inorite? I would have paid $70, tops. But $71? What a noob.
Seriously, if he's happy with his purchase, what's the big deal? I've spent more money and gotten far worse out of it in my life. For example, I paid the Founder's subscription to Hellgate: London. I still feel like an idiot for doing that, and that was almost four years ago.

If anything I can say I regretted renewing my XBL subscription more than this. I'm kinda pissed because they tagged the console as only $35 but charged me $55. I got a free controller and 50% off one game as well, and just the second controller and game ran it up another $10. (The rest was tax).
The PnT people in that store really don't care much about the stuff they sell. I spent some time last night cleaning probably 25+ years of thick dirt out of one of the controllers to get it to even work. I'm about to take apart the console just because whoever did it last didn't put the screws in right. At least everything is functional when you take the dirt out of the equation. (Edit: Took apart the console and it's in perfect condition. After that ass of a controller combined with how badly the NES functions normally I was worried ::) )

Glad all ended well.
BTW: Did you do the internationalisatiopn (or check was it already done) when you opened the NES?
