    Re: NES Classic Edition

    You can buy a used NES and a crap load of games for less than those ridiculous ebay and Amazon prices.

    New NES is just not a necessity for me. I enjoy having the original and knowing I can expand my game library at anytime.

    Not knocking anyone who gets it. Just think some will end up disappointed with it.

      I think the video out features are nice and for $60 it has enough of the Big N classics to be a worthwhile purchase, but $180? People are crazy.

        I may try on Amazon to resell, but now that the wife knows it's so rare she's not as urgent on it now for the fam.

        Do you guys think that the Nintendo Switch might offer a lot of the good games on a Virtual Console?

        I'm more wondering if that'd be a better investment...obviously we don't know price yet, but just a thought. I'd be into the Classic for 80-100 with extender or wireless and it's not able to get new games or play SNES.

          My son, who is an Iraq war veteran, had made plans to try and get one of these this morning. He was off from nursing school. I texted him early and he was in line at a local Target.

          He later texted back at around 9 am and said he missed out as they only had 8 and he was 20th in line.

          I told him I would drive over to my local Gamestop and see what was happening as they open at 10. When I got there I was number 8 in line and they had 8 to sell. Happy Veteran's Day to him and all other Vets!

            The price as which these are selling for on Ebay is crazy!

              This should be something very easy to produce. Why such limited quantities?

                Nice and think your son for his services.

                  I wanted to grab one of these for a gift, but Nintendo creating this "false scarcity" is nothing new. I'm okay with it temporarily as long as Nintendo keeps supply flowing through December, though I'm not all that confident Nintendo will respond that quickly.

                  Like most others I don't appreciate scalpers buying multiples and driving up the price for their own profiteering. It's a shame people are willing to spend more than MSRP on this and support such a habit because quite honestly, it isn't worth it.

                    It's the Nintendo business model. They've been doing this since the 80's, with few exceptions.

                      Not sure more shipments are coming in the near future either.

                      Just giving me the itch to go ahead and build a retro pi finally I think

                          Got one at Amazon. By the time I checked out they were back out of stock. This was before 5:01 lol.

                            Yep. I had no shot. Oh well. Probably not being able to get it at launch will save my $60 as I probably won't want it when it's back in stock.

                            Maybe...

                              Tried on Amazon at 5 and it said in stock and every time I tried to add it to my cart it didn't work. That sucks.

                                I, too, tried at Amazon, kept refreshing right at five but I never got a chance to even add it to cart. The option showed up briefly around 5:06 or so but every time I'd add it to my cart, I'd get a return page that showed my cart was empty. And now the page is down again for me.

                                Guess you had to be incredibly lucky.
