We're not saying the cost of purchasing this SNES display kiosk is too high, because $249.99 isn't that much money (the cost of a Wii, if you can actually find one). No, the high price comes from having to pick this up locally, in Jonesboro, AR (otherwise known as "the south"). Now, we've lived in "the south" before, so we don't want to offend anyone, but we know from experience that those living down there can't be trusted.
Oh, we can regale you with the many times we were fooled by that well-known southern kindness and charm, only to awake an indiscernible amount of time later, duct-taped to a chair in a leaky, dark basement somewhere. If only we had developed muscles by participating in physical activities in the outside world, we could have ripped through that duct tape!
Anyway, this cabinet. Yeah, it looks sweet, but, as we said, you have to pick it up locally. The seller isn't willing to ship the darn thing.

Yeeeah, let's stereotype southerners under the name of the Confederacy's president. Because each and every one of us are moronic hicks who are obsessed with a nearly century and a half old rebellion and plaster the Confederate flag everywhere, right? :P
On a slightly more serious note, and to be fair, Arkansas IS weird. xD

Hey, it's all fun and games. I mean no harm by it. In fact, for a couple years of my life, I lived in the south and found it to be quite pleasant.
We like to joke around here. :)

Nah, David. It was pretty clear you were being completely tongue-in-cheek there. ;) My reply was to "Jefferson" there, for what it's worth.
But yeah... The south is all right, until you go west of Tennessee. >.> Hehe..

ha ha, like the south isn't trustable, if you live in the south, it doesn't make you southern, i've lived in north georgia my entire life, but no one at all can tell that i'm from the south, although that might partly be cause by the fact i'm foreign..... but anyway, the south can be trusted! there are very honorable people here.

BTW, most southern homes don't have basements so that analogy is wrong.
I love basements. Great for home theater and gaming!
*sigh*

That happened to me once! But I rather enjoyed what followed ;)
It's strange nobody spoke of the SNES kiosk....So I will! The TV could be picked up for nothing, the SNES nearly nothing, basically it's a load of money for a load of plastic...... No thanks.

I'm actually from there. The mere fact that I could pick it up makes me want to purchase it.
