For Those Who Got Gameboy Micros

I've just found this in Poundland at Meadow Hall, Sheffield (Yes its £1 before any wise cracks). Not sure if its nationwide.

The online price is £9.99.

  • They are already up on ebay for around £3.99 inc postage, no need to guess where the sellers bought them from then!

    Mind you they will still probably sell quite well at that price.
    I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, you can't prove a thing!
    Quidco and Topcashback, £5,687
    ShopandScan, £3,470
    Tesco Double The Difference, £2,700
    Thomson EU261/04 Claim, £1,700
    British Airways EU261/04 Claim, EUR1200

    Is the link cable for micro-micro or micro-advance? Kids have one of each and have been wanting to Pokemon each other for ages! (I should have just got the pink advance)

    Hmm.. my micro came with a nice pouch, and i already have some headphones.. but i might check it out anyway just incase its good.

    On a slightly different note, i spotted Mig Alley in poundland today. Thats an old, but very good PC flight sim. The box saysit won't work on XP, but i did some research today and apparently there are workrounds.. so i might pop back tomorrow.
    (also, there is a "99p store" nearby, not sure if it is a chain, but it had hundreds of Project Snowblinds for Xbox (for 99p!). I just got this for 3.99 and thought i'd got a bargain :( )
    stay lucky!

    i scooped up a couple of the twist n lock controllers too in Chelmsford today - they still function as a normal controller - and pretty good quality too...

    I've never seen any in this one either (swindon). All they have is 100s of Project Snowblind. Nothing else. And they are just in amongst all the "1001 sudoku puzzles" and other cheap PC games.
    stay lucky!

    I brought 2 of these one for me and one for my DD, they are made by LOGIC, who make most of the game accessories, the link cable alone costs 4.99 from any GBA site.
    The case is very sturdy with a rubber edging so if the little ones drop it the machine will not be damaged, excellent value for a £1, worth a lot more
