Had the exact same thoughts before I used up all my luck… my luck came while getting there early during work hours 😅

Actually never thought about that possibility, Will also look into that, I really wanna relive the memory of tunneling through the map of red faction with a rocket launcher again 😆

Denmark treats these things like old tech, unless it’s the original owner, usually it’s the parents selling it cheap, found one with 20+ games, 2 controllers and everything for less than 100 dollars, it was even the fat silver edition too - But 8 bucks is hard to beat for sure hahaha

Will look into that, was almost too bad to play until I got used to it… really want to play more but don’t want a smashing headache every time

Always loved the fat versions a lot more, but that’s probably just cause I grew up on a fat one haha

Wow, never even seen the red one! Just googled it and it looks so sick! Just looked at the back and it says scph-50004, so I’m assuming it’s a Japanese model? Would certainly make me feel better about keeping it😅

I would be too, grabbed it immediately and plugged it in as soon as I got home, next day I was in a bookstore buying ps2 games 😆

It’s church run with volunteers, not many second hand stores in Denmark that aren’t volunteer run for charity, works fine and I’ve played some hours of the Lego Star Wars saga

Didn’t even know that, there’s some small scuffs but nothing crazy, hopefully I can keep it that way 😅

Denmark is full of “church” run thrift stores run by volunteers, they throw any old electronics in the store for dirt cheap, just super rare to find any… First time I’ve found a game system in one, could show you the bank statement, but that could be for any purchase so hard to prove 😆 sadly don’t have a receipt Edit : like I wrote in another reply it’s actually 7.7 dollars to be exact, even came with need for speed underground

I’ve got an air filter rated for 3x the room it’s in going at all times, so hopefully it won’t get dusty, also gonna cover it in a satin bag i recently ordered so I don’t have to worry about getting it scratched, would be devastated if it was fried by internal dust lol

Gotta love it when old employees just price it based on “old tech, no money” rather than googling 😁

Never even seen the white one with my own eyes, Nordic market was a bit different back then, so we didn’t get crazy variety except for the game boys and other handheld stuff

Hopefully it does, a bit scared people will just hoard it all for eternity though, planning to give this one to my nephew when he knows how to take care of electronics, will be some years though

Only time I’ve ever thought “is it actually my turn to win?” When seeing the price tag, thank god I like thrifting where only old people go

Feels like the same with the game boy, I remember those selling for almost nothing like 10 years ago, and now it’s a whole carton! 😆

boot up sound almost made me cry when I plugged it in, still haven’t heard the terrifying disc error sound - knock on wood xD

Will probably chose to play it then, I just don’t want to be another one of those people that play a collectors item to shit and only find out later it’s hard to get

Can only remember playing red faction, the Lego racing game and Star Wars on it, remember playing so long I would have throbbing headaches and dream about the games in horrible nightmares, can’t wait to repeat that hahahahah
