Is $40 a good deal on a new silver gameboy micro? I was talking to a guy at gamestop today and he said he could order me a used one for $30 from another gamestop, or a brand new silver one for $10 more so I went with the new one. I should be getting it in a couple days. I think it was a pretty fair deal. Now my gameboy family is complete :mrgreen:

It's not rare. It's a poor quality third party controller. Worth less than £1.

I think your prob right about the value but I still think they are quite rare.

There are more interesting 3rd party controllers out there to say the least.

I seem to recall having seen one of those actually, but my memory is hazy on that.

I remember when they got released, they got released alongside a third party steering wheel with the Jaguar branding on it. I can't remember who manufactured them though. I remember the wheel getting average reviews and the controller being slated.

It says 4gamers on the back,it does look like a rubish pad does not sit in your hands right, and pad and buttons are clunky its getting put in for sale pile.

It's not a bad price. It's more than I"d pay. Well to be honest, I myself wouldn't buy a Micro since I find the screen too damn small, and it can't play GB/GBC games. But if you're buying it to complete a 'family' collection, then you might as well pay the extra little bit to get it minty for display. Just don't try to play any RPG's on that thing. You'll ruin yr eyes.
