- pumacub, on 10/12/2007, -7/+115A running joke is like sex. You can't just spread your legs every time an opportunity presents itself or you're nothing but a whore.
- Shorties, on 10/12/2007, -5/+91Inaccurate, it's open right there in in the picture, and he said he played it once or twice to test it.
- swimmingbird67, on 10/12/2007, -4/+83i thought something like that would've gone for more...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -14/+85i digg it down because "will it blend?" has become diggs answer to slashdots "but does it run linux?"
- kinesis8, on 10/12/2007, -5/+41"This system is BRAND NEW, it might have been played once or twice, including me for testing purpose.."
Hmm.. sounds pretty darn brand new to me.. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22@Kericr
When talking about collectibles, unopened and "opened once" are worlds apart. - Kericr, on 10/12/2007, -4/+24It's nice to remember times when it was EXPECTED to have a game come with the console, not have to buy one separate.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Another ***** SPAM posting. Why are these rover.ebay.com posts even allowed?
Hello? Digg? If the URL is "rover.ebay.com", the posting is spam. - mancat, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16It wasn't ugly in the early '90s. Have you ever watched Saved by the Bell? Full House? Hang Time? Maybe even, dare I say, California Dreams?
- Hootyea, on 10/12/2007, -7/+19I have a mint, original Spiderman comic.
Okay, it's a picture of Mary-Jane, with some white mystery substance in the corner. - MrSunshine, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11True, we Europeans could tell others "Now press the yellow button... Yes, to do that you'll need to press the blue one..." and so on.
What do US-people say? "Yeah, press the purple button" "Umm... which one of them?"
The European/Japanese design of the SNES and its joypads is so much cooler than the US one with its sharp corners and boring purple colour. - AnotherBrian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Without the refer link:

What good is the refer link if it's coming from ebay.com? What is the deal with these? - KJSatz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9I am 5000% sure Kericr knew that as he wrote his comment.
- DisposableRob, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12I wonder if it has the same discoloration that used older SNES's have.
- GlacialPhoenix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Is this a joke? I saw one of these at Goodwill being sold for 19.99. Dammit, I wish I would've picked it up.
- mikesbaker, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11you cut me to the chase on that one
dug down as inaccurate - arizonagroove, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8"Unopened SNES Sold For $265 On eBay."
Yet another example of someone not being able write a title that describes the story. Read the story you're submitting and write a few words that accurately describe it - it's not fricken' rocket science. - 0004, on 07/04/2008, -0/+7seems that people have a fixation of adding the word "UNOPENED" to everything even if it's not there ...
so let me repeat myself.... (edit: repeating myself from a reply to a post a bit lower on this page....lol )
if you had actually read the ebay auction you would have seen that the seller NEVER USED the word "unopened", it's the troll that submitted the story to digg that labeled it as such. (and thus i buried the story as inaccurate)
try to find the word "unopened" on the ebay page. there is NO OCCURENCE.
the seller actually even says (as you mentioned) "This system is BRAND NEW, it might have been played once or twice, including me for testing purpose, to ensure that everything is in working order." - Porchman, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10You guys are missing the real story. The same person who bought the SNES also bought from the same seller an unopened NES for $212.50.
Check it out: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180055295327 - goosnargh, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Yeah that's what I was referring to. I don't understand why they made the purple brick one :/
(wasn't having a go, it was a legit question dugg downers) - devin_mm, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Well the thing about that is that the system is relatively recent and sold like hot cakes so there are a lot of them out there.
- Shorties, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7@Kericr
I will have you know that I didn't digg this down and I did digg it, I was merely mentioning that the title was inaccurate, none the less it was still worth a digg. - iamexcite, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9@MrSunshine
You'd just use the name... ABXY. Honestly I think Sony's shape buttons are more difficult to communicate. - davidsmero, on 10/12/2007, -6/+11Probably not. But wow does that bring back memories.
- spudnic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6I remember getting one of those for Christmas when I was a kid, every other present was a new game for it, one of my best Christmas mornings ever that
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5this isn't the first one today even, the other one i saw was by bunni as well, i suggest everyone report him
- Splitt3rxx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4That is almost worth it, imo SNES was the best system ever. it was nintendos PS2 with all the incredible 3rd party support it had. so many good games.
- scalded, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6@gamasutra
That is the "SNES2", a smaller version of the SNES that was released 5 years after the original. - super_spyder, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6HAH my GF and I were just playing super Mario world on her super Nintendo just a few hours ago still a great system. I have one under my bed iv been waiting to put in my car once i install a dvd nav system
- wush, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3woah.. the US SNES is pretty ugly when compared to the European one.
www.silicium.org/images/catalog/consoles/nintendo/snes/snes.jpg - gamasutra, on 10/12/2007, -7/+10there are cheaper ones
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270069461934 - rkuchiki, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Even the submissions not from rover.ebay.com are affiliate links from this spammer. I wonder how much money this little bastard made off us.
