`Not as gross as the kids who brought in their NES to sell it to us, unleashing a stream of cockroaches from the insides when they set it on the counter.

And that's topped by the days when I worked in a video rental place with an Adult Room. A coworker got a videotape back once and said "Ew. It's covered with gel soap! Did he try to wash it?" and we looked at her, then at the VHS tape, and winced, saying "um... That's *not* soap..."

She quit the next day.]]>Oct 18th 2007 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/nintendo-of-japan-calling-it-quits-on-famicom-hardware-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/nintendo-of-japan-calling-it-quits-on-famicom-hardware-support/Oct 18th 2007 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/nintendo-of-japan-calling-it-quits-on-famicom-hardware-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/nintendo-of-japan-calling-it-quits-on-famicom-hardware-support/
I just exchanged a new DS Lite for only $20 after the warranty has been expired at the local Nintendo repair shop because the case cracked at the connection area.

Good job Nintendo. :)]]>Oct 18th 2007 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/nintendo-of-japan-calling-it-quits-on-famicom-hardware-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/nintendo-of-japan-calling-it-quits-on-famicom-hardware-support/Oct 18th 2007 9:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/nintendo-of-japan-calling-it-quits-on-famicom-hardware-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/nintendo-of-japan-calling-it-quits-on-famicom-hardware-support/

My Super Nintendo was still supported by Nintendo?!

Damn it! Someone should've told me this before my horrible experience of ripping a broken SNES apart to shove in a motherboard and a dvd player.
