    Default NES Carry case

    So I was randomly browsing through the Atari 5200 section of the DP guide, and I noticed that a Carry Case was listed, and as I have a NES one I flicked to the NES section to see its rarity.
    But it wasn't there.
    Anyone know why not? Is it because it might have only been a PAL release, or has nobody ever heard of it before.

    It's completely grey, looks like a plastic briefcase and very ugly. It has room for a NES, controller, 8 games, RF unit and power supply.
    Conform. Consume. Obey.

    Mine looks like the one on this UK auction, but cleaner:

    but it's the only one I could find.

    I've never seen on personally, but I bet there is one from the US, at the least. With all the nameless companies making NES stuff, I wouldn't be surprised. I'm on it.

    Oh, there was TONS of this crap. I mean, fuck, you'll still find generic "carry cases" like this these days for modern consoles. Even I had one for my NES. It wasn't a briefcase thing, it was more like a plastic display case that had slots for (loose) NES games and drawers for your controllers. Cheap plastic + use with huge money-making product = Australian hookers for all.

    It's just me or the game in front of the SMB in the Ebay UK picture seem weird ?

    Or it's just a label variation. The picture was taken to far to know what is it.

    Looks like SMB/DK cart to me. Maybe, maybe not.

    never seen that one in particular, but....
    there were so many knock offs and other companys making nes stuff at the time. who really knows every item out there.
    but it looks like something nice to have in a nes collection.

    I think the best carrying case is the one that was officially made by Nintendo.. You see them pop once in a while on eBay.. I got the blue outside/red inside one.. but have seen one with the colors reversed as well.. it has Nintendo stiched on the outside, and an official tab sown on the inside.

    It's really nice.. anyone know what I'm talking about?

    @LeonK Yeah, that's the one I have that I keep all my spare controllers in. It is the nicest one, very thick foam padding inside, and thick straps all around, it really feels like your NES is safe inside this bag.

    Yep, I have the same one, although somehow my dad stole it and uses it for his fishing equipment. I gotta steal it back.

    I've seen the same one with the red outside, and blue stiching... any other colors exist??

    As far as for fishing.. WOW! What a waste of a great collectable item!
