"The system is durable: by accident it fell out of my pocket and my wife drove over it in our driveway. My bulldog Penny tried to eat it and the neighbor's cat came for a visit and used it as a play toy.

Her name is Pebbles and she picked it up and hid it behind her litter box. Make no mistake about it, this device has no business being beside or in a litter box. It's got style and it has got grace, just like a Timex. The Game Boy Micro literally took a licking, a kicking and a dusting, but it kept on ticking."

Yeah sure.....

What a bunch of horseshit. Maybe if he showed pictures of his Micro scratched and dented to hell might I believe that.

Not to add anymore fuel to this fire, but I've dropped my Micro like 10 plus times this week - including from a 16 foot ladder... and nothing... works perfect.

 

[siege]

Well, you've gotta give Nintendo credit for atleast something...

hey, I am sure the micro is plenty durable, that's not the point. This thread isn't supposed to stir up any arguments!

It's just funny that the guy would actually make all that stuff up.

 

[Deku]

There are about two micro threads and yes, people who own it enjoy it.

It's a GameBoyAdvance redesigned. Expecting anything more is kinda silly. But in terms of form, function, battery-life portability, screen quality, it's top notch.

You're questioning the durability of a Nintendo handheld?

It's sympatico news. Canadian. No journalistic integrity. Dude was just happy that he got a Micro for free from Nintendo, liked it a lot, and wrote up an exagerated review.

Not at all but a neighbor's cat stealing the micro? Seriously.

 

[BreakyBoy]

Not that I don't tihnk he's bullshitting a bit (the neighbor's cat story is a bit of a warning siren) , but if my N64 got nothing but a superficial scuff on the top after being run over by my friend's pickup truck a couple years back, then I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the GBA Micro could take the same kind of punishment.

About a year ago, my mom's cell-phone was sitting on the kitchen counter, as was the family cat... when the phone started ringing, the cat grabbed it in her mouth and took off like a shot - my mom chased her all over the house, trying to get the phone back before the call went to voice mail.

It wasn't a small phone either, definitely bigger than the micro.

Good point.

Do people just buy the Micro, take it out of the box and just start throwing it at random walls and dangerous situations? This system's been out for less than a week and has seen more collective danger than Team America.

Do you want the terrorists to win?

Whoa, Canadian news has more journalistic integrity than you are likely to find anywhere.

If it had come from Fox news, you'd have a point.

What really gets me though is that people are interpreting the posting is it has some attack against the micro. Seriously people, lighten up. I have no beef with the micro, i dont plan to buy one, but i have no problem with it exisiting!

The whole point was that it was a funny review. I *LIKE* what he wrote, despite it being obvious (and intentionally) exxagerated.

I cannot belive that so many people have started a serious debate over this, I just dont get it.

"One of the coolest features of the new system is that for the first time, users can adjust the brightness of the screen to adapt to indoor lights or outdoor sunshine."

Apple would have said "Innovation"
Nintendo "Revolution"

and the others "FINALLY... *SIGH*"

The question is -- what were you doing playing with your Micro on top of a 16-foot ladder?

Wow, that's one of the stupidest things I've seen on this board. And that's saying something.

Well, I was exagerating as well. Get off the high horse.

It was the combination of Sympatico news + canadian Website.

 

[stewy]

You wrote something stupid, I merely pointed it out. No horses involved.

Never thought of it that way. I wear it around my neck like a piece of bling 24/7! Yeah yeah!

Who the fuck was trolling? I swear, are how fucking hypersenstive is everyone around here?

I'm gonna end up with a permanet case of slack jaw if one more dolt takes this thread seriously.

A guy wrtoe something funny in a review. I posted it so people could laugh. Stop bitching and start laughing.

 

[Mejilan]

The faceplates double as screen protectors. The LCD screen itself is only exposed those few seconds it takes to swap faceplates. NEAT!
