I have a DS Lite, a DS Phat, and a Gameboy Advance SP, and I had a Gameboy Advance near to launch.

But godamn I have decided. Best handheld of all time. Much better than the DS in terms of it's game library. No Brain Training games.

Why the hell would you buy one of those when you already have a DS? DS can play the older games as well...its like you are saying: "I have a 42 inch plasma tv in the living room, but I want to play on the 22 inch sylvania crt tv...just cause its a classic".

No, The GBA is excellent. I've been playing Iridion II which prompted me to buy one.

It's so small, you can carry it anywhere. I got a Pink GBA Micro for £20. Plus I ordered Omega Boy and Spiderman Mysterio's Menace.

Size. I bought one for my cousin a year ago and regret having to give it away. Having portable gaming that small is incredible.

I probably wouldn't have done it if it wasn't the price of a budget game and it wasn't so damn cool. 8)

This is the game I've been playing that has made me decide to get one.

Gameplay like that in such a small device.

For anyone who still wonders why.

You should wait for the DS Micro, though it probably will lose the GBA port.

You know I've never been able to find a 2nd hand micro that isn't pink. It's like the other colours don't even exist. I only remember demoing one back when Gunstar came out and really wanted one (but for me the DS was better value). As a dedicated GBA device you can't go wrong though. I do wonder about that screen size though as FF4 GBA was already hard to read at points.

Damn, I'm missing the Micro as well and the SP. I got GameBoy, two GameBoy Colours (one purple, one clear), GameBoy Advance, NDS Phat, NDS Lite, the attatchement for the SNES. So much handheld awesomeness.

And 6th gen and older games look much better on SDTVs...

@the OP - where did you buy your Game Boy Micro?
