    yeah, that's without a doubt a design flaw, but it shouldn't deter people from buying this thing. as mentioned above... just get a cheap, six foot HDMI cable off amazon, and rest it on your coffee table while playing.

    i know we are living in a wireless controller state these days, but we aren't that far removed from wired controllers, people.

    yeah, thats the way to go. Just plug the thing in and wire it over to the coffee table and play from the couch.

    Or get an extensioncord for the controller...

    The short cord is a real bummer. Why is there a fucking cord at all?!! Make the damn things wireless for fuck's sake.

    If they were cordless there would be an increase in TV sales because we would be throwing the controller at the damn TV when the game cheats! You all know what I'm talking about! Like when you press the jump button and hold it down and Mario decides to do a bunny hop instead of a long jump...Grrrrrrrr.
    :rofl:
    Too true!! Damage control!

    Without the cartridges there should be no "guy you are playing" cheats by him stomping on the ground really hard right in front of the system and causing it to re-set. One buddy used to always "pretend" it was accidental.

    You've just blown your Nintendo to bits because it can't believe someone still does this.

    anyone who has trouble with their old NES games working, i have used this cleaning method on my collection (100+ carts) and have never NOT gotten a game to work. just be careful with the amount of brasso -- it will leave a film on the pins, that is why you have to go back over it with the rubbing alcohol. here is the link for anyone that cares:

    Both.

    I am trying to figure out best strategy. It isnt going to be easy. I have a friend who works at a target in MD. He said they have like 12 to sell and they think that will be the only shipment.

    Not announced. I'm just assuming it won't sell out forever.

    I can still see yanking the controller cord out of the unit in the heat of the moment ... that or sending the mini nes flying off the table.

    I was at the local Target 25 minutes early, probably 20th in line. They came out and said they had 7 of them.


    Ill trade someone a 2016 Lexington or Philly Emek for one...

    How do these stores get such a limited quantity? I may possibly trade an original Yield or No Code vinyl for one with an extra controller.

    Confused as I got this from Amazon:
    The NES Classic will be available for sale at 2:00 p.m. PT on Friday, November 11. Purchases are limited to one per customer, and 1-Click Ordering will be disabled for this item. Please make sure you've updated your credit card and shipping information to help you move quickly through the checkout process. We have very limited quantities of this item, however we will be receiving additional quantities over the coming weeks. Please act quickly at 2:00 p.m. PT on Friday for your best chance at buying an NES Classic.

    I check now and it shows as only available from flippers for $300.
    Will check at 5 to see but it sounds like the bots will get these as well.

    Dont see the item number, hit the link in the email when it wasnt coming up on the regular searches the way it did the other day when I looked and clicked on the button to tell me when it would be available.
    Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition is the way it is listed...and it says
    "Currently unavailable.
    We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock."

    Seems an odd way to display it.

    I can't even find the NES Classic on Amazon. The only things that come up in searches are 3rd party controllers.
