Buy.com has the Retro Duo Twin NES & SNES Video Game System (White/Blue) for $30 with free shipping. This redesign incorporates both the NES and SNES into one system that is nearly smaller than the controllers themselves. [Compare]

    How about posting this again once the price changes... We've seen this at $30 for the past 6 months

    I think that's badass, but I'm trying to decide for sure. Guess it would be a lot cooler if I actually had any NES or SNES games.

    I still have all of my cartridges for NES (never had a SNES), and we even overclocked on of the NES's. Yes, I have access to two.

    I am waiting for the DVD burner options, so I can save all 8 bit "saved game" files from playing so much.

    lol - 8 bit games with HDMI out.

    So, do you still have to blow into the cartridge so it gets recognized correctly?

    If I receive this POS with #11's free Bata Max player, it is only because #11 wants it shoved far up his ass!

    Component output at a minimum, let the console apply some (minimal) antialiasing to bring the picture to 480p and then output it on my screen.

    My TV (a BRAVIA btw)'s composite inputs are junk, worse than on my old 720p set.

    Back in 95, my buddy got this game copy device that can copy an SNES game down into 2~3 floppy disks. Then we play the game off those floppys.
    It was cost $250 at the time, which migth equal about $600 dollar today. We copy every freaking SNES game in the local video store. Wonder if buy.com should sell the retro version of it as well...

    #14, my friend got one of those in Hong Kong and played it on his Famicom system. Famicom was basically just a Japanese SNES.

    At least the days of blowing on the cartridge and into the NES are behind us.
