Didn't realize this forum had degraded to a bunch of juveniles.
I didn't realize it was ever anything other than that!
Also, I strive to be on the new member welcome wagon, but I'm finding myself in a strange place... i want to say "hi! Welcome to the obey farm, good to have you here!". But then i consider that you showed up here, posted an unknown "Want To ____" acronym, proceed to ask for a dirt cheap rare console, and finish off by insulting the very forum you just asked to hook you up with a killer deal rather than having the humility to laugh with us at the whole WTD deal.
All of this happened in 3 of your 5 total posts.
Classy. WTD? More like WTF.
i hope you're just manstrating and didn't realize how dickish you were being. I still believe that there is good in most everyone's heart. Certainly the king of ducks falls into this group... right?
I have to agree with everything here. There are rules to this OBEY thing and simply demanding teh warz for tehzzz cheap is highly suspect.
If the SGX is loose, has no hookups, no games, has a huge scratch or two and smells funny, then $100 is perfectly fine. Paying more would be stupid. There is no shortage of these consoles and there never was one, then add in the fact that the features a SGX adds to the regular PCE are nearly useless...I mean, a regular PCE core system is way less $ than that. What good is a "Super" version of a console with 5 exclusive games that are inferior to 100 games on the "regular" version of the machine? The only thing "Super" about the Supergrafx was the hubris of its greedy short sited creators.
Some people just..can't handle depreciation. They want the things they love to always increase in "worth" despite the fact that a basic understanding of arithmetic would show that this is impossible. The SGX is a PCE and will therefore always be a great system that plays great games, but there is no reason it should be expensive at all. When the Duo R came out and it lacked a headphone jack, that was a bigger change in the real day to day lifestyle of a 90s gamer than the SGX library was. It's really not a big deal. A cynical and poorly though out cash grab from NEC preying upon the "we'll buy everything" gears whores who's fiscal resources were already dwindling by the time the machine was on sale.
Next time you see something for sale online and it's being hyped by "self employed" Youtubers or insane eBay auctions and you start to fall for the hype...you sorta want the cool thing...ask yourself, "Do I really want this stupid f*cking piece of plastic enough to pay $XXXX for it? Do the opinions of game otaku I've never met hold enough sway for me now to claim to be a huge fan of something that I didn't even know existed until decades after it was made?"
