I was at Best Buy on Monday night for something else and just asked about the NES. They told me tickets would be passed out at 7am but they're were already people waiting in their cars. Not worth it. I'll wait.

Yep. I'll wait too.

Talking to a young man in GameStop, he tells me that "Nintendo is a smart company and they know what they're doing"...

Yes, they are. They are manipulating the market so they can sell them for more with those stupid add ons.

But Gamestop is adding the addons, not nintendo. So Gamestop is smart but I don't know what Nintendo is doing.

Oh. I didn't realize that. Well then forget me. Still, screw Nintendo.

Where can I get just the controller?

Buying the console from a scalper after work.

You know, I would have bought one of these things had Nintendo not been fucking around with the supply of inventory. Now that I have had a chance to think it over and read about it, I'm not even interested in it anymore. Even when these things are stacked up all over every store in May of next year, I don't think I'd even give it a second thought. My guess is the people standing in line overnight are just looking to flip it on eBay while they still are demanding 4x the original price. So thanks Nintendo for not giving me buyers remorse and saving me $60 that I can spend on my kids for xmas.

Yeah, man. I played these games enough back on the day and I don't have enough nostalgia to care that much for this fuckinf thing. Fuck them and I'm not giving a cent to a bunch of fucks that run a business this way.

Funny thing is I still have my original NES (doesn't work) that I got for xmas in 1987. I have 15 games, the joystick, the gun for duck hunt, power glove, power pad, and a stack of Nintendo Power magazines that I subscribed to in the early 90's. I should jump on this train and eBay the shit out of these. I think they all work with the exception of the console which blinks from purple to black when you turn it on. Must be something easy to fix. Maybe I'll hand out tickets and let people sleep outside my house overnight for a chance to purchase it.

Boom. Played a little Tecmo and Punch Out after the Birds game last night.

Good times.

If those Nintendo Power mags are in great shape, some of them can go for pretty big bucks. I remember taking all mine & dumping them in a magazine recycling bin a number of years ago. I had some high dollar issues, too! Whoops.

I did it online. Checked nowinstock at the perfect time. The links were active for awhile though so we will see if they oversold.
