	I just bought a Super-Ninendo for myself this weekend
for $166 at Circuit City in Deptford, NJ.  I used their beat-price policy...
I had an add from some place in Rockville selling it for 169.99.

If the only price you've seen so far is $199.99, you haven't been looking
that hard!  

I already have a regular Ninendo, and I can tell you that there is no comparison.
The Super-Nintendo has been rated highy by computer architecture experts, and
it has been said that it has the most potential of all the 16-bit data path game
systems.  (Except for the Neo Geo system which costs $600 and $200 per a game :-).
It has realistic stereo sound and excellent graphics.  

It comes with Super Mario World, which lives up to the Mario tradition of quality
and challenge.

Since the SN system is so new, there are few games currently available for it...most
selling between 50-60 dollars.  I have a theory that this may have something to do with initial
development time and "breaking-in" expenses (since it is a new game system).  
After "the ball gets rolling," I expect the per game cost to come down and games to
be introduced more rapidly.

Good luck!
