Don't play LANs much nowadays, but when I was in college, I worked at student help desk, and every Friday we would play Starcraft all day during work hours when we had nothing to do.
I got the SNES classic last year from Amazon treasure truck. Playing Super Mario World again with the controller brought back to my childhood. Nostalgia factor makes the experience for me.
I'm using the G502 at work. Love the free wheel scroll for working with Excel. I believe BestBuy had the proteus version for 35$ a few weeks back. Mostly out of stock in stores now and not available for shipping. Maybe still available in your area. I was looking for one myself and went with G602...
