    The UK usually gets stuff a week or two before the rest of us.
    All we need to make the new ipad a must have is an updated iMame4all with an updated game roster.
    I'd buy that for a dollar!

    Not sure about pre-orders for Ireland but its available from the 23rd of this month in shops(if you manage to grab one of the 5 iPad's they get in stock).
    Nothing about pre-orders on the Irish apple site just yet.

    .

    Groovy. Happy to wait it out. I have a coupon for the Apple site so I'll just buy it there. Same place I bought the refurb iPad 1. Delivery was super swift with them, no messing around.

    By the way, I asked yer wan at Gamestop if they were selling on the iPads. Apparently not, they are just sending them to Apple. Very weird.

    You know you can add games to iMame4All even if you're not jailbroken.

    I jailbroke my iPad the day I got it. An hour later it was back to factory stock. Couldn't be bothered with it.

    In the ownership lifespan of my iPad one, all I did was play Cave shmups and the excellent Darius Burst iOS...

    ...which I might start blubbing about now. I miss Darius Burst iOS! Where's my Darius Burst AC EX tote bag so I can blub my tears on to it?

    I'm off to go play Darius Burst on the PSP, hate the controls, then play some Darius R on the Game Boy Micro to cheer me up!

    ...then realize Steven Emmanuelle Ulysses SI has two copies of Darius Alpha and blub some more. :(

    It's not 100 percent yet. That copy that was on sale in Akihabara is now sold to someone I know very well over there. Possible trade happening if we can agree on something.

    I wonder how many are left of these things? Can I possible get them all?
    Am I like that dude from Pokemon who has to catch em all?

    Hmm, well, it's estimated 800-1000 copies were produced. I'd wager about a quarter are MIA forever. That leaves 600-800 copies left wild, or 598-798 discounting your two copies.

    And I've seen about 3 or 4 on eBay right now, plus the one your mate owns. I'd love to be able to compile a list of all the owners and find out where all the copies are round the world.

    It only counts if it comes with the small black book of hints too.

    Here's the annoying thing for myself. I have the game with a new battery and battery holder soldered in by yourself, the map, the booklet, the small black book of hints...

    But no bloody cart box or inlay!!!

    I've been looking for the full gold PAL box on it's own and inlay for years, but they just don't exist on their own. Beyond annoying.

    I got the cart and all the inserts along with a Snes in a secondhand shop years ago. In fact, it was my mam who picked it up. Had a selection of about 20 amazing snes games. All with their booklets and inserts - just no boxes. Really frustrating as you know at some point in time someone just decided to throw them all out.

    Here's another big box Zelda rarity, German PAL only this time. Apparantly the last one of these went for well over a grand.

    Thats a very nice price steve. I'm on the look out for a PSU myself, but would be a shame to split it.
