I also bought this console from eBay for 16.65$ (with shipping), while the NES original system is around $75+. It is true that it is a very nice clone.
Some flaws:
1) Not the best picture quality.
2) In one of the controls, when you press down sometimes it is not working. The second one is not perfect as well.
3) You never know if it will play your games! This is the worst. For example (because some of you are wondering), it plays my Castlevania III game BUT it is NOT playing Metroid (I have the first and not the second edition, I don't know if it plays the second one). Also, it will play the first edition of Mario Bros 2, but not the second one.
4)* Will it last?
The list of my games that the clone plays:
1) Zelda I
2) Zelda II
3) Castlevania II
4) Castlevania III
5) Tetris
6) Super Mario Bros
I am waiting for Super Mario Bros 3 and Final Fantasy (just bought them from eBay) and I will let you know. The info about Super Mario Bros 2 I got it from the seller of the console. He had in the listing "plays 97% of the NES games", and so, it is some kind of lottery if the console will play your games.
I have a European NES back in Europe and I wanted something cheap to play some gems from the past here in US that it is easier to find games with 10-20$ on eBay. To tell you the truth I fell extremely sad that I cannot play Metroid. But I guess since it plays all the rest, it is "OK". So, if you have 3-4 games from the past and you are not a simulator-type gamer, give it a try...

THIS looks like the most promising NES clone system yet!

Hi there! This is my first post.
