Finding a cheap psOne lcd

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

A few weeks ago I saw one of those PSone screen and consol packs. It had a sticker on it that said $220, but over that sticker it had a tag saying $99. Here in CANADA, the screen alone costs $200, thats right $200! The PSone consol costed $70, and I got both of them for $100. The package was beat up a little but the stuff inside was perfect! I even chopped up a PSone screen cable and gave it RCA conections! You probably wont find a combo thing at this price again, but I got it at a place called Futureshop (Its so similar to a Best Buy, that I think that there owned by the same company/person.)
Anyway just relaying my experiance.

I got a used PSone screen at EB games for $50. I also know there is an $80 screen at Gamestop.
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

Broken Ones on Ebay go for a few bucks. I spent $1 in mine because it doesn't accept vedeo unless you use the composite in jack or input directly to the board.
