Dealing with people is a chore. I would totally agree, except I get points at BB.
I get points at Amazon, giving me even less incentive to go to brick & mortar.

That copy of NSMB is going to be very sad on the shelf without a home to play in.

I've seen a few ads on CL where people are trying to sell their systems for $500/$600. F'ing speculators, I hope they lose money.

EDIT: Just looked at Ebay completed auctions and it looks like a bunch have sold for $450-$600. Crazy.

I hear porn on the web browser is even better than the PS3 one.. Atleast going from youtube videos..

When you figure in shipping fees (you take a loss due to how much ebay allows you to charge) and the ebay/paypal cut, they aren't making that much.

Yeah. CL is probably the only way to make money on them and that can be sketchy.

PornHub loaded but wouldn't play videos. YouTube videos play though, so I'm sure some porn somewhere does. The browser allows you to keep the "curtains" closed on your TV while you find sites on the GamePad. So sit some unsuspecting friends down, look up that porn, then voila, open the curtains. Forced to watch porn due to Wii U... classic
