Still out of stock at all the places that charge the RRP. The only place I've seen them in stock are on Amazon at 3-5 times the RRP, no wonder they have stock.

Same here. Its been the way since day one though, seeing as the came out just before the holiday AND people knew they would likely be easy to hack.

Not sure about Europe, but it's $59.99USD. $79.99 here in Canada.

Now I want one of these even more. But they still sell out in under 5 minutes whenever Amazon/Bestbuy/EB restocks. Christmas is done, and they aren't any easier to get.

From what I can gather it was $99au here, but yeah there aren't any around now for that.
All those other prices actually convert to very much the same, which is around $82-83au.

Apples and oranges. I have a NES Everdrive and still fully want a mini NES. I'm not even sure I'd hack it, the default game selection is adequate.

The Famicom version is still available new from Hong Kong at about double local retail price of the NES version. I read somewhere that this is supposedly hard to find as it sold out quickly in Japan.
