Gameboy Micro was released in North America yesterday for $99 retail price.
With its sleek new design, the system only weighs 2.8 ounces. Thats about as much as 2.8 ounces of egg yolk, and less than a small Chihuahua.

The ultimate question is... Who's gonna buy it?

What ever happened to the classic "yes" and "no" choices?

Anyway, no. I already own handhelds to play GBA games on.

...umm, its not ABOUT as much as 2.8 oz of egg yolk. 2.8 oz is 2.8 oz, no matter what the substance And anyways, my SP seems to be doing the job fine. I still say this is a good move for more casual games, but for my own needs, I won't be needing this I'm affraid.

Nah. *minimizes VBA*

People will buy it for various reasons, that much is for sure. And if it's going to be your first GBA... what the hell. Apparently the screen is really nice.

No, I won´t buy it. I have a GBA SP and a DS and both can play GBA games.

I´m not really a fanboy but I do like Nintendo.

I also have a GBA SP, and a DS.

Althought they're both at home now, and technically the DS isn't mine. But I probably buy a own one later, and I should remember to bring the GBA with me back to the dorm.

And in my family, we also have another GBA SP, and a regulary GBA. And we also have a Gameboy player, but it's at my sisters dorm. And I also have a orginal Gameboy somewhere. And did I mention that I have a super gameboy? And a transfer pack, if that counts...

So... i'm not going to get Micro. Althought I can understand that people are gonna buy it.

I own both a DS and SP, but I'm still considering getting a Gameboy Micro, depending on how much money I have left after getting the other things I want.

Reason being is that when I first got an SP, I bought a black one (as they were the only ones Zellers had in stock). A couple weeks into playing games on it, I noticed a dead pixel in the screen. I thought that I'd rather not keep that one, in case more problems were to crop up, so I went back to Zellers to exchange it for a new one. After making quite a fuss about not being able to see the problem, the clerk finally relented and told me that either I could wait for them to get more, as they were all out from a sale, or I could get my money back. I chose the latter option, then went out to EB Games, since I figured they'd have some.

They did, and I walked out of that store with a red one. Upon getting to Wendy's so my brother could get something, I noticed the same problem was present in the SP I'd just purchased. We went back to EB Games, so I could exchange it for another one, then finally got home. I still have that SP right now, and it's got small bits of stuff inside the screen, and then a few pixels in the lower left corner that are always blue, except when it's turned off. That's what I get for buying preowned things, I guess

Anyways, as previously stated, whether I get a Gameboy Micro or not is entirely dependent on what I'm left with after getting a few things, which are listed in my profile. Included in that list (but not actually put in) is a Revolution, so chances are I won't have enough money

As things stand right now, I'm going to have to choose "Eh... Not sure yet." in the poll, and that's about how I feel on a whole about it as well

No, I will not get a GB micro, I would rather get a DS when I get some money over. Couldn't find that answer in the poll though . Actually, my first reaction on the GB micro was "That's just stupid! Who'll want to buy that?". Then again, I'd like to see myself as a veteran gamer and the GB micro wasn't made for veteran gamers.

Anyways, the only reason I would consider buying it is 'caz its soooo tiny and it has removable faceplates. I mean... Whats it like playing on an 1 inch screen?

You missed the "Don't give a toss for any Nintendo handhelds because I own a PSP" option.

THis seems a bit silly to be honest, I mean I have big hands and fat fingers, it's going to get lost somewhere in there.

No.

This poll smells of fanboy too. Where's the option for "No, I don't care about this stupid thing?"

Why would I need a Micro when my DS does the same thing and is cooler? And there should be a "hell no" kind of option... All the answers are either yes, no because you already have a DS/SP/GBA, or yes but not right now.
