    I found it by random chance of checking the nowinstock site as a Gamestop online drop happened. I wasnt even really actively looking


    The unit is cool and all... but the Raspberry Pi is a lot better TBH

    Has anyone located these after Christmas yet?

    I have been checking. Apparently most Targets have been getting a few units once every week but no one knows exact day they come in. I'm not sure how, probably inside job, but the workers at each Target I've been to, told me that "somehow" people know when the shipments come in and they line up those days.

    They have come down quite a bit. I think I'm going to hit up ebay.

    Yeah, isn't that crazy. It's waaaaaay easier to get a brand new system (or pre-order anyways) than it is the NES Classic.
    So dumb.

    Still can't buy one without an outrageous markup.

    I've been searching too. Nothing.

    Haven't been able to land down a restock yet...

    If you have one and are bored of it I'll take it!

    To the people looking for one, what's the most you'd pay? The reason I ask is because I think one of my local stores has one, but I'm not sure what they're asking. If it's in your price range, I'd be happy to buy it for you and ship. Would also provide pics of the unit and receipt etc.

    Yeah, they are legit. I have used them a few times in the past For this, and also for a PS4 a few years ago
    I have had 2 notifications this week via text (I havent turned them off yet), and saw a buy button, and in one case, out of curiosity, was able to get one in my cart and go to checkout.

    A month or so ago, because their notification, I was able to score 2, one for me, and one for a friend.

    yes. It is simple.

    Here is the video I used. Really couldnt be easier. I even screwed it up at first and it didnt matter or mess up my system

    Since then, they improved it, so instead of 90-ish games, you can put almost 700 on

    For the hack, where you do actually find the games to upload to the NES Classic? Also, do they look at good as the ones that come with the NES Classic?

    Ok, cool. I'll probably give it a go when I get bored with the 30 games that comes with it.
    I put a notice on nowinstock.net to update me when a controller becomes available. No way am I paying more than $10 for a second conrolller!
    I also bought two 10 ft controller cord extenders.
    Supposed to come tomorrow.


    There goes my weekend! hahahaha
