Congrats! That is some good info to know. Luckily for me, my preferred color is black.
Yeah, same here actually! When I went to pick up a Game Cube at a local shop though, the only boxed systems they had were in Platinum and Indigo. Ended up going with the Platinum because it still had the inner cardboard packing material. Still, I prefer the black system, along with the stock black GB Player.

OR,
Does a US Gameboy player work on a Japanese Cube?
I never thought about hooking it up to the Spice colored Japanese cube I got. If it works one way, it should work the other? I do agree the key will be to have the correct disk for player.

I don't have a Japanese system, but I will (naturally) be testing the Japanese Game Boy Player on my US system when I receive it in the mail (hopefully next week). I'll post an update then. ]]> Japanese Game Boy Player on a US Game Cube? http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=68557 2012-04-20T00:55:09 -05.00 Austin 13 Does a US Gameboy player work on a Japanese Cube?

or check http://www.gamestop.com/browse/storesearch.aspx?sku=900566 they seem to still have a bunch in stock for $9.99 for the whole thing and they usually have the disk.

Yeah, over the weekend I think I am going to hit a few GameStop stores (ones that I know still have GameCube stuff anyway) and see if I can snap one up locally. Otherwise, I will probably try their web site since they are so cheap there.

Dude, post a WTB here looking for a loose GB player disc. Last time, a lowball war ensued and I think the guy ended up getting one for $8 shipped.

I will probably do that as well.

**Edit: Success! I found a GameStop on the way to work that had a GB Player, and was able to snap it up with the disc for a whopping $10, so much better than tracking one down at a reasonable price on eBay. ]]> Japanese Game Boy Player on a US Game Cube? http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=68557 2012-04-18T23:47:40 -05.00 Austin 13 Japanese Game Boy Player on a US Game Cube? http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=68557 2012-04-18T23:25:29 -05.00 Austin 13 Japanese Game Boy Player on a US Game Cube? http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=68557 2012-04-18T22:22:09 -05.00 Austin 13 Japanese Game Boy Player on a US Game Cube? http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=68557 2012-04-18T22:17:50 -05.00 Austin 13 Originally posted by: Austin

Yeah, I thought about that too. The thing is, the startup discs by themselves seem to be what's commonly missing from a GB Player setup, so it's not as likely I will run into just the disc at a worthwhile price (just going by what I see on eBay, anyway).

I am contemplating just modding the system with a switch in the back. Supposedly it's extremely simple, but I'd like to see about some of these other options first. Nintendo used to sell just the discs on their online store (store.nintendo.com/).
I bought a few last year at $15 ea.

They must have sold out/removed them though.
