    Edit - How the hell do people let carts get so dirty? The same amount of gunk came outta this one is the same as Rush N attack in the pic previously. I got the stickers off this cart but have to wash the plastic now to remove sticker gunk. Do people store carts in flower beds these days? Main sticker is damaged but I seen that in the auction & didn't mind given its cheap price. I can live with that :)

    Damn you the deepest circle of hell, that is a bog in Offaly.

    I got Maximum Carnage in post this day. In lovely condition! Going give it a fife up later this evening when I get home from a fun day of Sociology.

    Has anyone used this Snes Competition Pro controller with the Genesis style D-Pad by any chance?

    What's the verdict on these compared to the original? :)

    The PS2 collection is well worth finding although, and this is a serious warning, even you deluded Golden Axe fans will find it hard to love the faecal stain that is the remake of Golden Axe on the disk,

    Every review in Edge is 'the voice of the magazine'. It either means everyone that has ever worked at Edge is a muppet for thinking Gunstar Heroes is a solid 6/10 and Halo is the most perfect FPS ever that is beyond criticise or else they don't want to give the authors by lines in case they the good ones get poached.

    Oh, Dragon Blaze has a prop proper Tate know alright, and, with some experimentation, So do the vertical shooters in the ps1 capcom collection, so that's 1942, 43, 43 Kai, commando, mercs amongst others. Which is nice! Samurai Ace is next, quite cheap on ebay too.

    Just having a peep at Samurai Aces for the PS2, less than a fiver! Not sure what the postage is from France, waiting for him to get back to me.

    Nearly forgot, also picked up Arkanoid for the DS, haven't seen it around before tbh, only 7.99 so it must be good!! Seems pretty rare.

    Looks like fun.
    Must pick up the Space Invaders Extreme games as well, they are getting cheap too.

    Looks like this is the time to buy up all those DS titles you promised yourself, they aren't going to get any commoner me thinks!

    Well, bargain of my week, more or less.
    I just got Samurai Aces for the PS2, pal edition, for 2.50 on ebay, now the postage was about 7.90 or so, but the game came to less than €11 and I think my Psikyo vert Shmup collection is nearly complete!
    Gods, I have to stop this, it's madness!!

    I am delighted to see that so many great games are going for rock bottom prices out there, this genre seems to be overlooked by a great many.
    I reckon that rpgs this well reviewed are going for stupid money, look at Square, Enix or Nintys back catalogue of RPG titles.
    Despite Taito, Psikyo and Raizing being the best in the business, the Pal releases at least are going for easy money right now.
    I wonder if they'll appreciate over time?
    Anyways, that's the last purchase for a while, I want to build an arcade stick now from a solid but cheap USB PC stick and cannibalise an old PS pad for some proper Shmup action.

    I know, I sold mine to a guy/gal in Australia for silly money QED!

    But, it's all going a bit Pete Tong, since I swore off buying full price games, or even half price releases for the current gen of home consoles, I seem to be picking bargains for everything else!

    Must stop!

    That's always been my problem. Can't resist a bargain!

    Whenever I pass on something, I always feckin' regret it too. Still wish I'd bought that Battle Garegga that I came across on ebay for £60 recently!

    £60 + shipping is still a good few bob for a console game but still a total bargain compared to the other prices it commands. :(

    I've been debating for the last week or so whether to buy a console version of some of my PCBs just because they'll save scores or maybe save replays. :confused:

    Heh, tell me about it! Sometimes it's very hard to see the bigger picture when you compare the game to it's usual going rate.

    'BUT IT'S PANZER DRAGOON SAGA FOR €100 POSTED!!!'

    'Yeah you numpty, you're still paying €100 for a videogame'

    'but but but!'

    Regarding the console versions, how about finding a happy medium and just playing some back up copies?
