For that price you think he could at least offer to pay shipping...

Anyway, looks really uncomfortable with the six buttons on the front at their current size. Very interesting to see the first sign of the square and arrow Start and Select, though, as they would move on to the regular PS1 controller.

Unclebob... no. Just no.

Think of your wife. Your kids. Me. Locked in one of your long-term storage bins. Without food.

They're more like aluminum box containers. You know, like for shipping.

Aluminum?  Well, in that case, eat your way out and sell the rest for food.  You could get 35 cents, easy.

That is an abomination of an controller. It's the fusion of the N64 six face buttons but missing the middle, playstation start/select and the SNES base controller. Awful, a crime against nature.

Gentlemen, to your pitchforks

Yeah, it is awful looking.  I'm sure there's no way it would have been released like that...

It's probably fake too.

Why would the D-Pad be the horrible abomination?  It doesn't make any sense.  I'm calling fake.

We were thinking fake as well, until I dug this up:

Scroll about halfway down to the section called "June 1991 at CES" and click on the three pictures.

Wow, who would've thought. Great searching skills you have, UncleBob.

I had to skim through crap tons of SNES-CD articles to find it...

Well someone had to do it.

UncleBob, since you like Nintendo paraphernalia maybe you should have a go at this.
