So it's been a while since this came out, and I was wondering how it's holding up for you guys that bought it? I was thinking of getting one myself.

No problems here. Been using them since they first came out.

I have a launch unit that I've used a lot. Be advised I've been playing AVS a lot more frequently than NES since I received mine in fall 2006.

I can highly recommend it, although similar to Kosmic, I have been mainly using the AVS recently, so haven't had to over exert my BLW.

I modded one of my Game Genies to work with it by sawing off part of the nose. Still no issues with the pin connectors, even after cramming in that thick pcb.
