I doubt it...I believe you could only win that in a contest...

Jensen, that is the one that is going to be re-released....though the buttons will be different.  I hope they release one stateside that resembles our domesticated NES and controller....I'll buy THAT!

No, the following is what they are releasing...

See how much less cool that is than the one Jensen is talking about?

[Knoxxville]

eeeewwwwwwww....I stand corrected.  It's just a platinum with red trim and buttons....BLEH!  As long as Milky Blue doesn't make it over here, I'll be okay.

BTW, this got slashdotted.

Actually the Famicom SP does NOT come with Super Mario Brothers.
I don't know where these people are getting their info.
But if you go to:  www.nintendo.co.jp
Nintendos official website in Japan, you will see that clearly there are no "bundles".
The games and the system are going to be sold seperately.
Some of the import sites on the internet are selling them in bundles and indeed some of them would have you
believe that this is the only way that Nintendo is distributing them (www.ncsx.com) , but this is a lie.
I think they were saying this so that people desperate enough to have the games would pay the outrageous $350 price they were asking for it.

Just thought that some of you would like a heads up.

Sorry about the error.  I'm fixing the article.

It's cool.

It's not really your fault.
There is so much misinformation on the web these days
that it makes it hard to tell what's really what sometimes.

I am just happy that I could help get the truth out there.

I really do like this forum, by the way.
