Quote:Update - TRU is sending out a flyer for it. It's advertised $129.99, but will be $129.95. The ad is basically for Nintendogs and includes a $10 off $50 NINTENDO purchase coupon(should work on the hardware, so you could get it for $119.95). The flyer is only going out to R-zone best guests, though, and should arrive at homes next week.
Update 2 - I figured I might as well post this here, too, since it's more Nintendo news. There are two new items listed in the TRU computer. There is a "GC Ltd Ed PK XD Bundle" listed. The Bundle is priced at $99.99 with no date yet, but at least it looks like Nintendo is going to be trying this Christmas. Also, a GBA SP Sponge Bob system is listed.
Update 3 - The price drop is actually occuring this week. Probably Wednesday or Thursday. It is universal, also. Second, if you do get the $10 off coupon from TRU in the mail it WILL work on the system, so you can get it for $119.95 making it an even better deal.

Also Popular Science might've given away GB Micro price - $100

Game Boy Micro » Nintendo shrunk its Game Boy down to the size of a pack of gum. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery nets about 10 hours of battery life for the backlit two-inch screen. Swappable faceplates.

Quote:No new information other than the price, so maybe that's just an estimate (it sometimes is on the page), but I assume they usually go with the information given to them.
