Hear me out.
It really bothers me that people are manufacturing limited edition Game Boy shells. Zelda SP, atomic green Pocket, whatever - you can just replace your cracked case (or perfectly fine case) with a new, cooler one for $5 off Aliexpress. You didn't have to be there at release. You didn't have to put in the work in finding an authentic limited edition. You just spent $5 on the internet.
How does this affect me? I want an atomic green Pocket and and an ice blue Pocket. And a transparent orange Color. But now...who knows if what I'm buying on eBay is legit? I now have to go through the embarrassment of legit-checking online, and always wondering.
Limited edition is no longer limited. We are living in a post-modern world of game consoles and I hate it.
Abolish limited edition case replacements. Standard colors only. Sign my petition.
