Platinum GameBoy Player; Japanese Unit

The GameBoy Player for the GameCube only came in standard black here in America (not sure elsewhere). For long I have always wanted a Platinum GameBoy Player for my Cube, so I finally took the plunge.

Luckily, the player was already here in the States, so I didn't have to fork out alot for shipping. It came with a Freeloader disc, which I needed anyways since my Q is no longer modded to play American games.

Looks alot better than the black player. Guess sales for the player weren't enough to warrant a color release.

Oh, I'm aware that there are other colors. I was just saying that the States only got Black. I know Japan got all other colors, but I wasn't sure about other regions.

Very nice - I picked up the exact same thing with the Freeloader disc. The disc works but I doubt I will ever use it. I checked ebay and it doesnt seem to be on there very much or often. I wonder if it is usually taken down by ebay due to illegal practices etc ?

You know, that's a good point. I've always wondered that myself. Glad I finally got one now! Haha.
