got mine and an extra controller and gamepad.

That's pretty awesome, I did not. I checked around some local places to see how many they actually got, the average was 6 per place. We have two Game Stops here and the Mall location actually only received 1 additional controller to sale.
There were far more people in each line than 6, and most of them waited for at least 3 hours, some more. Glad that I was not one of them.

The two wal-marts had 4/6 the day of. My Brother in Law needed to go to Best Buy, so he got their early, and was 1st in line. They received 35 units, so he picked up mine and his with his tax exemption because he was placing his in show room at his company.

The tax exemption is for resale only.

Just following our President Elect.

"Anyone may arrange his affairs so that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which best pays the treasury. There is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes. Over and over again the Courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everyone does it, rich and poor alike and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands."

If you have any evidence that Trump did something improper with his taxes, send it along to The New York Times who spent a lot of money investigating Trump, even publishing illegally obtained state returns, and found nothing of any merit.

Even if there was you would pretend it didn't exists... please take your Trump defense back to the PF, where it belongs. You turned a simple joke into your usually defense of all things Trump.

You're the one that made the stupid remark as well as showing how proud you were that you cheated the tax man out of a few dollars.

You're the one who felt the need to insert some b.s. lie about Trump into a thread about a game system. Tune in to CNN and you'll get your fill of Trump lies but keep them to yourself.

Yes, and the emulation is excellent. Purchase the controller extension cords, a must have. I have played Super Mario 1&3, Excite Bike, Tecmo Bowl, Punch Out, Final Fantasy, Castlevania 1&2, and a couple of others. The save feature especially on games my wife and I are playing together is great.

The problem is getting your hands on one. They are in short supply.
