Stumbled across this eBay auction today, and though I'm not positive, I'm pretty sure this is a Play It Loud White gameboy. Is this legit?
Also, the seller mentions that he collects Australian gameboy stuff. Did the white PIL also come out in Australia?

It sure does look like it. However, the sticker on the back isn't the same as the other white DMG I see a lot on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/WHITE-DMG-01-NI … 51a7a89052
The one I linked to starts off with "GHxxxxxxx" while the one you have linked is "Gxxxxxxxx" not sure if it has to do with when it was made or where, but that's something else interesting.
I'd gamble on it, it looks super clean even if it was a grey DMG with a button swap. Go for it.
EDIT: spelling

No. It just looks to be a bad conversion into one. The biggest giveaway is that the white one had black text, this one just has the normal blue. It's just a greyboy with a Play It Loud screen protector and buttons.
EDIT: Here's a real one

Yeah, I was pretty sure it was a button/screen swap, but the picture wasn't that clear and I couldn't tell if the text was blue or not.

the text is blue, it's a greyboy. also, the serial number is consistent with that of a greyboy.
as far as i'm aware the white pil gameboys were only sold in japan.
there's nothing wrong with a nice greyboy, i don't see why you shouldn't go for it
