Even without the hack you are getting 30 of the best NES games plus a nifty piece of hardware for a mere 60 bucks. That's the cheapest way to get that many games except for piracy. Yes you can't even get the physical carts that cheap.
Compare that to the Sega plug-n-plays where you get 80 games, 10 of which aren't crap or the Atari plug-n-play where all the best games (aka Activision) are conspicuously absent.

That's true but it's not my situation. I have a mostly reliable toploader and 300 games from when I was a console collector.
That said the market is off the charts now and for someone without a collection in hand the Mini is a great deal.

I bought it for the hdmi out. Even for those of us that still have a tube tv lying around, they aren't going to last forever. Systems that use RF are already cumbersome to hook up and composite out consoles will be the next to fall as lcd tvs march forward.
ChadTower:
That's still a long way off. Every TV in my house has RF in. Even the plasmas. And both of our home theater receivers have several composite inputs as well. Yes, we buy with a backwards compatibility requirement, but it will be a long time before composite is totally gone. Lots of new streaming devices still have composite out for that reason.
