Thanks, but I'd rather buy a PS3 AND an X-Box 360 for that price :-)

Just bought it, nice... no really that's a lot of money for something that isn't as practical as the Wii U. The only real benefit is that you can continue playing without the TV. So this is a little extravagant and pointless, but cool at the same time.

Oh I agree it's not the most practical of hacks considering modern technology and the options available out there to actually "play" the games. But that's not what the hack was about. It was about having fun and making something unique and appealing to the older generations of video game players like myself. And you have to understand too, this is a "One-Off" project meaning there is nothing like it out there to buy commercial setting (close, but not quite) and it was designed as a collectors item or conversation piece. The price really isn't that bad when you think of the costs that went into it as well. I say I have $350 in parts alone invested into this and nearly 12 weeks of time, if you consider that then hell, this is a steal! And imagine how expensive an Xbox 360 would be if they only made one! It's all perspective and I just wanted to have a good time building it and I did. :-)
