, it's too expensive" comment. :lol

The slim PS2 didn't get any price drops, and people (at least in my city) were running out an buying them, selling or trading their perfectly good larger PS2s in the process. The same thing is going to happen with the GB Micro. I expect to see lots of used GBA SPs all over the place soon.
 
Micro is a slick looking little system it is a must have for me I will also look to purchase a couple more used cheap GBA SP in different colors onyx and flame red.

crap i did the trade in the old to get the new with the old GBA and the SP. im not doing it again.

i want one of these suckers, but the trade in isnt worth it. id pick up a DS before i got one of these.

If they were smart they'd get it out here sooner, to try and quieten down the PSP launch, god there is a lot of advertising over here for that, watermarks on our TV shows, every shopping centre that is computer oriented at all seems to have a sign advertising the damn thing, enough already!

That said I think the thing could do quite well, the GBA SP is pretty popular over here as a distraction for kids from their parents so it's gonna be interesting to see how this fares.
