But if you can find one for less than $150 you've done pretty good for yourself. You should just grab the standard console and see if it suits you and worry about the imports and CD games later if you enjoy the Hu-cards.
As far as the price of the games. Unlike it's contemporaries, there were less than 150 (138 I beleive) US Hu-card games released for the system, so unlike the SNES and Genny there are not the hundreds of games you will be able to buy for $5 or less. The average game on the bay will run you $10 before shipping. And since there weren't to many units sold you probably won't come across many in a used game shop. So grab system spend a few bucks on the staples (Bonk's, Dungeon Explorer, and a shooter) and see how it grabs ya.
