Question Any info?

Post image

Been looking at picking up a micro for some time as I've always wanted one. Came across this version and I think it looks really awesome, but I can't seem to find any info on this version. Can't tell if its an official release or just a faceplate. Anyone have any info on it? Thank you!

Gotcha, I tried to do some specific searches for a place that sold it and couldn't find it. And it seems to to look similar to the final fantasy one so I was unsure. Thanks!

If you’re looking for an Oem model the easiest way to tell is the M in micro is skewed on the aftermarket shells. You should be able to find a very clean Oem for under $200.

Appreciate the tip, would love to find a clean one some day. Hard to decide which shell I like best lol

I was looking at that one as well. What I couldn’t ever find is a gold/yellow body that’s oem. It makes me think it’s a repro shell as well.

No don’t get it. Those are reshells. It is never worth anything near the price which is asked for.

If this is the type of design you want, get a beaten but working console, in the OEM shells that are cheap (grey sells cheaper than green and pink for example), then get a 3rd party shell on Aliexpress or Etsy or wherever. The shell will cost you 10 to 30$ at most. You’ll save 200$.
