Not me. I saw one for $74.99 (Canadian) and was tempted to buy it, but I'd rather just buy more NES games with $75 that buy something to play GBA games of which I allready have my DS, SP, GBA and GameBoy player to play them on.

Smilies and bad spelling aside. I dont like it because its smaller then a pack of cards. I like the SP disign more anyways.

I do, just because of that nifty Famicom Anniversary design, and the fact I got $10 off Mario Vs. Donkey Kong when I purchased it!
(There is a coupon for instant $10 off a select GBA game on the package)
I like it, it's quirky, wouldn't play it on a regular basis, I'd rather stick to my SP or DS personally...
yea i Like my DS better.
Plus certain games look much better off the GBA player for the GC. I played fire emblem on that.
I remember the original GbA and me playing metroid and quitting because i got to a stage that was dark and i could not see anything even in sunlight or using the GBA light.lol.
So now the screen is very nice but the GBA is at the end of its life cycle.

I own two. I bought a silver one back when they first came out. I guess you could say I have a gameboy fetish (ewww, not really) I can't get enough of them. So when the limited edition came out, I thought it would look great next to all my NES Classics and my NES SP. I was right. The screen, marvelous. The size, unimaginable. The price, leaves something to be desired. Nevertheless, I don't regret buying either of them.
I suggest that everybody atleast tries it out. It's well worth it if you've got the cash to blow.

Imagine how people would react to that. Instead, Try it like this:
Subject Title: Do you like sega?
Subject text: I like sega. Sega genesis is my favorite of the sega systems. How about you? Do you like sega, and what sega system do you like the most?
That is not my real opinion on sega, It's just an example. But when people are talking to people that they like (And can communicate with no problems) They like it more.
Now, on the main subject...
I do not own a micro, Although i plan to get one. I do have a GBM faceplate (A nintendo rep gave me one) And i think that the micro is very comfortable and very portable.

i have the 20th anniv. edition. i find i am using it a lot when i go out since its light, small, and much less cumbersome than my ds (and i love that thing)

I don't own one yet, but I will surely buy one (used) when prices drop to a level my purse can accept. ;)

I own one and play it all the time. It's much easier to handle than an SP. Playing fighting games on an SP is ridiculous. At least with the Micro my hands aren't squashed together try to do a fireball.

I have the 20th edition as well. I wasn't going to get one at all and I saw that edition and was sold. I actually play it quite abit at night when my wife is watching tv. I still prefer the Sp 2 though.

Ouch, the irony hurts.
EDIT: On topic, No, I don't have or want a micro. I'm fine with my GBA.

I've been tempted a few times, but never actually bought one.
I'll wait and see if the next revision of the DS retains GBA compatibility. If it doesn't, then I'll pick up a micro for playing my GBA games.

I don't have one. I find them a pointless piece of hardware. I already have a Nintendo DS (which is only about $30AU more expensive over here) which plays my GBA games.
If the Micro played GB/GBC, I might've considered one - but with the GBASP2 on the way, I really don't see why Nintendo even made the Micro (aside from swallowing more money from blindly loyal fanboys).

i have a 20th anniversery edition, the only reason i bought it was to match my famicom, but i actually play it now, i bought boktai, and it's freakin awesome! also got zelda the minish cap, and that game's awesome too! got castlvania, zelda 1&2 and broken sword. i did have a gba, but it died, so this worked out perfectly for me to get it.

I initially thought they were a waste of money, but once I saw that 20th Anniversary Edition I was fiendin'. After getting a $50 gift card and $100 cash from the in-law's for Christmas, I jumped on one.
Really, really like it. Even though I have the original SP and a DS, I prefer the screen to the SP and the button layout to the DS (I naturally hit Y and B, not B and A on the DS). Inspired me to dig out some of the GBA games I haven't really spent much time with!

saw one at best buy, and it looked cool, but couldn't bring myself to buy it when I already have 2 sp's and a ds.
