Now this, I can do.

I'm not one to get into video games much, but this is something I can see me buying. LOL!

Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

    Oh man, I saw this in the news and looked over at my wife and she just laughed. She knows it's a losing battle if she thinks I'm not getting one. Memories.....

    Will be buying that for sure. The original NES is the last game console I ever owned.

    You know, this has to be a genius move on Nintendo's part.
    Loaded with 30 classic games, I like that.
    Guaranteed to pull in an older crowd.

    My questions would be....
    Will it play the old cartridges?
    Will you be able to download games?
    Will it be able to store games?

    This is great news! Has all of the games on that that I use to play

    Early Christmas present for the kids who won't play it but I will :)

    As I understand it, it doesn't play or use cartridges so I assume it's an emulator with rom setup. I've already bought a case of hot pockets and Mt. Dew. Pizza hut is on speed dial and no need for a shower for awhile.

    Take my money.

    I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot.  I will smoke anything, though.

    I'm sure we'll end up with one, even though we never get time for video games anymore. I got my husband something similar for the Atari last year. He played once, said it was kind of buggy but I only spent $40 on it so I was t surprised :-/

    Everything I can find say Nov 11.
    Unless they are pre-ordering?

    I will probably purchase the first one I see.

    I will have to have one of these.  I'm already having flash backs to Jr. High school...

    I think we'll be in too.  The kids keep seeing the Gyromite robot in a box in the basement and asking to play with it.

    Wife says I can get one for a late birthday present for myself. LOL!

    Dammit no.
    I checked all over and Amazon sold out in a few hours.

    We stopped at the local dept store, cause they were supposed to have them.
    They were all sold out, but the guy there said, and I quote, "We are supposed to get 4 more in the next week or two."

    Well hell, that many? Are you sure you can get them all sold?

    Well, it seems that it may be weeks before these get re-stocked at stores.
    And Nintendo wonders why Xbox is kicking the crap out of them?

    When HALO head developer can't get a console, then something is wrong.

    Seeing a bunch of numbers from some of the stores, it looks like most stores saw a max of 20 consoles. 
    Xbox execs are laughing about it. 
    One of them made the comment that it's funny that Nintendo would short supplies and not allow any pre-orders and let scalpers jack the prices up 300% or more and Nintendo makes nothing off that.

    I'm seeing them on Craigslist for $300+.  I'm pissed that people do that. I'll get one adventually.

    limited supply increases demand, for some reason people want what they can't get. Happens all the time in my shop.
  • CharlieHeisCharlieHeis Posts: 8,617 ✭✭✭✭✭
    No rush. I'm guessing they'll still be hot through Christmas. I'll start looking in February or March.

    Did you find them at normal price anywhere? They're on amazon now for around $150. Too steep for my blood. 
  • CharlieHeisCharlieHeis Posts: 8,617 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I thought of these the other day but haven't actually looked for them yet.
