I wanted to get a gameboy for when I go on buisness trips. Especially so after realizing that the guys who made X-Com made Rebelstar. I'm just trying to decide whether to get a new SP (with the new backlit screen) or a micro. The micro would be nice because it looks cool and has a regular headphone jack. Also, it would be small enough to easily fit in my pocket. The SP has a larger screen though, which may be better for strategy and rpg games that I will be playing. What do you guys think?

there are no good games that I want for the PSP, also it is very expensive and has a shorter battery life. Just the opposite for the GB, rebelstar, fire emblam, minish cap, final fantasies 1, 2, and in December 4, etc.

But the Micro has a smaller screen. So try it out first to ensure the screen is not too small. If you can use the screen fine, then the Micro over the SP.

Micro does not play classic GB games but SP does, correct?

btwn those 2, the SP. it appears you'd get more cramped up with the micro over long durations

Get the SP, it?s very comfortable to use. You'll have a screen that is less likely to get Scratched up.
