    Exactly my thoughts, 3 just seemed to be milking it. I still managed to get most of the others at knock down prices from a friend:o I liked ODST it brought something new but then it just turned bad again.

    Halo 3 lasted all of an hour in my drive, was close to just chucking it in the bin....

    I have to be a cliche and back out of the Everdrive, just spent 40 quid today on assorted games and tings, if I go and blow another 55 on the Everdrive I'll be shot, can't do it, even though I want it!!!
    Damn you emergent impulse control!

    I'm just about done with the current gen stuff at release, I will make an exception for Under Defeat of course. It seems now if you're willing to wait a few months the price will be slashed to make way for the next big thing. RE6 was a disappointment filled with neither terror or suspense hardly living up to its hype. I picked up a stack of jap Saturn stuff that set me back less than a new release and a couple of gba games too.

    It's a great price on them, if it was a snes one I would pick it up. I wonder what he will want for the sfc, the game doctor are a bit gone by the way since the UFO8 and Everdrive with the SD support.

    Agreed on all these points, played the RE6 demo and that was enough for me, they've ruined this franchise and I don't think they'll ever get back to the tension the first two had. "The Last of Us" is the only game I'm awaiting release of at the mo so fingers crossed on this one. I've also started to rebuild my Dreamcast collection, so this is where my attention is at, god I love that machine !

    Going to head up on my break and collect it.

    Here , gog.com are having an EA Sale , amongst other things Starflight 1 and 2 pack is 2 quid, great games and well worth checking out (graphically though the meg version is a lot better mind you !)

    I don't think you would get a better price on it anywhere, just bring it home under the cover of darkness;)

    The driving machine is approx 190cm x 70cm x 70cm. Selling because it does not get any use any more. Some of the branding on the box has been flawed over the years. Collection only

    What a weird way of saying 'my kids have peeled the artwork off'

    Those yolks are dreadful. Monster size an tiny tiny monitor. Always seem to sell for a good bit on ebay though - could never figure out why?

    Yeah, went back for another look at it, these days my eyes couldn't take a screen that small. :o

    Apart from the tiny screen, do ye think think 800 is a reasonable price for it ? 156 games sounds like its a multigame pcb rather then a mame cab.

    I remember playing one in a shop in London about 6 or 7 years ago. Think it was selling at 1500. Which probably explains that auction price. Youd get a new astro city delivered from ronnie for about 850

    I was up in Tescos in clarehall and the seem to be flogging the older 360 model. I think it was the arcade bundle the one with the pac man logo on the front for 100 euro. I don't know how reliable they are but their brand new and might suit somebody for that money. Would you still get the old 3 warranty with them?;)

    Nice! Asking price is too expensive though. Got mine with cardboard sleeve on ebay for about €80 last year.

    Retr0'll love this bit!

    I received this game in a trade a while back and played it, really great game, epic as final fantasy 7!

    I hope he wasn't running it in that Ikea unit he got. I think it happens to them all sooner or later, I on my third.:(

    I had a feeling he didn't have the sleeve, that's why I asked him if he had it. It's not worth near 150 without the sleeve, if it was mint with the sleeve it might make close to it on Ebay but I don't think you would get it on Adverts.
    80 euro was a fine price to get it for.
