I put in an order for the grey one, which was not an easy choice since I really like both.
Hmm still not up for ordering on their site yet. I can pre-order those pixel controllers though...

I'm waiting for reviews. I always get excited when a new clone system comes out. Then the reviews hit, and I decide to pass on the clone. I'm anticipating the reviews for Retron 5. Maybe this one is different. Time will tell.

It's in my cart... waiting.
There are too many other things that I "need" to purchase right now, and I can't justify this one quite yet. The rush of Kickstarters plus my new found love for Nintendo is draining my wallet.

I'm going to flip my PS4 during the hype of the Christmas season and use the 100 -300 to buy one of these.

I bet you won't make more than $50 this holiday on a PS4. Just a hunch it won't be like last time.

$50 is what people are making right now. I might not make $200 but I think I'll make $100 though. It's most likley going to be sold out until after Christmas.

Who is? Things like eBay and CL are hard to judge. There are so many fees on eBay it is ridiculous. And CL you can't tell what people are buying and just taking down the ad. Like I said, we'll see, but I have a hunch.

Both of them. If it get's sold out, which It most likely will, the prices will rise. Now, how much? That idk. I can differently tell you that it will be in the top 5 gifts of this Christmas with the XB1 and Iphone 5s close by. I'm going to watch the trend and see how it moves. I think it'll rise closer to Nov 15th because that's when the mainstream media will start talking about it (things like people waiting in lines, the 'war', top gifts to give). This will attract the uninformed majority of people. Thus leading to demand... I hope.

Awesome.

Don't have the money for it right now though.

But I know what I'll be asking the wife to get me for X-Mas.
