Anyone else think Sony will pull a Game Boy Micro with the PSP Go?

What's a GameBoy Micro?  Is that the last remake of the GameBoy Advance hardware that looked just like an NES controller with a screen in the middle and was released like after the DS was?

EDIT:  Found a picture and it was what I had remembered!

Like the PSP Go, the Micro was also a smaller version of the handheld that lost features and generally wasn't 'too' well-received.  Like the Go, it featured a smaller screen than its predecessor.  It also lost the ability to play Game Boy Color and original Game Boy games, and had no multiplayer capabilities thanks to the lack of a slot for the link cable.  I'd say those losses are pretty comparable to the 3000's loss of the ability to play any physical games at all.

I would have to agree with you on that.  Then add to the fact that you can get a PSP-3000 with a 4GB Pro Duo card, a game, and a movie for $200 and you can have the best of both worlds!  All you need to be able to use the digital downloads is a Pro Duo memory card.....