- GhostToon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The premium package of the 360 comes with Hexic HD on the hard drive and for a limited time it has NBA 2K7 in the box to.
- firepowered, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5same, i mean its brand new, collectors dream. i wouldve thought goes for >$1K.
- arkowi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I bought a completely and truly BRAND NEW NES off Ebay about 2 years ago for 150 bucks.
- Ystig, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Yep, my Zelda, Zelda II and Dragon Warrior carts all still have functioning batteries which have never been replaced, and those are all between 17 and 19 years old. Nintendo save batteries are turning out often to live well past their expected battery life (Nintendo has cited 10-15 years). I'd say the half-life of an NES cart battery is likely around 20 years in practice, given anecdotal experience with the death of older cart batteries, and the oldest carts are just now approaching that point. While SNES batteries will reach that point too, eventually, they're a long way away yet.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Hi PixelVision,
I have to disagree strongly. Regardless of whether I was in Canada or the US, the Amiga 1200s I bought for friends and family were always supplied by the shop (retailer) with a hard drive. Some early 1200s had "40" or "60" written on them indicating their hard drive size, as shipped from the factory (on the A1200 sticker itself). That was how Commodore USA and Canada did it, and I have the official "hard drive guide" that came with my A1200 - they were stock systems, with hard drives.
It was virtually impossible to walk out of a North American retailler with a Euro-style hard-driveless A1200. I bought my A1200 with a 60 meg, my friends came with a 40 meg. We both had MBX 1230XA accelerators, which were hyped by the local Commdore dealer. (That was a 68030 with MMU, 68882 math co-processor, and I believe 128 megs of RAM). It was the fact that Euro dealers, Euro magazines, and Commodore Europe did NOT force hard drives, extra ram, and accelerators that is the problem. More importantly, Euro games almost always "hit the hardware". They were so badly written that 68030/040/060 processors would often "kill" the games, because of the Euro tendency to not use legal system calls. It was truly a *****...but Commodore Canada and USA behaved properly, and for the market, sold a lot of high end, powerful machines. - franksmith, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Did someone REALLY just spend more on that than a new Wii would cost??????????
- xevidentx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@ImTheDarkcyde,
no, "or get a mac" has become digg's answer - heidivodka, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I would have bought it, the price he paid was a steal.
I already have two snes, but wow did it bring back memories of when i first opened it at chistmas all those years ago. playing starwing, donky kong, super pang, prince of persia, unirally, mortal combat ohh what games.
When it comes to nintendo I am a geeky gamer (yes women can be too)
I would swap my wii for a new snes. - terrya64, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I found some brand new still sealed Atari 2600's at a swap meet in Hawaii in the mid 90's.
They were only 25.00 each. - InfoFreedom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2im selling a near mint unopened kitty cat on ebay only petted twice maybe three times from me testing it.
bury this sale - 0004, on 07/04/2008, -2/+3if you had actually read the ebay auction you would have seen that the seller NEVER USED the word "unopened", it's the troll that submitted the story to digg that labeled it as such. (and thus i buried the story as inaccurate)

the seller actually even says (as you mentioned) "This system is BRAND NEW, it might have been played once or twice, including me for testing purpose, to ensure that everything is in working order." - PixelVision, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2No No. it wasn't the Europeans. Commodore ruined the A1200 themselves through poor business actions. The A1200 came with a hard drive slot as standard but I think the hard drive wasn't sold with the A1200 until Commodore had gone bust and Escom had purchased the Amiga in 94.
Some say that Commodore failed the system with poor marketing. I must admit I never saw any adverts on TV and such, using a friend's system was enough to get me to buy one.
The Commodore Amiga 1200 wasn't stocked in US stores as much as it was in Europe, which is why it's more popular on the European side of the pond. Infact nowadays the biggest Amiga communities are in Europe, Germany I believe. The upgrades that you're referring to are all third party addons and were never sold by Commodore or Escom.
Whether or not Europeans didn't upgrade was completely unconnected to the fact the Amiga died commercially. Commodore killed it and then Escom buried it by hiking up the price. - fatnutz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I would digg up, but considering how easy it is to re-pack a console like this and sell it as never used....I'll pass
You know that thing was played...wait till the new owner pulls the controller out of the plastic and see's it worn. - KJSatz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1They released that in the US too, but it was several years after the SNES launch.
- s6t9eve, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2What a ***** rip, this guy finds a dusty nintendo is his colset so he wraps the parts up in ploythene so that people will pay more for it. originally the parts where not plastic covered, he should know that.
- fatnutz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It better not "depreciate" if it's never been played...
- KJSatz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Hootyea- You honestly think people are buying the Wii for state of the art graphics?
