I Bought a Game Boy Light

For those of you who don't know what the Game Boy Light is, it was pretty much a Game Boy Pocket with an indigo back-light. The system came out right around when the Game Boy Color was released.

Due to sales of the Color increasing, the Game Boy Light didn't get much feedback, therefore was discontinued shortly after, leaving only around 12,000 units being made, and was only released in Japan.

While the Game Boy Pocket took two AAA batteries, the Game Boy Light took two AA batteries to prolong the life of play for the back light when being used, and had a protruding battery cover.

Here's a few pictures of my purchased product:

The item is being shipped out today from Japan, and will make an outstanding addition to my other rarities such as the Panasonic Q, and Nintendo 64DD.

Can't wait.

Awsome. Well it's good to know that people wouldn't be fooled as easily back then.

The backlights on those are pretty cool, but they can hurt your eyes after playing for awhile.

Looking pretty.

Heard those suckers gobble batteries like a superscope, though so may need to invest in some rechargeables!

Yeah. I mainly got it for collectors purposes. I'll probably play a game or two before bed, but won't play it hardcore.

It'll be pretty much displayed along these guys:

Really now? I thought maybe since they are using AA's, that it'll help out. Hmm.

I've got rechargeables, cause I play 360 alot, so my controllers need them. Haha.

Haha, thanks, thanks. I get that alot, but I appreciate the comments.

Had the Q for about four years now. The crazy thing is, since I see it everyday, I don't think it's rare anymore. I almost feel like its a system everyone has.

The Q sounds more impressive than the Wii.

Congrats though!
Alot of people sheer away from the price tags of rare items such as the Q, or DD, but you have to put more thought beyond the price tag. Ask yourself a few questions:

-Is it worth it to YOU?
-Are these a dime a dozen?
-Resell value?
-Collectors item?
-etc.

It's been since November 2005 when I won the Q in an eBay auction. I remember running duel computers cause I was scared one was gonna lock up. The time ended, I was the winner, and forked out $385 bucks for the Q. I paid $422 bucks for the N64DD back in July of 08, which I also won in an auction.

Crazy thing is, I rarely play them! It's more of the fact that its expensive eye candy than anything. But I accept that, because I know that one day, I'll be able to resell them for more than what they are going for now, but for now, it's an item that I adore in my collection, and is one of my most prized possessions.

Did these items burn a hole in my pocket? Why yes they did, but as the days turned into months, months turned into years, and I was able to make more money, I look back, and I'm glad I made the dive into buying these things, before they increase in value even more.

I think I'm going to steal all three of those items. Especially the DD.
I apologize in advance.
