I kinda had a feeling this is where this was headed. All I have to say to that is meh. Just meh.
wow $310 starting bid? ouch 
$200 less then the nt without the HD UPGRADE.
It's starting bids, not BIN prices. So no, it wont be $200 less. This is basically a dick move hoping to bank on Nintendo collectards and their keen ability to maintain a long list of irresponsible financial decisions. Guess I am unfollowing this project.
Yeah you have to figure a top loader is about $100 depending on condition and these are all excellent or better since i'm harsher about judging these than most ppl since i've had so many. $120 for the kit and another $50 plus for instal, so yeah $300 start bid...
f*cking weaksauce dick move guy. Seriously.
You know Game-Tech.US, I really want to ask, because I remember dropping you a pm prior about one of your region mod pcbs and you not wanting to sell it or whatever, do you even actually sell any of the stuff you guys come up with? Or do you just come on to forums and try to get attention about it so you can use the free advertising to sell your premodded systems & mod work only?
Because honestly this doesn't feel like an effort being made to help any given community, here or elsewhere. It just comes off as a giant push towards lining ones wallet, both yours and the guys at Analogue Nt. I mean seriously, ebay and $300 minimum bids? Totally disgusting. If I had known this was your end game, the way you planned to release this shit, I'd have simply said f*ck off from jump street and stopped paying any kind of attention to this. Total f*cking waste of time.
