According to IGN, the recently revealed GameBoy Player will only be released in black Stateside, whilst Japanese gamers get to choose from black, silver, orange and purple. Quite why this has been decided is unclear, though speculation has it that this is a misguided attempt to make the GameBoy’s image more 'adult'.

Lets hope of doesn’t attempt to ‘adulterate’ our contingent of Players.
