NES Classic Back In Stock

[ap123 | 112]

Nintendo has refurbished NES Classics in stock for anyone who missed out when they were released and was principled enough to resist paying scalpers prices. In my experience "refurbished" is often just open box, but there's no guarantee they won't have minor cosmetic damage. Not sure if they ship in original packaging or not.

Please chime in with what to expect if you have experience buying refurbished products from Nintendo.

I actually bought a refurbished NES Classic before. It comes in a plain brown box with a sticker on the top that says NES Classic. It doesn't look nearly as nice as the original retail box, but who cares? Also you get a warranty direct from Nintendo in case you encounter any issues.

Well that didn't last long.

Ugh! Waiting to see them all over eBay listed as “rare refurbished variants”
