    I have an NTSC NR reader with a dead laser, I swapped it out for a retail laser so it's essentially a switch-modded Cube now. I still have the NR laser as well.

    No idea what it's worth mind, anyone got any ideas?

    I think Dot50Cal's NR reader's laser is dying :p

    A functional NR reader costs about 300-400 to boot, last time I checked. I have seen it going for 300 POUNDS as well!

    Not any more - I sold a boxed US/JP model, with controller, instructions, AV and Power leads for a mere £100 in september. I wish it had reached $300!

    Well, if someone is willing to sell a working one for about that much, I may be interested as well. I'm still most interested in a broken one, possibly with one or two dev games to go with it.

    Im hoping to give this as a christmas present, so if you have one you would like to sell, please pm me!!

    Nah, My babies are doing ok :lol:

    As for price, they have come down a LOT. $120 is about the going price if your known in the community, possibly even less.

    "Dev Games" are going to cost you a lot more though.

    around $120 for a NR reader O_O
    I thought they went for much more.
    is the price similar for the PAL NR readers too?
