This is more about nostalgia than being the best means to play old games. Not to mention parents buying these for kids, of which neither have a clue how to emulate games.

BTW, I just got home with mine.

Got mine at the gamestop in Denham. They only had 6.

I think many people didn't think to try that store because they thought it was still closed from the flood. That's just a guess tho

And it's definitely not worth much more than the 60$ it cost. If I wasn't able to get it today, I would have had no problem waiting till more were available. Lady in front of me in line kept going on about how much they were going for on ebay, complaining that they limited it to one per person and trying to get family members to come by them so they could sell them.

The Gamestop employee came out a little before they opened and said they would be selling them one per household. Even checked people's id's. Because of that a guy who thought he wasn't going to get one because he was 7th in line ended up getting one. Good on gamestop for that.

And I know, csb.

Because some people will be dumb enough to buy them for 400+

yeah grabbed one at the Gamestop on College. They had 12 and I was number 11. Only had two extra controllers so I'll have to wait til the wireless one i preordered on amazon comes in.

Kinda want to gut it and stuff my raspberry pi 3 inside lol.

No idea if this is true or not, but Target on Millerville is saying that they have some.

From target.com: in stock at Baton Rouge East


MIGHT be worth a ride over there or at least a phonecall.

Thanks. I saw that but it's about an hour away and Baton Rouge Traffic . It's more of a spur of the moment purchase.
