I have an Xbox 360 and Xbox One, although both have some age on them because we moved here with them....but still serviceable.

I am talking a console like I built here. All kinds of Nintendo and Snes games. There is nothing like playing the classics and finding out that they were harder to play than we remember.
My brother actually just built a retro console this past weekend, and we were talking about how hard and frustrating some of the old games are.

When I become rich, I promise I will come visit :)

Dude. It cost almost 3x as much to go there. I found a flight to Varadero yesterday for $485 from here (return) and almost crapped my pants at how cheap it was, until this morning it was at $435. The taxes on that ticket are $385, which means they are charging you $50 to fly to and from Cuba.
I want to go soooo bad.

From Chicago in January (depending on dates) it’s close to $600 to Santiago, unless you want the flight(s) to take more than a day with stops. Like, leave 9:00AM and arrive at 3:00AM the next morning. Not an easy trip at the lowest prices, which were over $500.

Last night it was $930 to Santiago. Punta Cana was cheaper as the one airline has their packages go there and so offer cheaper flights. That is the one that flies to Varadero only and not Havana.

What do you mean 'build' a console, Zedman? Assamble one out of working parts or something else? And yeah, some older games are ridiculously hard.
