I dont have one of these stores near me but word is that these stores have the Retron 5 system at a ridiculous price of $39.99 then until the 19th theres a promotion that takes another $12 off making it $27.99. The sku in their system is 29549722

But enough talk. Have at you!

I would definitely be willing to pay cost+shipping+small fee if someone finds one of these and is willing to sell to me.

I think I may have to look into this. Thanks for the heads-up! I'll let you know if I'm able to procure a couple.

Really strange that a high-end clothing store would have a gaming system, but okay, I might be on board. Idk, for $30, thats a steal...

If I feel up to it after work tomorrow I'll hit up my local UO and see if they have any.

Why are "Urban Outfitters" doing this? Is it some scheme to get "retro gamers" into their stores hoping to sell them clothing? :lolz:

They have a section of non-clothing merch like vinyl, shot glasses and other bizarre junk that doesn't sell... Like the Retron 5.

A friend of mine picked one up at Classic Game Fest last year. He seemed to enjoy it when it worked. The slots were picky as fuck and he ended up having to exchange it.

I couldn't justify getting one. If it's just loading the ROM off the cart into RAM and then playing it on stolen emulation code, I would rather just use my hacked WiiU for that. At least that will play Neo Geo and N64 ROMs

Why does it matter whether it's "cool" or not?

My local store is sold out. I guess I will wait for an amazon price drop. Thanks for sharing.

There's an Urban Outfitters three blocks from my house. Even then, I find it hard to justify walking up there for a Retron... Totally fits their store, though. Most of them are half clothes you'd never want to be seen wearing, and half vinyl, hipster toys and coffee table books about pooping.
