[quote name='j.elles']Possibly get them for 50 at some point. But Reggie or said that when one kind of micro sold out, or was completly shipped i guess, they would release another faceplate kind. That makes me think this really is just for certain groups of people. Part of that tapping non/former gamers.[/QUOTE]
I think they have said that the micro is a limited run. It costs them so much, when demand is gone, the product will be gone. There is probably no way for them to drop the price significantly in the next few years. By then, you'll be playing your GCN games on the go. So there's no reason for them to continue the product indefinitely. (Besides, they are not going to be shrinking the technology much more than it is in the micro...)
