More good deals at buy.com it seems. Here is a Commodore 64 plug and play joystick featuring 30 authentic C64 games from buy.com for a mere $24.98. In fact, they’re not just authentic. It contains a REAL C64 rom in it!
So it’s an OK price–I’ve seen the cheaper in town from time to time. However! the hitch here is that you also get a free GoDaddy.com domain name ($10 value) when you purchase it. I’m sure there are other deals that include this at buy.com right now–but the real reason that this one is so cool is that this thing is hackable. There are several sites with instructions on how to split this puppy open and add peripherals to make it effectively a fully functional C64!
