Question for Gameboy Micro Owners.

I 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'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.

the handheld is so rare that 90% of GS hasnt heard of or doesnt own one to know what to do. but theres still the 10% left that could help but half of them arent on every day

I don't own a micro, but if you have the dough to shell out for both, then I'd go for it if you want it. The rarer one ould be worht more in the future, so yeah.

Why bother with a Micro (unless your a collector)? ESPECIALLY if you already own an iteration of GBA. Its just a reshell of the GBA.

I'd recommend getting the all black Micro because it looks very nice, whereas the famicom edition looks like... well, I'm not allowed to use the word here but it's pretty close to "turd". Why Nintendo made a Famicom version and not a US NES version is still beyond me to understand.
