Star Wars edition = totally pimp.  Considering it's region/RGB modded, that's not a terrible price either.

No shit, that thing will play anything and it already has the RGB mod.  Don't know how much it costs because the auction only lists moon-money.

Awesome, but it's still an eight-pound yard of plastic.

Eight-pound yard of SEXY plastic :P  I really like the look...though some black on the "hex" bolts, or circles on the side would look even better IMO.

I have long been under the impression that region-modding (more specifically, grounding pin 29) a SuperGrafx breaks Aldynes, one of the prime reasons to own a SuperGrafx in the first place.

I thought it's the King of Pop edition? and why didn't he paint the controller to match it too hehe

Couldn't you just unground pin 29 when the switch is set back to JP mode?  Maybe even add an entire extra switch just for pin 29... a BIG switch...

Theoretically, I don't see why not. Never tried it.

Or if you're using an IC region mod... change your SPST switch out for a DPDT switch and have one half of the switch controlling the grounding of pin 29. :P

Back on topic... looks cool.  Not sure if I could drop $400 on it.. but still cool.

I guess my point was I highly doubt whomever did this mod took the whole Aldynes thing into consideration, but I could be wrong.
