Everyone claims to have their bad Game Stop moments, everyone but me. Today I finally took my share so I decided to post it for the rest of the world to see.
I walk into Game Stop and I see a few NES controllers for sale, $1.99 each. Since Game Stop was having a Buy 2 Get One Free sale, I decided to buy three different NES controllers. One controller was jet black, the other two were green.
So what's the big deal? I walk up to the counter with these three controllers that I am purchasing. The clerk asks me why I would want to buy the green controllers. I responded by telling him that I collect Nintendo stuff. The man had insisted that I really didn't want to buy these green controllers, because the cords were too short! I told him that I didn't care about cord length; he snapped asking if he should take them out of the bag to prove how short the cords were. I told him not to do that, that I was going to by those controllers if that was the last thing I did. Reluctantly the controllers were bagged and I walked away with them.
This was the first time that I had received poor service in a looooooong time. That man probably wanted those controllers for himself, greedy bastard :)

Anyone ever see a NES controller like this? I've seen Famicom pirate controllers similar to this, but never NES ones. The only manufacturer listed is QSL. Am I correct in thinking that this is a new release?
