Hilarious. I have five of those. Six, if you count the N-Gage QD as a separate device. What I wanted to mention, though, is how sad it is that the GBA Micro is on here. I have one of the limited edition Famicom ones, and it's the *best* way to play GBA games, hands down.

Yes, the screen is small, but as an upshot to that, the limited-resolution graphics of GBA games look *spectacular*. The buttons and D-pad are also much, much better than any Nintendo device that's come since, from the DS to the Wii. It's smaller than it has any right to be, and it's the sole reason that I still actually have a handful of GBA games.

If you can find one, and you have GBA games, get it. It's totally worth it. One interesting note - I put it down for about a year and a half, picked it back up, and it still had almost a full charge!

I bought Game Boy, & about 25 games. I sold the whole lot in a yard sale, because it could not keep my interest up. I would love to have the Nintendo DS & the game Brain Age. The standard grievance I have with anything hand held in technology, is the amount of battery usage they take, it becomes a very expensive habit.
