These have been at most Ollie's for the past month or longer along with certain other models depending on location. All are $299. Nothing really special as far as the price. Yes it was originally $699, but has been as low as $100 at Walmart and Sam's Club. If you sign up for Ollie's rewards program you get a 15% discount in store, so $255. Some people got the 30% off code a few weeks ago.
People are upset they removed all the late hits and some other "offensive" stuff from the game. Like A1Up's Frogger is not the original arcade music.
If you happen to live near an Ollies, their BF ad says NFL Blitz from Arcade 1UP is for $300. I'm not sure it will be in stock by the time you read this, but it's worth looking for, if you are nearby the store. That's the lowest I've seen for this one.
My local Ollie's has had a stack of these in-store for $299 since the middle of October. I was hoping they'd drop for Black Friday, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I did have luck last year with a gas fire pit—it was $169 on the shelf, and there were two left, but the employees were so tired of moving them around that they sold me one for $50! Might be worth asking a manager for a bigger discount if you have seen them in your store at this price for a whole.

It's like a dollar store, but based on $10 instead.
FYI, the NFL made this arcade 1up version politically correct for all the sensitive people.
""To support the NFL's current Player Health & Safety initiatives, a specific set of tackles and after-the-whistle hits were removed or edited in the remastered versions of NFL Blitz, NFL Blitz '99 and NFL Blitz 2000: Gold Edition while maintaining the level of excitement in the original games.
Our remastered version has over 84% of the different hits from the original Blitz, so do not worry, all of the fun chaos is still there."
If you want the legit version in a 1up, with the good tackle animations, swearing, and late hits which makes NFL blitz what it was originally designed as, just grab a simpsons cabinet when they are on sale and put the OG rom of nfl blitz on it so you can have the legit version. I recommend the simpsons cabinet because it has 6 buttons, where the blitz cabinet only has 2. If you want to just soft mod your cabinet to play other games, you definitely do not want to start with a 2 button cabinet since you will be limited in the end to games that only use 2 buttons.

I guess I'll stick with my Dreamcast and N64 versions of Blitz

And yes, the page title would be better if they'd set the title to "WTF is Ollie's"
