NCS Sale of the Week Offering: September 7, 2009
Original Release in Japan: November 22, 1989
«©NCSX» When the PC-Engine first debuted in Japan on October 30, 1987, it was priced at a lofty JPY24,800 or US$269.10 as of this morning’s exchange rate. Adjusted for inflation, that’s US$461.46 in 2007 dollars. To target a less affluent customer base, NEC and Hudson released the PC-Engine Shuttle in 1989 at JPY18,800 which shipped with a modified expansion port and wasn’t compatible with the CD-Rom or Super CD-Rom. Since ram was prohibitively expensive back in the day, the Shuttle also didn’t have any way of storing save-game data... until NEC released the Shuttle Backup Unit. The unit includes a rechargeable Ni-Cad battery inside.
Product Condition: NCS' remaining inventory is brand new and factory boxed. The condition of the cardboard boxes ranges from excellent to mint condition and the units we're selling are from our private collection.
Sale Offering: Pricing per memory backup unit is set at US$38.90 each. If you reside within the continental US, NCS recommends shipping by USPS Priority Mail for the most economical domestic carriage cost.
