You expect a white one to exist as it is on the back of a box. I guess the box has a black and white picture of the orange/yellow one. You can see the buttons are grey. If you turn the colour picture to B&W, you get about the image on the back.
The screen itself is full colour, but probably placed into the B&W image.

Ha, never even noticed that... I bet you are right... Not sure why they would use a B&W image if they were printing in color, but the grey controls do kind of give it away...

Cool

Does anyone know what the purpose of the orange frame around this game is? I thought for a moment it was to prop the game upwards, but I can't figure it out. Strangest design ever if it has no real functionality.

None what-so-ever... It's just decorative. I think they wanted to make a 'large' game so it would have some perceived value based on size. And then the 'cool option' of being able to make it more portable...

Yeah, never really saw the point either, just a crazy design choice.
