Well that's pretty much bullshit
ShoothimNow:
I hate you all... just caved and spent $100 for one on Craigslist, CIB played once. Woot... April finds.... lol...
Too Beaucoup:
Luckily, you can build or buy a Raspberry Pi for like $30-$50 and have hundreds of games from all of the consoles. Why anyone shelled out $60 and sometimes more to scalpers for the Classic, which is just a Pi, in an NES shell... I'll never understand.

Because it's official Nintendo hardware, not some crappy printed shell with a Pi inside and some random USB controller.
I mean, I understand what you're saying, but they're still not the same.

Agreed.
I own both a Mini and a Pi. There are plenty of reasons for owning both. But I still agree with the statement that there is no reason to pay more than $60. I refused to pay more than that from the very start, and that will never change.
ShoothimNow:
I hacked mine already, and put 1308 games on it (tons of hacked roms). This thing is amazing (just to brag). Couldn't last a day it seems with the 30 original games.
