AMAZING deal on the new SNES 2's, but I heard they were crap compared to the originals. Is this true?

The RF output is gone; the expansion port is gone also

Not to mention the shitty plastic they are made of.
The cart doors are very prone to breaking.
Welfare SNES it is. Overall a much crappier, cheaper machine. I don't know why anyone in their right mind would buy one instead of an original SNES.
But you seem hell-bent on getting one, since you think they are so awesome. Nothin anyone says is going to stop you.
BTW, how much was yours? I seriously hope you did not buy one of those 100.00 packages.

umm I did pay 100$, it IS new, I have wanted one for a long time and the plastic is not shitty at all, I know alot of people who own them. I swear when 1 person says somthing is bad on this forumn everyone follows the pack. THis isnt a thread on my buying descision, its a thread telling people taht you can buy them at cart-mart.

well I whent on ebay for them and they were like 130-160 new, so I bought mine for cheaper off of cart-mart and I wanted a new one, so I guess I did bad, but whatever, I got what I wanted, I never heard they were shit until now and have played on them before, they seemed fine to me, well I guess I will see.

The SNES 2 is great. Its still as well built and I never had any problems with mine. The loss of RF and and the Exp. port is no big deal. I'd probably say the same about s-video too, when I tried out the s-video cable on my old SNES a long time ago I don't remember seeing seeing a noticeable difference..it's a 16 bit system using sprites, afterall.

I have a SNES2 and it has never failed me, also the RGB is easy to fix, just three wires, and once you mod it, the RGB ouput is better than a SNES1 (too dark).
I don't care about the RF, I never use it, if it bothers you that much, you can pick up an RF unit for the N64, they are compatible on the SNES2.
The lack of S-video is bad though, to mod it you would probably need a little pcb, unless you are working with SMDs.
Plus it looks much better than the SNES1 IMO.

I didn't know the SNES had S-Video. I bought my SNES 2 for about $20 at Best Buy in summer of 1999 I think. I don't give a rat's ass anymore about that system. You had it for years and then you want another one that looks different. It plays the same. You are interested in the chase and not the product. You will be happy with it for a little while then kick yourself for getting it. The same goes for Neo collectors. They finally get all the games and when there is nothing left - they toss them.
