Today Apple confirmed that they will be having a special event on September 1st where they will likely announce new iPods and more.

In this video I review the Nintendo Game Boy Light, one of the rarest Game Boys of all time. The Game Boy Light was released in 1998 just in Japan and went on to sell only a few thousand units before being replaced by it’s successor the Game Boy Color which bowed only a few months later. The Game Boy Light was unique in the fact that it has a backlit screen allowing you to play Game Boy games in the dark or in places with less than optimal lighting.

Today the Game Boy Light is quite difficult to find outside of Japan and any working model will be worthy many many times more than what a comparable Game Boy Pocket is valued at today.
