The original Game Boy Advance fits comfortably into the pocket of a backpack. The retooled Game Boy Advance SP fits into a coat pocket. Now Nintendo takes aim at the pocket of your tightest jeans with the tiny Game Boy Micro system, quite simply the smallest and sleekest Game Boy product that Nintendo has ever created. It's thinner than a cell phone, as chic as an MP3 player and as fun as a Game Boy. In an instant it attracts attention and positions the image-conscious player as someone on the cutting edge of cool.

Pros Small: 4"x2"x1", light, extremely bright display, trendy, standard...
Cons Feels fragile, unprotected display, no Game Boy/GBC compatibility
Recommended it? Yes

Nintendo has practically owned the handheld gaming market ever since the release of the original big grey brick of a Game Boy. Back then, nobody cared that they were playing games in only pea-soup green or that the thing drained batteries like nobody's business; they could take those games... Read full review »

Big gaming in a small package

Pros Small, portable, customizeable, bright screen.
Cons Screen size is small, price may be a factor for some.
Recommended it? Yes

I don't think of Nintendo's Game Boy Micro as a new system, so much as I think of it as an extension of their already popular Game Boy Advance line. The system is essentially a Game Boy Advance in a smaller shell. I don't think of it as a "novelty" item either, as I do see more and more people of... Read full review »

Still a Worthy Buy, and Great Value for Money

Pros An affordable package, still a next-gen console, still an XBOX 360
Cons No hard drive, DRM
Recommended it? Yes

As an Xbox 360 Premium owner, my brother and I thought a plain Jane Arcade version would be the perfect birthday gift for a friend.  We went halfsies on it, and it didn't end up costing too much.  We figured it'd be nice to have more friends to play with, after all.

Pros Provides most of what you need to play<br>Loads of fun<br>Fair Price
Cons Low Memory (but you should buy hard drive)<br>average graphics (getting lots better)
Recommended it? Yes

The Xbox 360 Arcade is meant to be a console where people can play games and have fun. It accomplishes just that. This is a fair price to pay for this package seeing as it comes with everything you need to get started to play. In order to play online you would need to buy a game and an ethernet...
