Same reason the GBA SP does. Because screw you, enjoy the built-in speakers in all their tinny glory.
Why would the GBA SP need a microphone jack, and what do microphone jacks have to do with tinny speakers?

Umm, I may have misread that.

It has a headphone jack, but no microphone one.

You sure it isn't just a combo jack? My laptop uses one. If you can, plug an iPhone headset into it and see.

it sucks living in a one bedroom house.

Have to live with my mom and great aunt.

Not enough tv time to play games.

And my hoarder self doesnt have the space for the stacks of games that I used to have when I had my own room.

I have to clean right now or my stuff gets lost.

dammit.

Thanks for the pic. I think it's just you. Seems that Silverstone is the only company that released cases in that form factor and even they are getting away from it.

It's definitely a novel idea. I do like the idea that the connectors/jacks are easily reachable but then again, how often do you plug/unplug stuff?

I always think the same thing when I read a case review that complains about they didn't use thumbscrews or snap in rails for the disk drive mounting and such. Silly me for wanting my drives to be securely fastened and not pulling them out to rearrange them every other week. I must be mad.

It's come to the point that most American "reality" television shows have subtitles...in English.
