Buy.com has the Retro Duo Twin NES & SNES Video Game System 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]

    Even though I've got a modded NES and SNES controller with emulators and nearly 3,000 games on my laptop...I somehow still want this even though I got rid of my carts looong ago...

    According to a bunch of reviews on Amazon, this thing is worth every bacon double bacon burger of its $30, and not a lot more. Sound problems and "cheap feel" seem to be the big complaints.

    Also, it seems like this would violate some kind of Nintendo copyrights or something. I'm not a lawyer, but it seems Nintendo would run around trying to stomp these kind of things out, no?

    #3...What is the difference between a lawyer and a snake that has just been hit by a car? There are skid marks in front of the snake. Thank you, thank you, I'll be performing here all weekend.

    $30 and has a cheap feel!? This should be great for the people with all those carts and a broken piece of crap nintendo that cost them a couple of hundred dollars in 198something.

    does this come with hdmi out? I'm ok if it can't do 1080p, but was hoping for 1080i or 720p.
