Game Boy Micro to be Portable Media Player?

A recent interview with Nintendo’s VP George Harrison suggests the company is thinking of marketing the Game Boy Micro as a portable media device by bundling it with the Play-Yan adapter — the device that lets you play MP3s or MP4 videos stored on SD cards on your Game Boy Advance SP or Nintendo DS. The Play-Yan module is going for about $70 in Asia right now, and it seems like bringing it to wider distribution in the States would be a smart idea regardless. Bundling it with the Game Boy Micro could position that device as more of a direct a competitor to the PSP, although there’s still no getting around that 2-inch screen.
