[The Source] Sega Genesis Mini Console, $59.99

Deal Link:: https://www.thesource.ca/en-ca/gaming/r ... /108081798
Price:: $59.99
Savings:: 40% off
Retailer:: The Source

I believe it's the cheapest price for general sale (except eBay $55 offer). Was posted for $69.99 at LD (in stock but need filler for free shipping) a couple of days ago. Staples has some (2?) in stock $69.99, Walmart has it for $74.96
90 available to purchase at the time of posting. (Now < 30 left!) Edit: OOS online
No extra PSP discount.
Some stores also have it in stock
It seems retailers are running down on stock and I have doubts they will get restocked.

Don't hold your breath. This is one of the better mini consoles, I don't see the price dropping that low before it completely sells out.

why wont they include their 6 button controller ..

'The North American and European Minis include three-button controllers, while the Japanese controllers have six buttons.['

Yeah, how do you add games? I have a Mega Everdrive with all the original Genesis games that I play on an original genesis, on an older CRT and it looks fantastic. Is there a way to transfer those ROMs into this?

would love some help with this. Are any of the games suitable for a 5 year old?

In this covid era, I tried booting up xbox360 and downloaded some demos but really most games are too complicated. Minecraft works but cant teach a 5 year old to craft stuff! Or is nintendo the only way to go for the young ones?

There are a few kid friendly games on there but most are T rated I believe.

Depends on how much you love your father lol. For me even spending $4 on mine might be a stretch.

I'll prolly catch some flak for this but I cringe when people buy these mini consoles. They're such a rip off and just a completely shameless cash grab. If you can go without the cute little shell you should just use emulators. Hell, even a raspberry pi or something with a 3rd party shell you can buy and put it in. You could fit every single Genesis game on it, not Just the 8 games or whatever they give you. Same goes for the other mini consoles too.
