Hit the pawns but wasn't much to be had

. Walked away with this for a little over $40.

Picked a game cube up with hookups, controller, and an official 251 block memory card for $16.

Also found a few games for $25

Stupid question here, but why do Americans buy PAL SNES'? I was just looking on EBay and see they sell for nearly $100. Is it because the PAL library is cheaper?

most likely to play PAL exclusive games like Terranigma, PAL games have lock out chips so they only work on PAL systems. Still would need a TV that could output 50hz picture...

PVMs will do that.

I was hoping for a better reason because I can buy them from a friend over there for about $40 shipped, I didn't know if there was some awesome upside to the PAL version other than the design. I would buy it for the design but don't have a proper television and it seems PAL is inferior.

keep in mind it would probably cost $40-$50 to ship an SNES from the UK so that gets tacked the price

9/10 times this is not the case.

I bought a Action Replay SNES that works perfectly for my pal copy of Terranigma on a US SNES.

My Interact Superpad looks good enough for that.
