In yet another example that nostalgia is one hell of a drug, the newly released $60 dollar Famicom Classic Mini (the Japanese version of the NES Classic) has managed to sell like hot cakes in Nintendo's native country of Japan.
According to a report by MCV based on sales figures provided by Japanese games website Famitsu, the tiny NES Classic Mini has sold over 263k units in its first 4 days on store shelves. The little machine has a host of classic NES games installed on its hard drive and is sure to be a blast from the past for everyone who grew up in the early-to-mid-90s.
[...] The NES Classic Mini launched in Western territories on November 11 and has since gone on to sell out in many stores thanks to Nintendo's limited supply, which has led to third party sellers increasing the price of the device as the consumer demand for the console remains higher than the current supply.

On that note - do anyone know of any good rf-to-hdmi (or rf-demodulators, I can deal with it from RCA) converters or schematics?
I have a bunch of stuff (c64, nes, snes, atari2600, one-game-units) that feed via RF/coax and I don't intend to open any of them up. I fear the day my vcr dies and renders me unable to play all those units.
