Game Boy Micro lands in UK bargain bin

Joystiq tipster, Jay, spotted a new price tag for Game Boy Micro at GAME, a UK retailer. The palm-sized portable is down from £69 to just £39 (about $75).

Despite being $25 cheaper than the MSRP in the US, the new UK price still doesn't push our 'impulse buy' button. Get it down to the £25/$50 range and we'll gladly toss a couple into the shopping cart while we're waiting in the checkout line.

[Thanks, Jay]

No Game Boy Micro faceplates for Europe

It seems Europe just can't win. While they're finally getting Shadow of the Colossus, it looks like they'll never get any new faceplates for their Game Boy Micros. British Gaming Blog contacted Nintendo and received this reply, "I have not heard that Nintendo will be selling replaceable face plates in Europe. They are available in the USA but not over here unfortunately." Ouch!

Well, if Nintendo won't sell them, someone else will. It appears eBay has plenty if you really want to change the look or your diminutive handheld.
