When you travel to Europe, is it by steamship, or autogyro?

A few cans of tuna is all it takes.

Slightly more on the topic of overpriced NES systems.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/AV-Famicom-...1312838054?pt=Video_Games&hash=item233af2ada6

Looks like Game-Tech is not only selling AV Famicom's for $500 but is claiming he can do true stereo. HMMMMMMM SOUND FAMILIAR GUYS?

$400 at most for a modded AV Famicom, $500 is fucking ridiculous.

*edit* You also gotta love how no screws are on that switch in the youtube video. $500 for a system with superglue, gotta love it.

If Skips doesn't have the time or parts, go to the Atari Age forums and hit up a guy named "Yurkie".

Seeing how RGB modded NES consoles go for 400$+ actually makes the AI overpriced thing look as a viable option... any videos of the actual output exist yet?

They only go for $400+ on eBay. You can get then for at least $100 cheaper on the forums. Even cheaper still if you supply your own console.

well, true that... the option with supplying the own console sucks though if you have to send it overseas (shipping costs)... I'm open for offers if anyone here has one to offer ;)

Don't hate, gas station dogs do well in a pinch, and they're cheaper than McDonald's.

Here's the thing, the rgb nes's weren't $400 until the price of the NT was announced.

Anyone see this tease of the packaging that dropped on twitter?

In the end I guess it's a lot like a Computers, sure you could build one yourself for cheaper, but many people will still pay more for the completeness and perceived quality of a pre built system. Even if it's just the custom case they like.

Honestly I feel like the hype and hate around this thing has only served to increase demand for traditional RGB modded NES's. And as far as $400 and $500 overpricing, it just seems like an opportunity for any good modder to undercut these people and steal all their business for himself.

That's business.

I don't know. I think that part of the problem is that we know that there are people who are drooling over this thing and can't wait to fork over the money. And for some reason, some of us are annoyed by that. This device and the hype that surrounds it just rubs me the wrong way. But I can't really explain why, except to say that it reminds me that there are people in this hobby who give more of a shit about aesthetics and presentation than they do about playing the games. The same assholes that buy shelf candy and sealed games. And for the most part, those are the assholes that are driving up prices for everyone.

Smoke, that's crazy but you really should try it if you're ever back out here. Beff if you move out here we can hit up some joints guaranteed to increase our man tit volume.
