... and ThinkGeek do the 8-Bit Tie too! Their international shipping is a bit steep though, so try eBay or www.materialist.com.au (pretty sure it's the ThinkGeek one and not a knock off).
@Jasmine Things can be 8-bit without being from that era. From what I can gather about this post, it's just about things in an 8-bit style rather than things that are legitimately retro.
The 8-bit Universal logo intro from Scott Pilgrim is a good example. It was retro in style and was a brilliant 8-bit mockup (and I love it to bits). It doesn't matter that it's not "retro" in the sense of being historic.
I personally collect video games and memorabilia from the 8-bit and 16-bit eras but just as much love modern day renditions in an 8-bit style. As such I love some of the things in this post!
Now I just have to hope that someone makes an 8-bit Wall-E. :D
