I bought one March 3rd here in Chicago, Il, U.S.  A very nice machine.
The graphics are very good for the display.  It is very crisp.

My dealer did not have any add-on games left.  He had apparently assumed
that each purchaser would have different tastes and only get several
add-on games.  In fact the first buyers bought one of everything.  I
guess I will have to wait for new shipments.

Check it out.  They are great fun.  (Also great baby-sitters for longer
car trips :-)
