R4 Price Going Up In Akihabara

[wraggster]

Not only is Nintendo's legal action against R4 cart spiking the sales, it's also spiking the prices. Check out this Akihabara retailer on July 29th when the news was first announced. R4s were going for ¥2,980 (US$28). The following day, the price jumped to ¥4,980 at the same retailer. And today? This shop's price hit ¥5,980 ($55).

Wow they are advertising pandora batteries, I wouldn't doubt it if they were selling emus and roms too.

Its a good thing I bought an extra R4 last month, now to make my money back

I'm sure it's all strictly for homebrew...

Pandoras batteries are literally everywhere.. There were some shops that used to sell the 200-in-1 famicom cartridges, but pirated roms are pretty hard to find.. except on Sunday when the dudes out in the streets with card tables will sell you a DVD-R of Neo Geo roms for $100.00...
