What's in the case

  • The console, cleaned and tested before every rental
  • Controllers: two, or four with the N64
  • Your ten games
  • A memory card for the consoles that use one
  • Power and video cables, plus an HDMI adapter so it plugs into the TV you already own

Everything rides in foam inside a waterproof hard case built for camera gear, so it gets to you the way it left us.

The library

Pick any ten. This is the planned launch library. Consoles and titles may change before we open.

    Questions

    Will it work with my TV?

    Yes. Every kit includes an adapter that turns the console's video into HDMI, so it plugs into any modern TV.

    Are these the original consoles?

    Yes. Original consoles, controllers, cartridges and discs. Nothing is emulated and nothing is copied.

    Can I save my game?

    Yes. Cartridge games save on the cartridge, and PlayStation kits come with a memory card. Saves are wiped between rentals.

    When do you open?
