They sell for about 20 bucks on ebay

That "Power Player" booth at my local mall is a total joke. The guy sits there and claims it runs 76,000 games? Direct rip-off of Nintendo; the games appear to be the exact Nintendo titles with their Nintendo logos/copyrights somehow removed from the title screens. There's a long list of games to scroll through - the list is endless - the game names repeat themselves!  I don't understand how this booth can remain clearly selling bootlegged, copyrighted material. I might as well setup a Mame cabinet booth in there with 4,900 MAME ROMS included!  Only $3000 a pop!

Is that nintendo one and this arcade one (http://www.9thtee.com/funstuff.htm) the same thing (just different controller design)?  I'm curious if the arcade one has arcade games, or nintendo games on it (if it were arcade games like the jakks ones, it could be worth picking one up, but if it's just the nintendo one, I don't think it'd be worth it).  Anyone know?

At one point even ThinkGeek.com was selling one of these "superjoys". I had emailed them and told them there was no way they were legal. They replied that they had been assured they are. Well, you don't seem them on sale there anymore.

At the time, I even went to the seller's website and posted in their forum that it was impossible that so many licenses had been cleared for so many high profile games. (The shear number of royalty payments required would completely wipe out any possible profit at the price these things sell.)
