I have been on EBAY and all I can find is the NES Famicom but I can't find the clones that copied off of that console, any help would be appreciated.
here's one:

I have a lot and some of them are even with the original boxes they came in. And i am willing to give them dirt cheap :) if you are interested in photos pm me
PAL or NTSC ?
Sorry Pirate, I am kind of new to this so whats the difference between the 2?
It is a tv standard... If your tv is new 100% it supports both pal and ntsc
Whats better for a newer tv like an LCD or Plasma?
If your tv is American you want NTSC, as that is the American standard.
PAL is the TV format in Europe
yes but every lcd and plasma support both ntsc and pal
Then I guess I want an NTSC Famiclone.

But with a PAL famicone you have to play slower with borders on screen and squished graphics.
i saw some cool ones over on yahoo auctions japan. they were really cheap but i expect shipping is going to be pretty expensive. i snagged one of those famiclones posted earlier on here because it was so cheap.
Why don't you get one of these? I'm picking one up myself, just as an addition:

He'll have more in stock soon. Worth it because of the famicom resemblance and the great multicart that comes with it I'd say.
That does look like a nice clone, let us know what it's like when you get it please. :)
Dang, I just saw that console and missed out, I would have bought that. Any other place I could get that?

Try sending the seller a message on eBay telling him you are interested in one of these clones and maybe he will list one for you. That is what I would do.
I would definitely recommend NTSC over PAL wherever you are.
I grew up with PAL games but they are noticably slower and it's so annoying.
By the way, I sent that seller a message asking for one myself - but if/when it arrives it'll be going straight into storage as a NIB famiclone to accompany my other one. I know that sounds ridiculous but I have an AV famicom on the way to play and an SFC Super 8 too, so I don't need a famiclone to play, I just think it looks fantastic (for a clone).
He's sold a fair few so they seem popular at least.
I think they are PAL, they were much cheaper on volumerates, but no longer avaliable.
Tonev! pm sent!
