NES Classic - getting a restock shipment in.


I guess I don't understand Nintendo's logic here. They missed out on a huge opportunity this Christmas season. This faux demand shite is stupid. They make $0 on the aftermarket sales so the ones selling for over $200 on ebay and Amazon don't do shite for Nintendo. In my family alone they would've sold at least 10 between me and all my cousins. I would've bought a few because they were in a perfect gift price range. So stupid.

It seems like the game options are too limited. It only has about thirty games with it. Any emulator I've downloaded has hundreds of them.

What is the hype about for NES classic?


No idea, but google just told me they retail for $60 and are selling on ebay for $300. You could turn $600 into $3000 in a few days if you don't mind standing in the cold with a bunch of nerds for a few hours.

Sounds better than the Jackson Hewitt $500 tax refund advance loan scam.

Nah, baw. I think it's that new Whirlpool dishwasher. There's a new setting that allows you to safely wash your Calphalon pots and pans. PLUS, and it's only heresay, it has automatic baskets that roll out and in with the push of a button.

Yeah but this is hitting on the nostalgia of it all. The look of the console, the feel of the controller, the ability to play it on your TV in your living room like we did when we were kids.

Best Buy is is receiving limited stock of the mini NES Classic Edition tomorrow, December 20th.

These are in store only, so don't go refreshing your web browser hoping for that elusive "add to cart" button

People camp outside Best Buy in attempt to get NES Classic



It's $60 but people are selling them for $300 online.

Yeah I don't get it either. Producing 50% more units would also presumably lower their unit cost and increase both margins and revenue.

I wish I had a 19" as a kid. Hell living room TVs then were 27", 36" was baller, and OT level wa those rear projectors with fuzzy picture.

I think I have a 10" or 13" back then.

But I had a Genesis, never had a NES.

Just because someone is selling at that price doesnt mean someone is buying it. I could set my sell price for my 42 inch LCD at $9999.99 doesnt mean anyone is gonna buy it on Ebay
