  • 3rd comment.. ah ok, you covered the worth of it.. good show.. 150 u reckon? cool.

  • @shenmueso £150 - £200, when I got mine. I don't think the price has changed too much since then, though I haven't been following them.

  • oh bloody typical, ive been watching loads of reviews of this by humpties who can hardly string a sentence together, i should have known you would have a review of it!

    im thinkin of gettin one, but the prices are silly for somethin thats basically a bit shit. what do you think would be a good price for it boxed, with games? or just boxed...

    apologies if u cover value and such in the vid.. im commenting before the vid ends.. like a boss.

  • @shenmueso They really aren't as crap as many people think. The monochrome red is a limitation, but you get used to it, and the stand is a piece of junk. Also the headaches are a bummer, but the gaming experience itself is so unique, it's worth putting up with the downsides :)

  • Really good video Steve!

  • @RUSS16V2 Thanks Russ :)

  • what i cant believe is that NO ONE reviewing this on youtube, so far, has mentioned those old tomytronic toys.. they were basically shit virtual boys.. but they were ace!!

  • I love the Virtual Boy. If it wasn't so damn expensive and so damn breakable, I would get one. I'd be the envy of all my friends.

  • I hate the Virtual Boy but I have to admit it is an important part of Nintendo's History, even if they might forget about it

    With the todays Nintedo 3DS, you can see how Nintendo learned there lessons and the Virtual Boy proved that 3D gaming was to early

    I have 3DS and it is amazing to look and the games are also amazing :)

  • @averyps The same as they're thinking now. 3D will sell. They just didn't get the formula right with the Virtual Boy.
