      That is a very cool bag! I love to see the retro gaming theme coming to the surface more and more.

      BEWARE!!! I bought this for my son who was starting Middle School. After about a month of carrying his 6th Grade textbooks in it – it started to come apart at the seams. Now after two months of use, one entire shoulder strap has ripped off the backpack. So $60 has to be thrown out! It’s sad that this bag can’t carry the weight of a middle schooler’s books. It would make a good bag to carry a videogame system in, though, but not books.

      Thanks for letting us know, Kevin. Sounds, somewhat ironically, like this bag and Nintendo’s new Wii Speak accessory have a great deal in common – that being that its single use only and should something happen, you’re….you’ll have to buy a new one.
