Mega Man 9 press kit

I was lucky enough to get a code for purchasing the Mega Man 9 press kit a couple of weeks ago and today my order has arrived. Capcom put together 200 of these in celebration of the release of Mega Man 9.

If you aren't familiar with it, the box art is an homage to the terrible artwork associated with the North American version of Mega Man 1 for the NES:

The actual kit is a real NES cartridge that has been stripped of screws and logic board, then reassembled with magnets and a new label. The first auction for one of these on eBay went for $750 but as you can see (since I opened it) I'll be keeping mine!

Here are some photos I've taken of the unboxing:
