i just got back from EB games, and as i was paying for a copy of half-life 1, i saw that EB games will stop accepting N64s and the and accesories and games for it July 1st. meaning the only way to get one will be ebay, which is a b!tch for buying consoles IMO. so, if you wanna make an N64p, get them while you still can, or wait, as they could get a reduced price. i will be posting this thread in the PSone forums too, as they will do they same for it.
goodbye, my 64 bits of fun. it's been great.
I am no one, and I can defeat/stop/scare/kill you.
I am nobody, and I can do it.
I am none, you are second to me.
I am who, and I could/did do that.

yeah, dont you guys have local mom-and-pop game stores? i got my nintendo 64 with a controller for $27 canadain at a local store called "1up games". i think if you looked hard enough you could find some sort of 'classic' gaming store that sells old systems.

Yeah Gamestop did buy out EB, I knew that that deal was going through about a year ago. That sucks because they also got rid of the used pc games policy. dang no more $3 games.

Look on the bright side:
This means around July all the N64's will have reduced prices.
