That looks like an NES to me...

Why yes, that most certainly does look like a NES.

They could probably make a killing by selling those to collectors. An authentic, probably in excellent state, North Korean NES. Pretty sure you can fund the purchase of a next gen console with that.

[Owlbread]

About that, but not too much I'd say. The most expensive item I have seen besides something like a game with only 1 copy was SD gundam dimension war for the Virtual Boy, worth about 1000 euros. It doesn't get much better than that. I've often been disappointed in the prices for some of these games at times.

Eh, a used NES (I'm assuming they allow people to play those) doesn't go for more than $50. They're still around.

[Fniff]

I bet the problem isn't the cost, but the content.

Sure, you could buy an Xbox 360, but what are the primary games of the Xbox 360? Shooters that show the triumph of western imperialists, such as Modern Warfare/Warfighter. Better to go with NES games. Mario may be Italian, but he's not in the US army.

[IronyOwl]

Mario's also not really visibly Italian, nor does he necessarily speak the Foul Tongue of the Outsider unless you know what you're listening for. The graphics are also not in any danger of revealing just how behind the rest of the world they are in just about every way.

Of course, all of this is assuming they actually use or care about what's actually in there as opposed to just needing some games because apparently games are a thing people have.

The thing 10ebbor10 was getting at though was that it's an extremely rare North Korean NES, which may go for more money. I think it would be just enough to fund the purchase of a next gen console, depending on how the bidding goes.

[Lagslayer]

Why would you trade in an NES for a PS4 or Xbone?

[LordSlowpoke]

so glorious leader can snipe the imperialists from across the map with the thunder of his glorious voice of course

[Owlbread]

Why would you trade in an NES for a PS4 or Xbone?

Especially something as rare as a North Korean NES. People do silly things though.

[Baffler]

The thing is only worth what you can get for it in trade.

[10ebbor10]

I'm pretty sure you could sell an authentic North Korean NES for a lot of money.

[Owlbread]

Not too much money in my opinion, just enough to get something nice though.

[Sensei]

I'm pretty sure it's just a korean NES. We already know that other entertainment technology north korea uses is manufactured in SK, or made for SK customers and also sold to NK. There was never a north korean NES factory or special localization for north korea, I'd be willing to bet. Hell, if you watch Vice's north korea documentary, they were pretty surprised to realize their south korean karaoke machine had the Sex Pistols on it.

[Owlbread]

That doesn't mean it isn't North Korean though.
