Official Complaint: Sega Genesis Week

[Flack]

I don't know any better place to do it, so I guess right out here in the open I'd like to lodge a formal complaint concerning Sega Genesis week.

So far, this stupid idea has cost me $60.

Not only did I blow $20 on the Genesis/SegaCD combo I found earlier this week, but at the flea market today, I stumbled across this package for $40.



Sega Genesis 3 w/2 controllers, power adapter and video cable.

Boxed:
Aladdin
Greatest Heavyweights Boxing
Sonic 2 (x2)

Loose:
6-Pak
Batman: Forever
Gargoyles
Jungle Book
Sonic 2
Pac-Man 2
Ms. Pac Man
X-Men

Also included in the package was a Dual Turbo box, which includes two wireless adapters and the main unit. The controllers and unit are all still sealed in plastic. The box is in okay condition.



And if you think I'm upset about Genesis week, you should talk to my wife. Between the C64 I got from Maxlords last week, the two Dreamcasts I picked up from Autobotracing, and all this Genesis swag piled all over the kitchen table, we've been eating on TV trays for a solid week now!

At least one person in the family seems happy about it all.

I'm pretty sure this picture confirms what we were saying about your avatar headline in the "Explain Your Avatar!" thread.



Anyways...You got good deals there, don't be upset about spending money. Money is good, but games are better!

I know, I'm just worried the next topic of the week will be Neo Geo consoles or something else that's gonna cost me a fortune.

PUT A SHIRT ON THAT KID BEFORE HIS NIPPLES FALL OFF

Or am I too late?

i think 20 bucks for the sega cd is decent ( I wouldnt pay that much but whatever) but 40 bucks for that other stuff seems kinda expensive.

[Flack]

Meh. I figured, that's a little under $3/game, and then $5 for the Genny 3 and $5 for the brand new wireless controllers. If you figure on $2/game, then that bumps the system and wireless controllers up to $10 each. Either one seems worth it to me, and even if it was a buck or two high, the guy I bought it from needed the cash worse than I did.

BTW, the other lot was for a Genesis 2, Sega CD, all cables, 2 regular controllers, and one fighter stick for $20.

It's all in the name of gaming, it's all good.

Very nice score. It's amazing what you really CAN find when you keep your eyes peeled.

That's my target for this year. A model 3.

Now THIS is my kind of complaint. One where we turned you on to something good.

Our sincerest apologies, and... ENJOY!

Game on, brother Flack.

Your boy is playing Revenge of Shinobi... *sniff* You're raising him right, man! Those are excellent deals. I'm glad that both you and your son are benefitting. Seriously, that photo almost brought a tear to my eye. A tear of joy, that is.
