was thinking about getting a GB micro. I already have a gba sp+. A micro would be like another addition to my collection.I wanted to know which one to get. I was thinking about getting a full black one.

But Ive heard the famicom/20th anniversary edition is more valuable, so i guess il go with that one.

What i wanted to know is whether there is any difference between the famicom and 20th anniversary edition, as they both look the same.I wanted some clarification on this matter. How would i differentiate the two? I think i saw somewhere, a pic with some wording and a mario outline on the back of a famicom micro. Is it like that on all the famicom ones?

I'l be buying the micro from this local shop that i usually buy games/consoles from. However,the owner told me that maroon(red)+gold combo one isnt very popular because the gold parts get scratched easily in usage,making it quite ugly.Thus, its demand in his shop is way lower than other micro editions.But if i wanted one, said he could get it for me.Price would be the same. (61$ new.)

So have any of you famicom/20th anniv. micro owners experienced the gold paint getting scratched off?

If that is the case, i wouldnt mind getting the famicom/20th anniv. one as a collectors item and get a black one for more regular usage.

Any advice ,info or recommendations would be appreciated.

Ps- A question to all the collectors. Would the micro get spoiled if it is left unused? Im asking because in my gba sp booklet it mentions that the device should be recharged atleast once every 6 months or it goes bad,or something along those lines.

Any recommended carry case or cover i should get?

I have the Famicom edition GBA Micro - I got mine a few yeas ago for $29 during Black Friday. For me the Micro was more for my collection not for play. The metal gets scratched easily and the face will get scratches too, and since it's the Famicom edition I don't think there are replacement faces (there might be I never looked for them). The Micro is also missing the GBA Link Cable ports, so if you wanted to used the GBA with LoZ Four Swords, Pokemon, or any of the GameCube game with GBA connectivity you can't. Not to mention the smaller screen on the Micro. The Micro is a beautiful system and a great addition to my collection, but for GBA gaming I stick with the GBA SP
