I'm really at a loss as to why it would cost that much. It doesn't look to be made of any precious metal and as others have mentioned anybody with access to a kiln or a yard sale could make this at a tenth of the cost. What were they smoking when they priced this thing?

@ballaboy311: AND you should get a black candle, plug it in to your 2600, invite a pal over, and see if he notices when you fire up Air-sea Battle!

$100, ouch.

Looks kinda shoddy craftmanship too. Good idea though.

When the electricity goes out during a winter storm, I could play video games by candle light...

Kidding aside, I think they are neat, but if they cost more than free, I ain't havin' 'em.

@ballaboy311: I'd leave it black, it would probably look cooler. That's a really good idea, by the way.

You could get an actual atari controler that doesnt work on ebay for 2 dollars and then break off the joystick and paint the whole thing white and save yourself 98 dollars.

100 bucks for something I could probably make for ten. Fat chance!
