Lol how did you get a SNES out of the store.
Back then the boxes were just out on the shelves. This was before Target used glass cases and alarms by the front door. I bought the cheaper Control Deck for $99.99. I then went back in the aisle where the Super Nintendos were. Just hung out watching other kids play on the display set up. Then I took the Deluxe Set and put it in the same brown paper bag as the Control Deck. Walked out, got on my bike and went home. Came back the next day to get a refund on the Control Deck. Another time I opened up one of the SNES boxes and took a controller out, then to avoid detection by undercover loss prevention I took an AsciiPad to the register and paid for it. Then I did the button swap to make the SNES controller look like a Super Famicom controller.
that's definitely a "steal" then...
