Game Boys in da HOOD

[A Black Falcon]

The same number of pixels in a significantly smaller screen means smaller pixels. This means a better image, even if it is smaller...

They could just NOT make it? I really think their target audience is the ignorant. I'm not insulting people here, I'm just saying that only people who are unaware that the Micro has nothing but limitations compaired to the SP (and that will be a lot of people, really they can't be expected to just know this stuff like we nerds do) are going to buy that thing.

They're selling it as a 'cool looking hardware thing' like an ipod or something... not really as 'a replacement for the SP' -- the new backlit SP shows that it's not replacing the SP. It's a seperate product aimed at people who want 'small' or 'cool looking'. I doubt many of the buyers of micros will really mind the missing backwards compatibility and broken addon support (some will certainly, though, and they should make it clearer that those things are removed... but it's new and more expensive so they don't want to go around saying 'yeah the older, cheaper model is better in almost every way except for looks'...)... most people who want backwards compatibility probably have a GBA already. :) The link port is a bigger problem, though, if anyone expected to use their micro for GBA-GC connectivity...
