Gameboy Micro Dated!!!

September, eh? That's right around the corner. Announce some solid pricing and packaging details already. $100 is far too high but then again $50 is too low for Nintendo to settle with that. I'm sticking to my price of $79. Hopefully those rumors of an included Play-yan were true.
 
At E3 this little bastard only played GBA games, and not GBC or GB ------ missleading since it's called the GameboyMicro.... and not AdvanceMicro...

any update at all?

GameBoy is a trademark, and in teh console world, that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be backwards compatibility. Afterall, Sony called the PSP Playstation too, and some may assume that it plays PS games, but it's not true.

Fully understood, this industry is carried by how missleading names can be.... Still frustrating, constantly arguing with casuals that seem so convinced by Best-Buy.
 
$99 doesn't seem that high. I could see paying $99 for a GB Micro before paying that much for a DS. I expect it will do quite well.
