Super Joy at the mall.

Post by wasted_druid » Fri Aug 20, 2004 5:42 pm

I just went to the 2nd closest mall to my house yesterday (I've never been there before) and I found it!!! A super Joy. I run up. I check the back... expansion port!!!! I ask the lady how much. "Fifty Five Dollars" I laughed in her face and told her I could get it for $20 online. She tried to sell me by saying it had 70 games built in. "Nintendo games?" I ask. "No, no no. Not nintendo. Not nintendo" The whole while I'm playing super mario brothers on the screen. So I ask you this. Does denying that you are selling pirated video games absolve you from any legal responsibility for doing so? ;)

Ignorance as I'm sure they'd claim is never a deffence in the eyes of the law. Besides that remeinds me of how some people felt about Hitler just before WWII, if you have an agrement with him/He's just attacking Europe no worries.

Yeah, I went to the mall a couple weeks ago and there's a big stand with a million of these. They even have 3 TVs set up as demos playing mario and duck hunt all the time. The foreign guy is always asking the little kids if they want to "shoot the ducks" and the older guys "How would you like to play Super Mario again?", humming the Super Bros. theme song all the time.

I thought about turning him in just for fun because he annoyed me so much, (I couldn't believe I had trouble explaining to him that I already had one of these), but I ended up playing Contra there for about 15 minutes waiting for the bus. I only made it to the end of level 3 thanks to the crappy directional pad (I don't use the 30 guys code, by the way).

Mine left the mall.

I meant to go over and see how much, but no one was working there. Maybe it was the hermit crab lady next door who was supposed to do that, otherwise it was like "Free! Take one!"

Well, here's my story:

I was at the mall a while back and saw a kiosk for one of them, but it was closed. I went back again today, and this time it was open. There were a few Italian guys running the place. They were nice and all, but were always right by you trying to get you to buy it, even before you had a good chance to try it out. I finally said that if I really wanted one, I could get one for about $20 online. He asked where, and I told him. If you get a large order to the MN, area, gannon, I hope that you'll have enough :wink:

A place at the local weekend fleamarket has the SuperJoy III for $60!!! I couldn't believe it. Makes me want to order a ton of them and rent my own booth there for the weekend.

Yah its pretty crazy I mean who would by an old Super Nintendo for 50-60 dollars? I was at a mall in hawaii and they were going for $55. I guess people just want to buy something from a store and get it right away, rather than doing like ten minutes of research, and saving a lot of money.
