    I'm guessing you UPC fellows have it downloaded already - let us know if it's the real deal before I kick it off and leave running overnight. :D

    Looks like there's only about 60 seeders with the full thing... could take a while before the torrent speeds up.

    The should have left it a while & just released the full game, I mean, why bother releasing a segment of it considering the project is already years beyond the due date. I think it was '09 when they announced it was just about ready

    Oh I found the key recently, the receptacle for it is destroyed though so its a lost cause. I havn't got the funds to replace the keyboard either as its a Logitech wireless one :(

    Can't say I have a huge interest in the Xen levels, so I'm happy with this.

    On the crappy eircom connection work at the moment. Will head home to my UPC connection soon and hopefully it will be better there.

    Yeah the Xen levels are quite a departure, but I'd still prefer a full game to half a full game

    I'll be sticking it on a fast server for another site if anyone wants a fast direct download of it later on this evening.
    I'll break it into a few parts so it's not just one big 3GB download. It's at 95 percent for me now anyway.

    Yeah. Let me know. I'm just getting about 10kb here for some reason.

    Some lad was selling wild guns for the snes on adverts for 40e , I offered asking and he won't take it, just seen the same cart up on ebay

    Fair enough he didn't realize it was so rare but people should do there research before selling games imo, very annoying for me as the game is ridiculously hard to get

    Adverts will never improve until the feedback system is drastically overhauled

    Yeah I agree, I'm not gonna make a fuss out of it as the chap seems to be leaving the country and needs all the money he can get, but this kind of thing happens far too often

    Ok, will do. It's completed for me now.
    Will test it after a bit of dinner and sort out the server upload.

    Dat CD-I!

    US region data is all well and good but I'd love to know where to look for data on the Irish RRPs of consoles at launch. Especially for pre-Euro console releases (I'd love to know if Ireland really was an expensive or cheap PAL country, at least as far as day 1 hardware goes).

    I suppose looking through newspaper archives for ads in the days running up to launch would be the most accessible primary source - they could be counted on to get complaints written in for printing inaccurate information. Anyone done this before? Do all public libraries have newspaper archives?

    Kinda sucks that neither handhelds nor add-ons like the 32x, Sega CD and the HD-DVD drive for the 360 didn't get included too.

    Was going to offer asking but blew all my money on DS games this week. Would have been a bargain alright. I think the first person offering money, can't spell his name but he posts here, got greedy looking for it cheaper, it was a steal at 40. Aw well there might be a sniping opportunity on ebay.

    Oh we were well ripped off especially compared to the continent and the UK. Ireland paid a big premium on games and consoles when we had the punt. It seems the tables have turned now and we are paying less than the sterling price but still being ripped off by japanese and UK standards.

    Anybody remember these on adverts recently, seller would not budge on price. Seems he traded they into the Rage in the end judging by this photo . He was looking for over 100 euro for the two gameboy Zeldas here and the other Oracle game too, never mentioned they were US gbc games. I would love to know what the Rage paid given their trade in prices.:confused:

    Is there any difference from US/Eur gameboy games packaging etc? They're region free I think
