Quote:And as for everything else, the ENTIRE system is a complete waste of cash compaired to an SP. In no way at all is this thing actually superior that I can tell. Let's see... No GBC/GB game support. It doesn't support ANY of the old accessories (requiring, for reasons I can't really fathom, completely new types of ALL the old accessories), a lack of the ability to fold it up to store it in a really small form and at the same time protect the screen.... Sorry, no dice. I'll stick with my SP. I figure this must be for poor people anyway though.
Other disadvantages:
-smaller, making it less comfortable for long play sessions (also sometimes a problem on SP actually, when compared to the original GBA (for some people), but even worse on Micro I'm sure)
-weaker speaker than the SP, meaning quiter sound (didn't the SP have louder sound than the GBC/GBA (which to me seem identically quiet)? I wonder if it's back to that, or if this is even quieter... makes me wish for the days of the original GB and it's loud speaker, that's for sure... :))
It does have one advantage though...
-Brighter, clearer, more evenly lit screen. It's smaller, true, but it's those things too, and it's the same resolution... so the only problem is if something is too small for some people to read/make out clearly. But most of the time I wouldn't expect that to be a problem.
