wondering how much they are and where i can get one cheap.
-
Anyone?
-
Ebay, or you can check around to some wal-marts and k-marts, they have them on sale around here in IN.
-
I walked in a Circuit City a couple of months ago and they had one left. It was only $30.
-
I've seen them at Toys R Us as well, I thought they were like $99, but maybe they're a lot cheaper now. I don't know.

I researched these previously related to a VGA connection hack some 6-8 weeks ago.
It's my understanding from reading at that time that the last batch was manufactured earlier this summer and this unit has been discontinued.
All this to say, if you see a unit in a retail outlet and at a price < $100 it will likely be the last one you see.
Ebay, second hand, and surplus resources will soon likely be the only way to find one if that is not already the case now.

Call around to EBGames. They carry the PSOne and LCD screen official sony branded used combo for $89. This is where I got mine and it was in new condition. You can also check online at EB to see if they have it in stock. You can get the AV mini plug for this from some Toys R Us where they have it on clearance for $2.48. Only way you can hook up something else to the screen, and you have to make sure it works with the AV mini plug format. Kind of what you'd find on a camcorder. Hope this helps.
