Caveat emptor. If you don't want to pay $300+ for a Nin 64, shop
elsewhere else. Or tell your kid to shut-up and stop whineing (sp) for
you to buy him one. (At least for another 6 months.)
Actually, where I work, we had to start selling Nin64's for $230 just
so we could break even. Margin on a game system is incredibly low. The
cost of shipping and selling Nin64's at $199 was actually causing us
to loose money.
