If you were devastated by the announcement that Nintendo would no longer be making the NES Classic Edition, you weren"t alone. Luckily, there might be one last chance to secure a console, but it won"t be for the low price you were probably expecting.
ThinkGeek, an online retailer known to sell all kinds of goods that cater to geek culture, now has special bundles available that allow you to pick up the coveted and rare NES Classic console. While the lowest of these packages starts at $139.99 and is already sold out, there are also many other options, with the highest retailing at $219.99. While this probably isn"t the most ideal situation considering that the retail price of the console was $59.99 when it first released, it could be a great option for someone that wants to get their hands on one through a "respectable" retailer.
If interested, you might want to head to the website as quickly as possible, as the packages are slowly starting to sell out. If not, you can always wait for the release of the SNES Classic Edition that will arrive in September.
