If you want a NES Classic Edition (and you should[1]) but don’t want to pay hundreds on eBay (and you shouldn’t), you’re in luck. ThinkGeek has a few in stock that its parent company[2], GameStop, mysteriously didn’t sell back when everyone was trying to buy them. They’re on sale right now,[3] and will probably run out within an hour.
But the catch is they’re not just selling them straight out — you have to buy some swag along with each console, bumping the price to a minimum of $140. Money-grubbing conspiracy, you say? How could you think such a thing of a respected company like GameStop?
Anyway, it’s not like you have a choice. US only and one per customer, please.
There are six different bundles, each centered around Zelda, Mario, Tetris, or Mega Man. You get the NES Classic and a few knick-knacks, like a Sheikah slate notebook or Mega Buster mug. The one pictured up top seems the most practical – who wouldn’t want to decorate their retro gaming cave with a few old NES game box posters?...
