Based on the photo I posted on the previous page, we can read the dimensions of the Retron 5. It seems to be seven and a half inches wide by eleven inches long. By comparison it's a little bit bigger than a WiiU (6.8 inches X 10.5 inches) but a little smaller than an original phat PS2 (11.9 inches X 7.2 inches) turned sideways.

Yeah, I thought it looked like Jesus's face there for a second too.

I can't wait until April! Once I get my R5 I am going to sell off my 3 Snes's and my 3 NES's, buy an OUYA, and by then I'll have my Wii U. I'm going to be completely set and even free up some shelf space for more games :)! I am armed with my Flash Carts and ready!!
I am buying all Saturn games, PM me with your offerings and I will let you know if I need the game or not! (Everything must be CIB)

Currently trying to knock off all the sports games, would like to get them <$5 each! Of course if you would like to donate them I will gladly pay the shipping! :)

I am starting to believe that you haven't thought this through. I have never played on a Retron 5 yet (and neither has anyone else on this forum yet) but I would hesitate to sell off the originals for a copy.

Would you trade your smelly old Van Gogh painting for my brand new poster of a Van Gogh painting? My poster is a high definition print fresh off the press and your painting is a hundred and thirty years old. Plus your old painting looks like it was used to patch a hole in a chicken coop.

I should have clarified more. I have a SNES and an NES both CIB. I will still have those but I use them for display only, they never get played because they are both in the best shape that I have seen.
