    Nothing? It's of no use to me now really anyway and I can't be arsed replacing the screen on it as it's caused me enough frustration.

    You can have it for nowt, if you fancy re-embursing me with a swap or whatever that's up to you but it's not expected at all.

    I have it in work with me here and I'll be around Stephen's Green later today hopefully after 5pm meeting up with Steve_Si so if you're around you can have it later.
    ah grand :), I'll try and make my way to the city centre in the next day or so if you can hang on to it (I'll drop you a pm):)

    Head's up. Mate of mine just put me on to this:

    http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/street-fighter-x-tekken-arcade-stick-fightstick-xbox-360-ps3-49-99-gameshark-1540893

    Won't be getting it myself as I've already spent way too much cash since pay day but worth a look for people that want to mod it with proper buttons etc.

    Not a bad deal at all.

    Shame it has a sanwa stick and buttons. I'd have bought one if it was seimitsu.

    With the £90 saving you could buy some tasty Seimitsu's and swap them in. :)

    On the topic of sticks, it always seems to be fight sticks on the market - can't think of a single shmup stick, or one marketed as such.

    It's the demand I guess! In the grand scheme of things, nobody really plays shmups :(

    That special edition Futari stick had Seimitsu parts from what I remember.

    That's why I mentioned people wanting to swap in proper buttons. I consider Seimitsu proper order.

    Although I probably don't know what I'm talking about considering that I'm building my own cab with knockoff Chinesey Seimitsu clones. :D

    I just stuck up a really nice Sega Multi-Mega on adverts.

    I'll give a nice discount if it goes to a good home here on A&R :)

    I've replaced it with a NTSC CDX so this PAL Multi Mega is looking for another caring home.

    Can't wait for an adverts mod to come along, move it and say something along the lines of: "Ohh, we felt that your advertisement belonged in the portable CD player section..."

    Wow it looks like it's actually pricier than I thought it was. You can pick them up second hand here it seems:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B002JTWNIM/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used

    I'm not sure my brother even uses the one that I gave to him though, I'll ask if I can have it back. If you fancy gluing some of it back together it's yours to keep if you want it... providing he gives it back of course!

    I'd like to see somebody get some enjoyment out of it anyway.

    On the issue of retrogame prices in bricks and mortar stores debacle, as the national media are calling it, we have Retropolis selling Twilight Princess, for the GC, at €35.....
    Not bad, given this is selling for considerably more elsewhere.
    This info was on their FB page, fyi

    good price if mint, if it was The Rage you'd probably only get the disc for that price.

    Cex is on Liffey Street, beside Arnotts.
    Retropolis is half way up Thomas Street on the left (coming from Christchurch).

    Too bad everyone didn't sell with your kind of prices and when are you going to sell a 3do?

    Ok ok ok... serious question here guys.

    I could very easily sell my current Mega Drive II and Mega CD II setup to raise funds to purchase that Multimega. So very very tempted... how much do you guys think it could fetch for?

    Wasn't O1s1n looking for around 70 for a similar Megadrive 1 combo?
    But that might have been mates rates.
    Tbh, separately they'd be in the region of 30 and 50, but the market for them is small here.
    Good luck shifting them though.
