I actually hope people buy these at ridiculously inflated prices (as seen in the OP) and then every Friday for the next 8 weeks Nintendo ships another 500k units to Target/Best Buy so everyone else who wants one can get it at regular price.

If the scalpers get hosed on the deal they can still make their money back by selling the unit at cost. If the idiots who couldn't wait a few days to play NES roms get hosed then they're huge idiots and I will laugh at them.

It's meant to be played like an actual NES, with you sitting on the floor 3 feet from the TV criss-cross-applesauce style.
