The Various Flavours of Gameboy

I've decided to invest in a new piece of Gameboy hardware to use for commuting.

However, I'm not sure if I should buy an SP straight away, wait for the Micro or purchase a DS. I think for the moment it's been the SP and the Micro.

If the Micro's due for release in September in Japan, when do you think it will arrive in the UK? (The SPOnGers may know this, since they seem to be very friendly with Nintendo Europe over all things Micro).

To those lucky enough to have had access to a Micro, does the small form factor, small buttons or small screen make the unit hard to use?

Thanks.

N.B. SPOnG staff: Any chance of a "Hardware" option in the Search SPOnG box? I keep wanting to search for hardware, and having to go into a game released on the hardware to view information about the hardware itself.

I can sell you a brand-new, unopened GBA SP for £45 (including delivery) if you're interested?

:-O
Dishonour!

Edit - Oh, and the Micro is a piece of genius - it works brilliantly - wait til you hold/play one.

Yeah, I'm interested!

Which colour is it? UK or US model?

UK Tribal-Edition. I'll take a photo and post it when I get back home.

The SHAME!!!

SPOnGbay!

Mmmmm. It dazzles! It excites!

Don't know what you mean, it's legit! Legit I tells ya!

It's not like I've been kindly given 4 GBA SPs and a GC with a bunch of games, only to turn mercnenary and sell them off... or anything... um.

But you were supposed to be living the Zelda Four Swords Dream!!!

Sellers or keepers?

What do you lot do with all your old gaming stuff them? I personally keep everything, I've never sold a single console or game. Although I did exchange Shrek 2 (which my girlfriend wanted to play co-op) for Wario World.

I would still have a binatone pong system, if my parents hadn't thrown it out saying "I'd realise you still wanted it" 8~(

I'm guessing TigerUppercut is a keeper!

Cool. The tribal edition is rather, umm, ugly though.

Have to see about funds... will get back to you soon.

Tiger - I'm still not living the Flat Out dream!!

Any chance one of the SPOnGers could give Kid my email address?

Thanks.

I keep everything as well, i've got my old Sega Mastersystem and Amiga stashed somewhere in the attic.

Anyone?
