Today I got my Micro and it definetely ROX ! The screen is legendary and beats everything to mud. The buttons rock, the d-pad rox, the shoulder buttons rock. Even the faceplates rock. I too thought it was redundant, I didn't even know why I bought it. But now I know : I somehow knew that the GB Micro is the shite ! I don't know why there is barely any European Micro hype. One thing I can definetely say : If you have a Micro, you simply can not dislike it. Unfortunately I could only play like half an hour, then the battery was too low. I have no converter.
