What was the price at Launch?

Yeah, N64 was $300 at launch. I should know, I worked at a department store that year and snuck one into lay-a-way to try to sell for a much higher price.

Wasn't the first release of the NES much higher priced? When it came with the robot and everything? I could'a swore it first came out in the $500-600 range. It had been out for four or five years when I finaly saved up enough to buy mine (one dollar a week allowance only goes so far when saving up $200).

Where the hell did you all buy your N64's at?!? Sounds to me like you got scammed because N64 was definitely $199.99 at launch. Hell I still have the receipt from Toys R' Us that says that!
 
Yeah I remember the N64 being 300 bucks, mainly because my neighbor got one, but didn't have enough for a game.
 
Yeah my parents got me the Gamecube for christmas when it came out... they didn't know what game to get me... They just knew I hated Sony and I was weary of the XBOX.

So for a week I had to go without a game, it pissed me off!
