I couldn't resist the sale at GameStop so I bought a new micro today. It's so sleek! I like how it's lighter and just a little bit wider than the SP. We've got a pair of the most recent SP's with the brighter screens and I am slightly disappointed to report that the micro doesn't seem quite as bright or colorful when I compaed the same title (Pokemon LeafGreen/FireRed) side by side. Or maybe it's just a different brightness and color that I'm not used to yet. Anyway, it definitely has a sharp picture and a fantastic design. I'm happy I got it.
I was thinking of buying one a while ago but then I picked up a DS. I don't really have no need for a Micro but I'm still probably going to buy one soon, congratulations on finding one in a sale, I can't find them anywhere at the moment!

Maybe I didn't make myself clear. We have the GBA SP's that said "Now with a brighter backlit screen!" on the box. They are the most recent design and are actually brighter than the Micro's. You can read an old article about the change here .

how much are the Micros at GS?
I just bought a used SP for 60 but i still have 2 weeks to return it if i do want a micro.
What's the point of buying a micro when you have like a GBA?:? Not to mention it's now even more fragile than the SP...Unkillable
No point, really. I just wanted one! It is more comfortable to play- super light and a little bit wider than an SP- but the tradeoff is the smaller screen. As for being more fragile, it's true that the SP is like a little tank. I'm all growed up though and take care of my stuff. ;)

Yeah sometimes just wanting something is reason enough to get it ;).. I take really good care of my stuff, actually to the point that it makes my micro not very portable lol..

The bad thing about game boy micros is because it doesn't have the clamshell design, so its just like a gameboy advance original, except its smaller, lighter, and brighter. I'd pick an sp over a micro, I know micros have those faceplates that you can buy and put to protect your front screen, but those would also get scratched & damaged.
