Zeus 09/12/17 12:30:41 PM #55:	The Wave Master posted... Nintendo says to not pay more than 80 bucks for the SNES Classic Edition. (Which is the retail price.) My suggestion to that is to make more consoles so there isn't a shortage, and to directly control the preorder process instead of farming it out to retailers to mess up spectacularly. All I know is that my handicapped butt is going to be at Best Buy on the 24th very very early. That way the wife and I can get tickets to actually get a copy. I suggest you do the same if you want a copy of the retro console. http://gizmodo.com/nintendo-urges-public-don-t-pay-more-than-80-for-snes-1803138702 The real issue is the huge amount of arbitrage which occurs when scalpers create shortages in the market by purchasing product for resale. It happens when almost every new system first hits the market. Of course, because this is a limited system, things are going to be worse. The Wave Master posted... J.J. Is back to direct Episode IX. After Disney, and by Disney I mean Kathleen Kennedy, fired apparent ego maniac Colin Trevorrow, they needed a writer and director for Star Wars episode IX and J.J. was free. I like The Force Awakens, and this just completes the circle. Hopefully, the movie isn't a remake of Jedi because Ewoks suck. Sorry Sobe. (Who I hope isn't dead.) Thus dashing any hopes I had for this trilogy. FML, it's the prequel trilogy all over again but worse. WhiskeyDisk posted... The Wave Master posted...

Unless they overproduce to the extent that half their product doesn't sell and needs to be clearanced out, there will be issues. It's a bit different with normal consoles because it's continuous production for a lifecycle so eventually everybody gets the product. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:886465708] in All Geek's...
