But the seller clearly labeled it as a repro so what's the problem.
Should these games be the exclusive purview of those who can pay the prices the market and speculators have decided they're worth?
If you'd rather not just have an installed SD card in a flash cart, and want a physical representation of the game.
No, as long as we are open about reproduction games then there should be no issue with it.
Con men online have always been there, taking money from gullible buyers, and its usually a case that if something is too cheap to be true its not typically true and if something is a genuine rare article the seller won't have a problem providing some sort of proof, a shot of the PCB or similar.

There's a small window of acceptability for such games as HS pointed out, non localised games, fan translations, unreleased stuff etc...but even at that, they're counterfeit games & by their very nature break ebay listing rules. Ebay turn a blind eye to them for some reason.

Almost picked up an amibo today. I was having a look in the new Gamestop in Bray and they had some of the basic ones(mario,luigi, yoshi etc).
I decided against it, they don't look that great and I won't actual use them for their actual purpose. Plus, I know me, one can lead to two, which can lead to a whole shelf dedicated to the things

CiDeRmAn · 10-06-2015 04:05PM

Two Shelves Steve FTW!

Just finished reading that now, what a great article!

And what a show, it truly was a masterpiece looking back on it.

If anyone doesnt have it , system shock 2 is currently 1.30 over at gog.com (for the next few hours anyway)
Sanctuary RPG is cheap as well (its a odd total ascii art rpg)

Jack burton · 12-06-2015 10:17PM

Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition and Nidhogg bought in the Steam sale

Looks like I'll be spending some of my pinball money on this instead

Had a mate over last night for a few drinks, started reminiscing about our old G.I Joe figures and vehicles that we stupidly sold off.

A bottle of wine later and I decided to buy this back on ebay. What have I done. :eek:

Retr0gamer · 13-06-2015 02:48PM

I remember the Christmas my brother got that. My dad spent the day swearing trying to put it together.

Jack burton · 13-06-2015 03:00PM

Well done! I had to limit my toy purchases over the last while because i was buying them to put into storage basically. Still mad to get a full set of those street fighter and mortal kombat gi joes

o1s1n · 13-06-2015 03:18PM

Hah! yeah that task always fell down to my mam. I got the Lego Black Seas Barracuda when I was a bit too young to build it - queue her swearing and bliding for two days

Here's the next thing on the hit list;

Migrating my whole media library here from Windows Media Center to Kodi (formerly XBMC)....there's a bit involved, from naming conventions & scrapers etc...but Kodi is just in a different league from what I can see. I started yesterday evening, am still going here, & have still to get to my TV Shows! Like Hyperspin, it'll all be worth it in the end....I hope!!

Installed that a while back but preferred the simpler layout of Plex. Well, maybe they're not exactly the same but I just needed to be able to stream films and tv shows to a tablet so Plex does that great for me.

Yeah I've heard good things about Plex for streaming etc. This pc is a HTPC (with multiple hdd's) so all the content is local & I've no need to stream. Still fiddling with file names etc here, nearly done with the movie end of things...it's creating doubles of a few movies (in Kovi itself) & I'm not quite sure why, it might be to do with having a year in the filename....

14-06-2015 09:55PM

I've been using plex for a year or more. Couldn't recommend it more. No set up and it just works.
Add a few of the 13euro now tv boxes and you get a great set up for peanuts.

Myrddin · 14-06-2015 10:14PM

Will have a look at Plex tomorrow, does it do art/plot scraping etc? Figured out the duplicfate issues with Kodi anyway - some of the films I'd ripped from dvd generated an *.ifo file in the films directory for some reason - Kovi was picking that file up as a separate video...sorted now. Think I've all the films done, I like how it sorts sequels into sets so the browser doesn't get cluttered up

DinoRex · 14-06-2015 10:36PM

Yu Suzuki just tweeted this photo form E3. Get hyped!

eddhorse · 14-06-2015 10:36PM

I used Filebot to rename everything and sort out issues and then a file scraper for XBMC for IMDB to get info etc.

Kodi is gone now, is it OSMC?
