How there's an idea. Maybe I should just sell mine, "as is," or at least sell off the games and the other peripherals I have for it. On the other hand, it might be nice to have a working one with some new games to play on it. Even if I didn't use it much, my sons might enjoy it some day and it might be useful for keeping them quiet on long car trips, since I have a cigarette lighter power adapter for the thing...
