Lol at "world's first."

I'm in the process of building one, but I have no idea when it will be finished, if ever.

I'd be all for getting one and modding it, but when it cost that much more... when it goes to clearance, sure.
How do you get a Nomad that cheap?
Usually yard sales, flea markets, 2nd hand shops. Pretty much anything but a game shop will have them fairly cheap. It's just one of those items that game shops charge more for than anywhere else.

If you scour ebay, every so often you'll find one for like $80 but with a stack of games. Just stay away from the dudes with $100 buy it nows. Those are like the ones who have $500 copies of Radiant Silvergun. They're just waiting for a sucker to come by.

Looks cool. But maybe one of those GP2X dealy's would be better. Although I have no idea what those things cost.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.
