It's a little like the iPod Nano (GBM) vs. iPod Video (backlit SP)... the iPod Nano launch was massive... everyone and their mom knew about it. But the iPod Video came out with like zero fanfare... it might be HD-based, but it's feature-rich, has a bigger screen, more storage, etc. The Micro is nice for its size, and I like the landscape controls, but it doesn't play GBC, the screen is tiny, etc. No wonder Nintendo didn't make a big deal about the backlit SP. It'd cannibalize Micro sales.Xdrive05 said:You see, I'm whining and complaining like a little b1tch because that backlight freaking rocks, and they stealth launched it. I would've held off on my SP and bought this one if I had known. And would probably be a lot happier right now, let me tell ya.
