On a philosophical level: does a $350 headache (literally) sound like a good idea to you?

$100-150, depending on what the games are, and that assumes the box is in good or better condition, as are the stand and visor.

Is the new VLC player update any good?...

I remember v2.0.0 and v2.0.1 sucked really hard. So I'm not sure if downloading v.2.0.2 is a good thing.

Still using v1.1.11 now...

At first glance, it appears to be the same as 2.0.1.

Definitely, it was a few years back now, but I got mine in identical condition with 6 games for around $65, not including postage. From a quick glance it seems mine had many of the same games too, as it came with Wario Land, Mario's Tennis, Mario Clash, Red Alarm, Teleroboxer and Virtual League Baseball. I can definitely see Wario Land, Mario Tennis, Golf and what I think is Galactic Pinball there. Not sure about the other two. It's worth noting that mine was sold as untested and without a battery pack/ac adapter, so I took quite the gamble, especially after postage to Europe, but even then $350 sounds like a huge amount to pay.

I used to use VLC but I have switched to MPC (Media Player Classic). I like the user interface a bit better than VLC. It seems to be the preferred media player over at avsforums.com (home of HTPC (home theater pc) enthusiasts).
