This has been bugging me about the sales numbers. Why do we have it has the GBA? Its not the GBA anymore. Its the GameBoy Micro which is a smaller version of the GBA but its still not the GBA as Nintendo announced it as being called the GameBoy Micro. So could we possibly get a fix on this? Should be GBM at least.

The Game Boy Micro has been discontinued for some time now. The model Nintendo still ships is the Game Boy Advance: SP, So Ioi's title is correct.


you sure? I know the micro was supposed to be a cheaper version of the GBA..


 You know wrong. The GBA launched at $90. The SP launched at $80. The Micro launched at $100. Futhermore, it couldn't use the GBA cables without adapters, and wasn't backwards compatible. Basically, the only thing it had was its small size, and backlit screen. Yet the SP was given a backlit screen at the same time (it was front lit before), so the Micro really looked bad in comparison.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
