hello everyone!

After several months of lurking I figured it was time I register. It's good to be at a place where other people appreciate the best type of gaming: classic gaming.

So recently I've been considering buying the snes powerpak but I'm not sure if I should dish out $140+ for the thing!

On the one hand, it'll allow me to play almost any game(excluding the special chips ones), but it's a hefty price to pay.

I really would like to own the actual game cartridges, but that has a negative as well. The games I really want to own are Mega man 7, X2, and X3...all rare games and quite expensive too!

So basically I just need some advice or general words of wisdom regarding my situation. Note, I'm not made of money so both options are not viable. Which one should I purchase? Anyone know if the powerpak will drop in price anytime soon?

thanks!
