I'm a huge fan of just about everything having to do with the NES, as you may have guessed by now. It's my favorite vintage system and just being near one makes me feel all glowy. That being said, I know I am not the only one with this little fetish, as I can clearly see that Hot Topic is selling all kinds of trinkets having to do with the NES.
This, however, I have an issue with. FramedNES.com offers up the idea of framing your cartridges and peripherals, such as the light gun you see above. Ok, I'm not against that. However, I am against the idea of paying $80 to do so when I can go buy a box frame and do it myself for less than $20.
I appreciate the idea that someone may understand my love for these relics, but at the same time, don't try to rape my sense of nostalgia so blatantly. It's just ... rude.
[Thanks, Adam]

But is anyone really going to pay $80 to have a cartridge framed?
Who says they aren't? ;3
But there is one problem.
I am still using the damn things.
my NES SNES neo geo genesis CDX.what ever is still hooked up is a special cabinet and gets used.
Why would i wan tto frame it and make it harder to get at?
it is hard enough to get at them when i seal the games in plastic bins.
