Game Boy Micro
Author: Nick
Haywood
"The
silver metal Game Boy Micro measures a mere 4 inches wide, 2 inches
tall and 0.7 inches deep, making it smaller than most mobile phones.
It weighs just 2.8 ounces, or about the weight of 80 paper clips
(should you ever have to constantly carry paperclips). Yet Game
Boy Micro has the same processing power and plays the same games
as Game Boy Advance SP models, complete with standard face controls
and shoulder and Start/Select buttons that shine with trendy cool
bloo lighting."
