Awaiting My Micro!

[Stoof]

Ugh! That's all I can say. :angry:

Angry, angry, angry ( :angry: )!

By the looks of it, a majority of major retailers won't ship the Micro until Monday, the 26th, in America, so I suppose it's safe enough to assume that my Micro won't ship from Amazon until then. Obviously you Europeans can't get it until October, but if I manage to get it this week, I'll tell you what I think.

I seen one yesterday here in the uk in game shop that gets import goods in. Couldnt believe how small they are. They also had in limited edition DS machines from the pokemon centres which looked pretty cool.

[Stoof]

Eh. If I could only find the micro around here :'(.

[DiemetriX]

anyone know when thay will be released in europe?

[Nintenchris]

anyone know when thay will be released in europe?

4th of November mate! not too long to wait eh!?!

It seems that the USA Micros were delayed a bit in America, most game shops and online retailers are getting them in tomorrow or Tuesday 27th September.

I thought the release date was September 22nd but that must of been the shipping date to retailers, not the date they dispatch to customers!

I can't wait for VGP to ship my one! (They are getting them in Tuesday).

:D

[Stefkov]

do they have rechargable batteries and are they the same plug into the micro as the ds? cos i havn seen this info anywhere

[Cheapshot]

I'd rather play on an SP, The Micro looks like a struggle to use.

[I like nintendo]

if you have a gameboy, there is no need for a micro, wear a long shirt and no-one can see it, save yourself the approx 60 pounds?

I have an orignal GBA and I have a DS, but I really want a micro. That thing looks so sexy (for a video game machine that is...). I really hate using my GBA because the lack of a backlight, and my DS is great, but not always ideal to carry around / plus I think GBA games have some sort of lag when you move around with the D-Pad. Am I the only one who feels like it's a little slow or sticky sometimes? I dunno.

The Micro looks cool and I'll probably pick one up the black system w/ the silver faceplates around my birthday (Oct. 10)

[Sooj]

I'll get one when it goes on sale for about £40 (which may be years away). May it be on ebay, online retailers or even the high street.

[Owen]

VideoGamesPlus are now stating they are getting them in 29/09/05, i think i'll cancel it and get it from a UK import shop!

:bah:

[Mimternet]

I don't need a Micro, but I want one! It's more wantable than a PSP.

[ShadowV7]

i've got every gameboy and a DS,but i still want one

[Owen]

God for the first time ever i'm EXTREMELY dissapointed with VideoGamesPlus

Around End of August i asked VGP to put the Micro on there website for me to preorder one, they replied back and stated the minute it's on the site they will let me know, which they did.

I IMMEDIATELY preordered one (1st September), so i was literally one of the first.

Today i sent them a email, and they replied back stating the Micro is on Back-Order, now i could well be mistaken so i apologise in advance, but Back-Order means it was In Stock and then Sold-Out? Right?

So that would mean, they literally got about 5-10 micros in? because i SHOULD of got one of the first ones, they literally sent me 'links' in my email stating how they have only put it up and follow the links to preorder one...

Well it doesn't matter now, i've cancelled my VGP order, and i will buy elsewhere. Of course they haven't lost my custom entirely, but i'm VERY dissapointed that it took them 2 weeks to tell me this.....

:hmm:

Only problem now is every UK import shop are selling them for £99.99! But at least i can get a FAMICOM version! :D

[Stoof]

Heh. Try GameStop.com. They are processing my Micro at the moment under first-day business delivery.

Well i've ordered from Play-Asia now, i used EMS shipping so i should get it late this week/early next week. I bought a Famicom version and it came to £87

I WILL get a customs charge, but EMS doesn't seem to go over the top like UPS do and thats who Gamestop use.

I ordered a PSP Game from gamestop last month and UPS gave me a custom charge of £20+ when EMS would of gave me one for about £13 i reckon.

I was going to use 'Yes-Asia' but i'm not sure if it will ship in 1-2 days like they say, and i don't like the fact you can't cancel etc..or return it. I don't mind buying games from them but not consoles at this time.

Problem solved now hopefully! FINGERS CROSSED! :)

[Stoof]

GameStop ships 1st-day business FedEx.

[Owen]

It's coming today by EMS! I cannot wait! 2:00pm exactly i will get it (don't ask, it's always that time).

I wonder how much custom duty i got??? I'm guessing anything up to £30 god damn it! :hmm:

Nevermind! Just have to wait and see! ;)

I bought: Banjo Pilot, Boktai (it's raining today, so that probably can't be played), Metroid Zero Mission, Nes Classic Mario Bros (which is damn hard) for it!!!

I already have Mario Pinball (not too good) and Wario Ware Twisted, so i have quite a few games for it now!

:D
