    Cart only...I'll hazard a guess at a price in the RAGE of €120

    Cool! Really interested in seeing how they price that one alright.

    It's such a shame they're no longer like they were in the old days, without a clue which items were worth money. :D

    Asking for free donations after a flood etc :D Ah it was inevitable they'd jack up the prices once they got established. I see its now three cans of Cherry Cola in Dealz for €1.50 now & not four anymore...damn mainstream profits

    In the US the retro stores charge more than the going price for the common games since they sell more of them and since they inevitably end up with rarities for next to nothing they charge significantly less than the ebay average for them so they get the collectors in as well. I'd prefer that to the rage way of ajcking everything up beyond the ebay price.

    Actually they are looking for €100, just rang them and asked.
    The the guy recommended that I trade stuff in to being the price down, which was actually pretty decent.

    €100 for a Wily Wars cart only?

    See here's the issue with that which they don't seem to realize.

    Someone who is crazy enough to spend €100 on a Wily Wars cart is a collector.

    What do collectors of that level go for? Complete in box games.

    There's no market for a cart only Wily Wars for that price.

    As far as I'm aware, 100 stingers for a cart only Wily Wars is a bit of a rip off.

    My prediction: The Legend of Dragoon 2 as a launch title.

    Remains to be seen if we still get that awesome menu music.

    Legend of Dragoon? Isn't that meant to be really good? I've never played it before.

    I think Retr0 is the one who's always going on about how great that one is. Better than Earthbound I think he said?

    But he says the version on the CDi is the best, if only people would give it a chance.

    Don't even joke about these things. What wil happen if Sony ****s out another Legend of Dragoon shaped turd! Everything that is wrong with JRPGs can be traced back to Legend of Dragoon because it existed.

    I think I'm kinda afraid to ask what you're referring to..........Well, go on
    then.

    Nintendo do own those Mario porn parodies, but it was only a case of
    snapping up the rights as to kill its distribution.

    On second thought though, I don't think I can stand watching all the marketing baloni. "Cutting edge" "the future of gaming" etc...

    I'll just read a few bullet points on the ps4 tomorrow.

    Sony press conference in brief:

    Lots of stuff that wasn't about The Last Guardian.

    That's about it, really.

    Thought the conference was pretty boring. Was weird seeing killzone 4 not using black and white tone and actually had colour but i wasant impressed by its scale.

    Alot of mehs and hmm but overall im not excited for it

    That was disappointing. Watchdogs was the only good thing there and it's multiplatform. Killzone 4 looked like Cidermans game of the decade and after a good start stuff blew up and it went full brown mode again and then managed to rival CoD for ridiculous. Knack did look interesting.

    No Legend of Dragoon 2 at least. Nobody has dared open that pandora's box at least.

    Actually the Capcom game looked good.

    One thing a friend of mine noticed was some weird publishers and developers signed up for PS4. Falcom (a new PS4 Ys game?), XING (Haven't seen these since the Saturn, Soukyugurentai 2?) and of course Idea fuck Factory.

    Who the hell was that conference aimed at? It was so boring and just filled with meaningless marketing jargon.

    I certainly can't see anyone talking about that old mans face in the same way they talked about the PS1 T-Rex, that's for sure.

    It's just hard to get that level of emotion into at tyranasaur.
