    It's like an alco falling off the wagon, isnt it? Same thing happened to me in January. I ended up spending a fortune. Had been good for months and months.

    What you pick up anyway, anything tasty?

    Exactly like that :(

    Nah nothing out of the ordinary, some cheap £1 2600 carts, snes, Mastersystem Zapper, Sonic Spinball [yes, Sonic Spinball] etc. Oh I got Aladdin on the snes, really loved that game.

    I think it was £2 for a boxed copy...for the sake of completion and all :o

    The discount code makes it ridiculously hard to talk yourself out of it :(

    Something absolutely disgusting just arrived in the post today. I'm ashamed. I also lost something today, any shred of dignity anyone here had left for me.

    I couldn't take a picute because just pointing the camera at this... thing melted it with pure evil so I'll use one stolen from google images:

    well this has been a one of those weeks for me, lots of new things but nothing to show for it, car parts for a service and bills just to name some of the exciting things! I did get a new kick ass frying pan though!

    Sometimes I really enjoy not having a car :)

    The hour commute I'm about to embark on is not one of them :(

    Having a car is worth if, if nothing else, not to have to endure public transport.

    Shudder.

    Best thing I got this week is an email from MS confirming my cancellation of my xbox live sub. Hopefully no more email spam from them about it too. :pac:

    I know, I'll have to buy something legendary like Super Metroid or Link to the Past to counteract the pure ****tiness I've recieved.

    The worst part of it is waiting for a bus on Abbey street every day. Sometimes I think I've accidentally wandered into Raccoon City.

    Woah wait a minute.

    You don't own Super Metroid or LTTP?

    But you own Superman on the N64?

    ...

    GTFO!

    Once you get a car you'll never want to take a bus again. The lack of junkies and youths smoking 'adult cigarettes' at the back while playing **** RnB or 'dance' music on their phones is bliss.

    I own both although LttP is the GBA version :P Have a PAL copy of Super Metroid and I stupidly bought it on virtual console as well.

    Aye. A nice curio. There's a couple of official Photo CD's for the Saturn. I don't think there's any SHMUP smut though... :(

    Nice, I'm about to get serious with my Saturn collecting over the next 6 months. Any recommendations are welcome.

    I plan to get a few different and rarer Saturn consoles and then start collecting the games properly.

    Should be fun(and pricey).

    Not sure what Saturn consoles you have, however I adore my Model 1 NTSC-J Saturn. If I was to buy another Saturn, I'd love a Victor Saturn.

    Some nice stuff in there. I've got a couple of Saturns already, an NTSC-J one and a standard PAL one as well as a dead one. Have a good few games including the obligatory Radiant Silvergun X2(3500 yen each a few years ago in Tokyo, the games not rare by any standard over there) but haven't really done much in the way of collecting.
    I did pick up Panzer Dragoon Saga last year.

    Isn't that the game Pantryboy got too? Definitely get a Victor Saturn if you are going to collect the consoles. I believe it's the Victor (aka JVC) console that has both the photo operator and VCD card built in.

    It's more expensive than a standard Saturn, but it's very cool and looks great. I think Goldstar and Toshiba made Saturn consoles too.

    I picked that up over the summer alright. As close to mint you can get it without it being VGA graded really. Had to after playing Retr0's copy, absolutely amazing game.

    I have Zwei but haven't played it yet. My Saturn is set up, yet I find myself playing RefRain Prism Memories instead... :confused:

    Is Saga that rare across all regions?

    Funnily enough, Zwei is the only one I don't have :D

    It costs a bomb in English. The PAL version is by far the nicest. It's also the rarest. The Japanese one isn't too hard to find, but doesn't go for a lot like all Japanese RPGs.

    The source code of the game was lost, so it aint ever going to see a rerelease. Only way to pay it is to shell out for an original english copy or get yourself a some dodgy pirate discs!
