not very surprising dont know why Asda didnt just offer them to staff with 10 per cent staff discount that they normally get ,same happened in my local.

you got ripped got it for £61 from Amazon UK!
The thing is the NES mini caught alot of people off guard when it came out with its release being middle/late November, they were selling for over double RRP in the month run up to Christmas but this time it has come out alot earlier, obviously alot more stock and alot more awareness prior to its release after the NES mini

You got ripped - a guy yesterday said he paid very £54!
My point was in less than 24 the same shop is charging £11 more

Yeah I could of paid that but didnt want to do the new account thing and prefer not to deal with Very

Yes me and my brother also got that. There are always voucher codes for new Very credit accounts. It was £30 credit back when you spend £50. So £79.99 then £30 off, then pay the remaining £49.99 + £3.99 postage :wink: Can't remember if click&collect was an option at the time, if so £49.99 and collect from local Collect+ point would've been possible

RRP advised by Nintendo UK is £69 - £79. The next wave of stock will most likely all be sold at £79

What scam are they using? I haven't sold anything on eBay since the original Moto G came out. A buyer tried to claim a refund almost a whole month after the sale saying the phone was faulty. With the added buyer protection, she would have got her money back with no problem and left me out of pocket. I switched to selling on hukd, but the n*bs decided to get rid of that forum.

every old scam available, item not received,fake item,wrong item,nothing in box,parts missing from box,damaged in transit,and a few others take your pick.

How do you know that? Considering the first ones would've only been posted yesterday it seems a bit too soon to make those claims.
It's also unlikely you'd get away with doing that several times and also, if you want to do it, you'd be better off with a higher value item. Why this one specifically?

All avoidable if you know what your doing on ebay, some very basic novice tips are..
1: Always send your items via a method that requires a signature (RM Signed For upwards), people try to save money by sending non-tracked but you are just asking for trouble.
2: Take pictures, lots of pictures. Pictures of the item, its box, pictures of you putting items in box and sealing it (for new/sealed items just take pics of and seals/serial numbers etc for proof.
3: To avoid items damaged in transit scam, simply cover the items value with the courier/RM for what the items worth (i.e if and item is worth £79 then pay the postage cost that covers that amount for any loss or damage) this means you get a refund from the courier/RM if they legit damage it. If its a scam then request pictures.
4:If you want to sell a digital item (code for game etc) then send the code through the post, NEVER send code via message or email.
I could got on and on, but its really easy to avoid scams on ebay.

Can't believe Asda have put them to £79! I work for them and think its shocking. Managed to grab one yesterday still haven't played it yet.

I was pleasantly surprised that Amazon LOWERED their price by £10 and kept their preorder price promise, and as I also managed to apply one of their recent vouchers, I paid £62.99 :smile:

Blimey, having waited this long, will wait for stock to re-appear rather than paying through the nose.

She she didnt get her money back? and why did they get rid of the selling forum?
K0YS to TobiRIP
30 Sep 17#35
No, because I caught her out on a few comments sharing made and then stopped replying to any messages which resulted in the claim closing itself. If she wanted to she could have just pressed the button to escalate and bam, instant refund.

I went to ASDA last night and they had 3 in stock at Newark. Had rang Worksop and Retford. Just by chance driving by and they had one to hand at customer services.

You do realise the people banging on about scalpers, loads of stock coming and ebay scammers are likely to be traders trying to put others off doing the same thing.

People are so dumb, these games have been easy to play on your Android phone, on a Raspberry Pi and PC for years and years. Guess what though, you didn't because they're old games and they're only good for 5 mins of nostalgia.
This is just stupid consumerism as it's worst, people only want it because it's now Official from Nintendo. However they'll find their way into attics by the end of the year...

I think that is the case with the NES but SNES games have held up extremely well I just wish a few more of the classics like Chrono Trigger made there way onto it

ah stupid consumerism, my favourite kind of consumerism.
Lothra to slannmage
30 Sep 17#36
I guess I am dumb then for wanting to own the genuine article and not a cheap illegal imitation, nothing beats the real thing.
I still have my original NES and SNES, I only wanted this because buying GENUINE carts of some of the included games would me mega expensive.
slannmage to Lothra
30 Sep 17#37
Yes you are, especially since this is an emulator and it plays roms Nintendo took from the community. This isn't the original article, this is the same roms you'd be playing on the Pi. but Nintendo are selling you them.
Lothra to slannmage
30 Sep 17#38
Lol, sure Nintendo took from the "community", but hey what did that "community" take from Nintendo? oh yeah, they illegally took their games.
This is an original product, its made by Nintendo, it runs games made by/for Nintendo, and unlike others I don't steal games, I pay the correct company for THEIR product.
The only dumb people are the ones that steal from Nintendo, then try to justify it. :stuck_out_tongue:

You must have :poop: for brains. Nintendo cant even distribute amiboos let alone consoles. You couldn't buy these games for 15 plus years so it was a legal grey zone. I already have every nes snes sega game ever made in my hardrive. Never even play it tbh. Nintendo are too late to the party most pc gamers have them already.
Lothra to Al7777

Resorting to immature insults and using the poop emoji clearly shows that you are incapable of having a mature, constructive discussion on the topic. So let me just list a few basics for you, to make it easier for you.
1: Emulators are not illegal, the roms used on them are a different story.
2: Roms copied from games you OWN are a legal grey area as there is no legal president, but some companies do consider it illegal (like Nintendo).
3: Roms downloaded from the internet, of games you don't own are 100% illegal, this is because the games are still under copyright law, and you are violating that law when you download them, and we all know that people download hundreds or thousands of games.
4: Copyright law in the US is around 75 years, for UK its around 70 years, that means the games you download are still copyrighted for a few more decades (so still illegal).
Just because you couldn't buy a game for 15 years does not make it a legal grey area, if you don't own authentic versions of the games you download then you are illegally obtaining them, again you are just trying to justify theft.
Feel free to reply, I won't read it though since I have better things to do, have a nice day.

Tldr. Offended by emoj haha, did I hurt your feels. Emulators have been wide spread for over a decade now get up to date I own over 800 games if I can't buy it I'll gladly use an emulator and so will millions of others.

Anyone know how long the controller cables are?
andrewperkins00 to lukeandslipknot
2 Oct 17#43
4.5ft so I would recommend buying an extension cable, Amazon have some 6ft extension cables for £5 and they work perfectly.
