What I find crazy about the NES is that they were in plentiful supply all the way up to release, so why didn't the people willing to spend £150 on a £49.99 machine pre-order one?!

Same as the original Wii, no one was interested until it actually came out and was popular few weeks after. Then the usual suspects and CEX started noticing.

I didn't even realise. Just checked on the bay! Wow! Its in pretty perfect condition as well. Only other PS1 game I could find is my promo copy of Kula World. Had loads of others too, or so I thought. Might still be in other boxes in the garage.

Nice - got one as well! If Smyths deliver too that's crimbo sorted for my little bro. We both grew up playing Secret of Mana and FF3 and he'll be super chuffed!

What's the reason you guys choose this over the original console? More compatible with modern TV's?

WillyNelson · 27 Jun 2017 at 15:54
