As with every other GB release, it's compatible with the software from other regions. Advantage to importing- getting the system early.
Oh. Without the benefit it's just for impatient gameboy fans then. I guess I'll stick with my Summer statement.
Theres no territorial lockout on ANY GB systems. You can play JPN games on a US system, vice versa.Quote:

Benefits of importing is getting to play it before it comes out stateside.
Isn't that just what I already said?
Wow that's really cool. I only ask because I haven't had a Gameboy since the original way back in the early 90's when Judge Dread was all the rage. (Maybe that was gamegear, I had both) And i'm looking forward to getting back into the portable game and knowing I can play some quality japanese titles along with everything I've missed thus war (Mario re-releases including Yoshis Island, Warios, Metroid Fusion, the New Zeldas, advanced wars, golden sun, klonoa, etc.). I can't wait.Quote:

This summer though, this summer.
Heya, got mine earlier today a touch late (got shipped to my old address), I plugged it in almost 3 hours ago to charge, at first this orange light was on, but it's since turned off.
Any idea how long I'm supposed to charge the thing the FIRST time I use it? I don't wanna power it up prematurely and screw up the battery. If anyone knows, much help'd be appreciated :D
I believe that once the orange light goes off (the charge light, the one on the bottom), the battery is fully charged.Quote:
