A heads-up for anyone that has imported a GB Player. You can now buy loose US start-up discs from Nintendo for $15. They should work fine with the Japanese Players from what I hear:

I think I'll import a platinum Player now after I've seen this. I was really pissed at Nintendo for not offering it in different colors in the US and I didn't want to use a Freeloader for a imported one.
