Samor,
Actually I am still getting the GBM, I got the SP for several reasons -

#1 the best reason: a good deal. I was planning to get at least one of the Mario games for the GBM anyway. There is this deal in my area, where the SP comes with a free Mario 3 (the newest mario advance "4") which costs $40CDN regularly. The SP costs $90CDN, so it works out I'm spending only $50CDN extra to get it. I have paid more for a joystick for crying out loud

#2 still a good reason: 8-bit GB games. I still want to play classics like Tennis (hehehe) and Six Golden Coins, etc etc. The new SP is the only GB that can play 8-bit games with a backlit screen (unless you count GBA+afterburner). It is frustrating to miss the tennis ball because it went into the glare spot... Picky me

#3 a minor point: I will be using it for some GC games, so the larger screen will come in handy

I don't even know if the GBM will work with GC.

DW,
They didn't really mention it in words. All they say is: "Screens for Game Boy micro, GBA SP and classic GBA are sharp and vivid . . ." Nothing about the new backlit screen. I can't tell if they updated the picture with the backlit screen; the picture only shows a white screen with "Gameboy" on it :\

BTW, I haven't gotten my GBM because the Toys R Us I reserved it at is having a very stupid problem with their warehouse. I was told they had to call a locksmith to open it up. Grrr. They have one silver one in the store, but I wanted the black one, so I have to wait a few more days

I have seen the packaging, which has a transparent window to show off the GBM - cool!
