PS3 original -> PS3 mid-gen refresh. No media card slots, no PS2 compatibility (and patchy PS1 compatibility), less USB ports for games such as Rock Band... *sigh*

Colin over at "This Does Not Compute" takes a look at the DMG IPS display solution we carry - we'll have more of them in stock mid~late this week. It's a brilliant display that you're sure to love!
Colin, of This Does Not Compute, knocked out a video on the CleanAmp and it turned out awesome. We're biased but love how the video covers not only what it is, but how it's installed and covers the results in detail. โค๏ธ Check it out!
Ok so itโs not the first pure-white Game Boy Color weโve seen, but they always catch our attention. You know, we havenโt seen an all-white Game Boy Advance or SP. Anyone have one they want to show off?

Yes... a *plug-and-play* IPS display solution for your Game Boy DMG. No soldering needed. Even if you've needed a new LCD board altogether, this kit has you covered with its integrated front PCB. Check it out:
Oh wow - a customer, Josue, shared his collection with us and we love it; we can tell he put a lot of love and thought into this collection and setup! Do you have any collection photos you'd like to share?? Let us know!

Kyle B shared his build with us, consisting of components from us and
@bluishsquirrel
(Instagram), looking mighty fine. A real crisp way he saved a salvaged Pocket from Japan and turned it into this lovely console. Weโre glad you made Bluish Squirrel and us part of your build!
You asked and we listened - you want more flexibility with the RetroSix Prestige shells; starting today shells, buttons and screws, and lenses are all separate purchases. Feel free to mix-and-match whatever colors you choose!

A while back, Ben Heck (electrical engineer from element14) made a GIANT Game Boy, and of course documented the process. Can you imagine what this would be like to play? All aspects of the build are covered in the detailed video.
