I know I’m in the minority but I prefer the black models instead of the limited edition.

The limited edition orange accents are awesome but I feel the transparency distracts from being immersed into the game.

Anybody else feel the same?

    Im gonna cover it with dbrand skin anyway. I would love to have the removable shell case though, and the illuminated sticks

    I personally think think the black model is too boring. If they gave it an interesting pattern or added more colors to it, it would look a lot better.

    im with you. May be that i did not have the transparent gameboy back in the day. But man do i hate transparent tech. it’s so freaking ugly to see all this dark green boards… idk, i always hated it on any handheld/console.

    I’m with you minority friend. I think the LE is pretty ugly. I may be a 90s kid but the transparent aesthetic never sat with me.

    I was already planning a shell swap thanks to the new screw posts, so I didn’t really care all that much for it. I’m gonna make a purple/black Deck but give it the orange accents because I like loud color combos.

    I’d love a shell that was half life themed rather then having to get a skin decal (which I can’t use as I don’t have a damn hairdryer).

    I like both, but it was hard to find a transparent case that I liked to show off the limited edition. So I went with the black model.

    I was going to go all black then my wife talked me into getting the LD, I’m happy she did it looks awesome.

      My wife said it looked “evil” and I bought it anyway. I think it’s perfectly reasonable people do or don’t like it, but I think it looks great.

    Well, not that I can choose, but I don’t see why people are so hyped about LE. Especially since there is literally a ton of third-party shells of all imaginable (and even some un-imaginable colors). As for my personal taste… this reddish color of joysticks is nice (but I still don’t understand what hue it has… on some photos it’s more like red, on some more like orange, and on some - something in-between), but I don’t like transparent shells.
