Pink Gameboy micro for Ã‚Â£20, would you buy one?

Matisfaction · Post by **Matisfaction** » Sat May 12, 2007 8:20 am

Just spotted one on ebay (BNIB), Bit of bargain really and will come in handy on train journeys but it's bright pink. Doesn't bother me that much but I just wondered if it would bother any of you guys on here?

Hell you can just paint the damn thing if you're worried about the colour. I'd take it if I needed/wanted one.

I have no problem with Pink. Maybe when I was 13 and filled with peer-pressure and hormone induced paranoia that everything except black meant you were gay, and that if I was gay it would be the worst thing ever, but then I grew up.

Yes I'd buy one, obviously assuming I wanted one, as I'm secure enough to use it even if it was a bright neon pink

I don't know how much they usually go for, but if it's a good deal who cares what color it is, and like Skynet said, you could always paint over it if you're that worried about it.

You can replace the covers on Gameboy Micros anyway, can't you?

It does not bother me, but I would not get one out of the fact that I have an SP already.

The Pink GBA Micros are a very metallic deep red / pink anyway. They're not as full on girly accessory as the pink DS or PSP are.

Wait, it's a Micro. They have replaceable covers, so just switch it out with something better.

The faceplates on micros just snap on and off. Easiest thing in the world to change them out. Hell yeah I would buy it, even if I couldnt change the faceplates.

is it just the face plate thats pink or the entire console? and can you get face plates now? i remember people moaning about the fact that you couldn't get them.

For someone who isn't bothered about it being pink, you seem to be really concerned about whether it is pink or not

My mobile phone is transparent with a baby blue tone and probably manufactured pre-WWii. Still, nothing could replace it *hugs his Nokia*

heh, just curious really. I was actually thinking of getting a black faceplate as the pink & black combo would look rather nice

I'd pick one up for that, I'd rather it be a dark or neon pink than a powder pink though

Nintendo never officially promoted that particular feature of the Micro in Europe, nor did they release any face plates over here, as far as I know. You can buy unofficial packs of multiple colours on eBay for about a fiver, though.

The Micro itself will either be black or silver. Judging from the fact you said pink, it is probably the silver one.

No, it is entirely pink.

I bought one for my ex last year when they were Ã‚Â£40.
Its not as 'pink' as it looks on the packaging though, its more of a light magenta and very metallic looking.
