Although the original NES has certainly cemented itself as an icon in the gaming universe, it's quickly climbing the ranks for the most frequently modified console ever. Aside from being hacked into its own controller, given a spin by Ben Heck, and used to house a Mac mini, the Nintendo Entertainment System is now going head to head with Prada, Chanel, and Marc Jacobs as a woman's handbag. A very clever entrepreneur has listed the NES purse on eBay for the world to marvel at, and aside from the handy controller strap that appears to be attached in a rather hasty manner, the innards sport a soft, grey fabric to hold makeup, cellphones, and Mario figurines, and there's even a hidden compartment on the bottom for cash, lighters, or 1-UP mushrooms. There's no word on if hitting Up, Right, Select, Start, B will hold the subway for you as you dash towards a departing train, but you can place a bid yourself and try 'er out when it arrives.

If you don't know this code, you shouldn't be reading anything about the NES.
on topic: Such a strange idea, but in a good way. I'm surprised no one did this sooner.
What a waste of an NES and controller.
And don't forget your game cartridge cigarette case!

(I suppose accessories really are sold separately)
I don't carry a purse, but man oh days, if I ever did, that would most certainly be the one! Although, hmm, that may be a problem, if the only people who find it neat are females who don't like purses ... d'oh ...
Words really can't describe how ugly that is... ABS Plastic purses.. who'd of thought? :O
i think that is considered a weapon in most states 0_0
It sure looks like a bomb ;p
Get it straight: it's up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start!
It is less of a purse and more of a briefcase.
Perhaps one could mod this further to nicely store a DS and several games?
If you're a cross dresser, would it be up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, SELECT, start?
No woman is gonna wear that as a handbag!
