I stumbled upon an original Game Boy in mint condition a few days ago. What striked me as odd about it was the box, though. It looked like this (whithout the stickers, of course):

What's the difference between this and the regular Game Boy, packed in this box:

Obviously the first one includes less stuff, as it says on the box, but still. What's the story behind it?

bottom one is the older one...the gameboy was originally released with a FREE game UPON LAUNCH. (try nintendo giving a free 3DS game UPON 3DS launch, NOW) that was called Tetris..idk about you..but most likely the zelda one later when Nintendo didnt give you all those free goodies because they didn't have to, cause the gameboy was printing money...while the lynx and the GameGear printed out shit

Ah, it makes sense. Tetris couldn't have been boxed with every single Game Boy for so many years. Do you think it's worth 10$? It's completely new.

A boxed brand new original Game Boy, for 10$ ?

You should jump on this offer, then keep it safe, one day it will be more valuable than gold.

I'm serious.

    Thanks ken

    Great game. But I'd buy it straight up before paying for prime. Unless you order something everyday from amazon, not worth it imo
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm one of those people that Amazon loses money on the Prime subscription with

    I abuse the fuck out of it

    Pain in the ass, don't see it anywhere on the desktop site, had to pull it up on my phone
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Think they gave up on the website and mainly focus on the app
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Desktop site > mobile site > mobile app
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Mobile app is such absolute dogshit, I haven't used it in SO long
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah mobile versions better people don't think about how apps are just shrunken down websites
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Could be the phone connection etc I've mostly been fine with the app
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

    Agreed. Crazy how both seeking a job at Amazon, and subsequently quitting Amazon, are both some of the best decisions I've ever made
