    I went to a Big Lots yesterday and didn't see any. I'm probably going to another one today because, Big Lots is shutting down over 100 stores! Everything in the one a went to yesterday was 20%. Just to et you guys know.

    20% off or 20% of the total? That means this Famiclone would either be $8 or $2 respectively. At $2, I wouldn't hesitate buying one. Candy bars cost more than that these days.

    20% off, so it would be 8$. They didn't have the Famiclone though. Also I hit a Big Lots that I thought was closing too(it isn't) and they also didn't have any. I think it's a regional thing.

    Thread revival indeed.

    I also found illegal immigrants selling these at the mall last year. Although, I might pick one up for $10 anyway, maybe Megami Tensei II will work (doubt it, but, meh.).

    So did you actually check for citizenship, or are you just a racist fuck?

    Maybe he read about the bust in the paper afterwards, and it mentioned the sellers were illegal immigrants. For a person who apparently hates racism, you're pretty judgmental.

    Oh yeah, I'm sure that's exactly what happened.

    Hehe. And I'm sure the gentlemen selling Famiclones at the mall were everyday citizens. Anyway, I'll stop poking.

    The other day, a friend was saying how dogs aren't nearly as nice of pets as they seem to be. I told her that I have a great dog. I said he's just like dogs on TV; for example, "he loves bones." To this, she said, "Ew! You've got a sick mind!" I looked at her strangely.

    Who has the sick mind?

    Whether or not ANYONE is racist is not of importance to this topic, or in life. If the person selling these cheap, bootleg "superpowerjoyIII' units is Caucasion, African American, chinese, hatian, whatever, they'd all get the same sentence, regardless of race or gender. It's not the color of one's skin that determines whether the person in question good or bad, nice or a jerk, or illegaly immagrated or not (It's basically if they run away when they see the men in the black suits :P). Fight hate with love, not more hate.

    Now that that's over with, we can get on to the subject at hand:

    Anyone know were else I could find these things? I'm not sure that the Big lots in my area has one, and I think that the one's in the mall are $50 . I just got an FC-to-NES adapter for practically NOTHING, and it's no good if I don't have any Famicom games (even if they are pirated ).

    Can I just say this thread has taken a sharp turn into Whatthefucksville?

    Can I also say I haven't seen these things at any Big Lots recently (though since the kung-fu dvds seem to have dried up, I haven't been going to Big Lots as much)?

    Additionally, can I mention I've seen the 7500000000000000000 in one with the N64 and SNES lookin' controllers in mall kiosks again this year?

    Oh.

    Looks like I just did.



    PS - to all of you turning your nose up at these things because they're obviously inferior to your AV modded toaster with composite video out and 7.1 surround or whatever the heck you NES |33+ are into these days, relax and let the rest of us have our fun. Yeah, it's cheap Chinese junk. No one is debating that it's not going to be as good as a real NES but it's not going to fall apart in your hands either. Last time I checked, this hobby is still supposed to be about having fun. Sometimes I think people get a little too caught up in the details and lose the script somewhere along the way.
