NES Classic Edition Sold Out

Bummer, I was actually going to try to get this on my birthday which is in 6 days, but now I'm going to have to wait for a restock. I can get it from somewhere else online but I'm not going to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for it since they're being resold for people who already bought it. The system by default is $60.

Thoughts on this?

Ehh I have a working SNES with a shit load of games so I'm not bothered

My family's NES still works after all these years but this new NES is the perfect Christmas gift for my nephews

Already have an NES + VC games on 3DS/Wii/Wii U. I'm good.

My dad was planning on getting one (even though we already have every supported game on NES). He'll be sad.

No idea why Nintendo bothered making so few of these

That's really cool that you two still have yours. I never owned one and I thought this would be a good chance to actually experience owning one to some degree without actually having to buy one secondhand.

I still want to get it but I'm going to wait for Nintendo to restock it, because I'm not gonna pay any higher than $60 for this.

Mind you, I don't have an RCA TV to play the NES so I can't get an actual original NES, I have no way to convert it to HDMI.

I beat the Wii U never had that problem.

Hopefully they dedicated their quota of barely making anything to this instead of new titles like the problem we had with the Wii-U

I really hope they restock soon. The people who bought it just to sell it on Ebay for over $5000 are fucking scumbags.

I'd do the same thing too because people are idiots and will pay that much for things like that.

Similar thing happened when Sony took PT off PSN and people who still had it were selling their PS4s for thousands.

I see. Well I'm not a moron to buy it for $5000. I'm going to wait until its hopefully restocked. I'm not gonna pay over $60 excluding any tax or shipping.

Yeah, you can still get hyped for the new production of the Genesis.

Sorry its just I never really saw much appeal with the Sega Genesis. I had a Super Nintendo growing up.

A local target here only got 11 units. A best buy got 6. One guy bought 6 of them and they are on ebay for $300+.

Also got calls all day asking if we carried them (which we should but we dont).
