    It could be but something is telling me that there's a chance that it might not could be a model of a twin famicom and that it might possibly could be in fact not a model.

    I have absolutely no idea what you just said.

    If it's not a model, then some odd ball is using tilt shift photography on their ebay pictures.

    They look like poker machine conversions, have a look at the control panels, crazy angle, you couldn't play comfortably on that:eek:
    LCDs in cabinets are just wrong, played on the cabinet in the Thomas house and its dreadful, not to mention the screen was cut across the whole bottom

    Fairly straight forward.

    It's a model. Check the controller. I was confused for a day.

    I know it's a model. That's not what confused me. What confused me was your nonsensical drunken post :pac:

    The shipping is indeed reasonable. It's kind of the reverse of the list item cost high shipping scam off eBay. It sells for over €600 does it not though?

    On Western sites, pretty sure it's a bit more reasonable in japan. Would love to have one, maybe I'll fit in getting one with a holiday to japan :)

    It is fairly nice for sure. So many variations of the famicom as well; twin famicom, av famicom and that tv combo just to name a few.
    I'm thinking of getting either the twin or AV model.
    A working model now not a model model.

    Anyone fancy buying a 3DO from an Irish ebay seller?

    Boxed 3DO FZ-1 in Ireland for 110 BIN. With games.

    3DO, gods own console dammit!
    Unfortunately the range of games is poor, PO'ed is overrated and Gex is terrible.
    Space Hulk is nice but also done on other consoles and Flashback is, well, Flashback.
    At least you get the excellent sampler disk and there are ample resources out there for "obtaining" more games....

    I see Andrew76 got in there pretty sharpish!

    Shame I'm broke this month after far too many purchases, would have like that myself.

    Although, depends which version it is.

    A 3DO is for sale in Ireland? WOW!

    Personally I'd rather smear my own shít on the walls and play with that instead.

    Huh? No idea who that Usagi76 chap is.

    <_<
    >_>

    Bit of back and forth with the seller and it might actually be the case that what he thought was a working DX is actually just Raiden II. DX with no sound might be the only DX one. He's also going to check the region.

    I'll let you know anyway.

    I remember once upon a lift to beers chatting with Andrew, and him expressing little to no interest in smutty shmup ways.

    Look at him now! We should be collectively proud we've converted him to the way of pew pew pew - he may even put most of us to shame with his dedication to the cause :)

    Yeah that must be a few years ago now?

    What triggered the interest proper was watching o1s1n & Augmerson (?) playing Raiden, before the latter fell asleep. Loved the look of it and still my favourite shmup to this day. Old school ftw. :cool:

    My first beers that was, retr0 the host. Cidey with his Hawaiian shirt, bag of GBA stuff, modded Nomad and some strange energy drink. I thought Sera and atavan were an item as they seemed very friendly and yapped in a foreign language most of the night (turns out it was Pokemon related). retr0 obv had other plans afoot. :pac: Good craic.

    Well there you have it, turning Andrew76 on to the Raiden series. My proudest achievement in life :D

    I've been banging on for years to people about how good those games are. Nice someone finally listened!

    I'm pretty sure Augmerson has fallen asleep at every beers he's been to - even his own :pac:

    What is up with auctions on eBay ending up costing more than the same item on buy it nows?
    Yoshi Island this morning went for at least €10 more than one in similar condition on a BIN listing.
    Is it madness or stupidity?
