    Nintendo Gameboy Play It Loud Clear with black text instead of pink.
    I've bought this on Ebay Germany.
    What is it? Where do they come from (from which country)? Does anyone have one? I have two of these little bastards, and will finally find out where they come from...I can not even sleep because I do not know where they come from, after one year of research i could find out anything about it!:shrug:
    Both are "Made ​​in Japan" and both have a white D-Padrubber.
    If you know anything about it please leave a comment!

    In Europe all have a pink text, are the black text Play it Loud GBs first batch from North America? ...because the cpu number is so low

    Mine had black text, I remember that clearly AND I know I would have had a fit and probably scratched it off the text when I was a kid.

    Mine´s have BLACK TEXT and it is the UK version, that in fact don´t say PLAY IT LOUD at all in the box. (but is a PLAY IT LOUD)

    So i guess the UK versions were distributed in the US and in Germany and are the ones with Black Text. In UK some PLAY IT LOUDS were launched with PLASTIC CASE and some others with hard paper case as well.

    That´s all what i know.
