Micro

Anybody got any comments on the Gameboy Micro? There is a special edition I'm kind of interested in.

Just wondered if anybody has one!

I have one and i think its great but my sis gets headaches when pl;aying it for too long somtimes btw.

It's the best version of the GBA there is, top quality and nice and compact. The screen is as bright as a DS lite as well.

The only thing I would recommend is playing it with headphones. The stereo sound from them is great, whereas the audio emitted from the pathetically tiny speaker in it is not worth listening to!

Seriously, if you still play GBA games, like me, then this is the only handheld console worth playing them on! It's cool.

Thanks everyone.
I think i will invest. Seem to be spending loads at the mo tho!!

Any headphones you recommend Sue?

[biddenden_sue]

I can't really recommend any. Do you already have an MP3 player? If so, simply use the headphones you have for that.

I like behind the neck phones, my boys like them over the head, but most people these days just like wired inner ear phones.

Get whatever you are happy to wear, preferably with inline volume control (easier than the Micro's volume adjustment button), and get some with nice bass sound if you can find something in your price bracket.

Sky's the limit, but it'll make a huge difference to your gaming enjoyment!

Amazon have some nice headphones Amazon.co.uk: Sennheiser CX300 Eco Ear Canal Headphones Black: Electronics & Photo, the price isn't bad and I've heard some very good feedback regarding them.

I'm going to order some for my iPod next week.

Hi,

I did get one from Ebay- the special edition. It looks great but obviously all the instructions are in Japenese!

I am currently charging it. Should a light be on whilst charging?

[wiimadjay]

i think so. there is usually a light that comes on to indicate it is charging?

anyone confirm this?

[biddenden_sue]

The start and select buttons glow red when it needs charging, Then they glow (green/blue?) while chaging up and go off when it is fully charged.

I assume you've worked out how to go up and down with the volume and the screen brightness?

You click the button on the right hand side up and down a max of four times for volume, and hold the left shoulder button in while doing same for the brightness control.

Thanks for the help!

Not good news tho! No lights!!! I switch it on and then it goes off after a second or so!!

Perhaps i should look for another charger on Ebay
