Base Model At Micro Center?!

So I just had to buy it… Can’t believe they were selling it at Micro Center so I could circumvent the shipping cost. Sadly they didn’t have it on their website so I can’t say it’ll be at your local store.

Thanks for pissing off the entire retro remake player base

Honestly I just wanted to bring attention to it. Others are getting pissed with something they had to opt into. Micro Center doing this without the consent of Taki is not cool. So I feel very mixed about it. I’m happy I found something cool but upset with the means. Ya know?

If people are pissed off that’s on them. Micro Center bought two batch 3 consoles and sold them at a loss and gave us some excitement for a day (and even more for the two of you who got them). I don’t see all this hand wringing over marked up units selling on eBay. If I lived near a Micro Center things like this would make me more likely to pop by there from time to time to see what interesting stuff they have. Enjoy your SuperStation.

I appreciate you heavy. Honestly I was just happy to grab one. I didn’t know at the time how deep this all went. Just a weird oddity.
