Which is a better deal on an N64?

[DKTheArcadeRat]

Both Do Not include shipping.

Deal #1 = $50
1 N64 System
Power cable
TV hookup cable

(8) Games
donkey kong 64
goldeneye
super smash bros
pokemon snap
pokemon stadium
Top Gear Overdrive
star wars episode 1 racer
legend of zelda ocarina of time

1 original Controller (grey)
1 generic blue controller
Gameboy adapter
Graphics expansion card (inside the N64)
1 Memory card

Deal #2 = $30
Nintendo 64 system that comes with 2 controllers, 6 games (turok, star fox, zelda majora's mask, zelda ocarina of time, mario kart, and pilot wings). Also has expansion pack.

Which one is the better deal as I have been looking to buy myself a N64?

Thanks much,
Dave

#2 is better. The expansion pack alone is probably worth more than the system. Not to mention 3 of the best N64 games.

[DKTheArcadeRat]

In case anyone doesn't notice, oth have expansion packs. Deal #1 just calls it something different.

[Trebuken]

I think the gameboy adapter makes the first easily the better deal (if your gonna use it, or collect it). The games are a wash. The expansion pack, if indeed both systems have it, is a wash. The contorllers and memory card have no real value and can be had cheaply enough. Heck buy both and sell what you don't want to someone else...

I just noticed that. I think what you pick will have to be based more on what games you like better.

Both are good deals, so don't hesitate. #2 has a top-notch selection of games, while #1 has a colorful variety. If you end up getting #2, expect to get a memory card somewhere on down the line.

Personally, if I were just starting out, I'd go for #2--assuming it has a power adapter and some method of hooking up to the TV. I noticed you didn't mention that...

[PDorr3]

I would get #1, has some great games in there, although #2 has mario kart, and a great price for both.

[Chuplayer]

I'd go with #1. There are a bunch of good games in there. Enough to keep you occupied for a while, and you could just pick up the games from the second set by themselves later on. #1 also has some nice extra stuff, and you're going to need at least one memory card.

[Jumpman Jr.]

Are any of those games complete? Depending on whether or not some of them are compelte could change a lot. At least thats the way I see it.

[DKTheArcadeRat]

In the first set I don't know which ones have it but some have the manuals>Also, i just emailed Mr. Deal#2 about the games and no they arent complete.

This is the way I see it:

#1) 4 good games 2 controllers expansion pack and a memory card for 50 bucks.

#2) 5 good games 2 controllers expansion pack without a memory card for 30 bucks.

To me it's a no brainer the second one only lacks a memory card and you can get those dirt cheap, plus I don't think any of those games even use the memory card, or require it, not sure those. All I know is that I rarly used mine.

Honestly, the only thing I based it on was the games, everything else in the packages were the same aside from the memory card, and possiblly the connections. The memory card isn't worth 20 bucks, but if the second also doesn't include the cables it comes a little closer, plus you get an extra 2 games. I wouldn't buy them and would definitly choose the games in the second batch, but I think you see where I'm going with this.

[cavein2000]

Either way you get the best game of all time, OCARINA!! I'd say that Mario Kart beats out Smash brothers. Although I like the auction 1 games better overall, 2 is the better bang for the buck. Take 2, wait on the memory card if you end up needing it. I have an N64 with a bunch of games and still don't need it.

[keiblerfan69]

I say go with #1. It has better games. 2 has really common games except for Pilotwings.

[drewbrim]

Just agreeing with most everyone else. No. 2 is the winner and I don't even think it's close. Just to take it one step further, deal no. 1 isn't even a good one by itself without any other options.

Yeah. I did not realize how cheap it was nowadays. Thought it was a little less common because I do not see it too often.

It's still nice to have...two systems in one...

I think i am going to get Deal #2. Unless i find a cheap N64 and some games at Goodwill tommorrow :D

[§ Gideon §]

Just so we're on the same page, this mystical "Game Boy adapter" everyone's talking about is the Transfer Pak (http://store.nintendo.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?currency=USD&storeId=10001&jspStoreDir=NOASTORE&productId=24110&categoryId=14753&langId=-1&catalogId=10001&ddkey=SetCurrencyPreference), right?

[DKTheArcadeRat]

Didn't get either but this one is better in my opinion,

Nintendo 64 Console
3 controllers
2 Rumble Packs
2 memory units
35 give or take a few games with almost all boxes still there.

What is the opinion on this one?

Well...what'd you pay for it?

[DKTheArcadeRat]

I didn't purchase it yet, the seller is looking for the 2 of the controllers. But, it is the same price as deal 1 - $50.

[drewbrim]

Obviously that deal is excellent, so good in fact it should go without saying (or you posting).

Congrats!
