Topic: Game Boy Micro

Since there's no Talk Back thread for the Game Boy Micro Review I'm going to post this here.

The good thing about the faceplate is that if you happen to scratch it where the playing screen is, you can just exchange the faceplate, or buy a new one.

Does this mean that the Micro screen is protected and can be swapped out with the face plate?  This was my biggest concern with the GBM.  If there a removable screen protector the only thing stopping me is the price.  

Does anyone who has a GBM have any comments about it?  Any opinions differ from that of the reviewer?

the faceplate protects the actual screen. So yeah, if u scratch it, you can just replace it good as new really easily and quickly.

Yea, i'll second this. The faceplate protects the actual Micro game screen. So if you get a scratch that is over the screen area, just put one of the other faceplates on. The screen is fabulous, don't let anyone tell you that it sucks or you have to squint to see it. Also I know a common complaint was/is that people "can feel their hands cramping just looking at it". I don't have any problems with "cramping" and I have adult sized hands.

I'll third this, since I wrote the review =P

Just thought I'd chime in with my review of this hardware:  I'd have to shrink to use it.  GBA SP = good size.  Micro = good size (for Oompah Loompahs).

Is it difficult to read text-heavy games (like FFTA and M&L) without bringing the screen less than a foot from your nose?

i only have the Japanese FFTA, but I didn't have any problems with it.  I just wouldn't take the screen any further than you need to read it.  It was pretty comfortable where I held mine and I could read everything well.
