Is $75 too much for Einhander and Symphony of the Night for the PS1?

Also is Mega Man Legends 2 worth $40?

what model did you get cajole?

Just some cheap beginner's racket. Only bought one because I actually have a partner to play with now. I've been meaning to get into tennis for a while. Too bad she doesn't know what she's doing either. We'll probably take some local town lesson thingy together.

I hate this new system on eBay where you post a maximum bid instead of just the bid you want then. I got all worried that I'd lose I set my max bid to $75. Right now it's at $61, I'm hoping it doesn't escalate any further. I could walk away with Einhander and SOTN for $65 shipped, and that ain't bad. It's the price of a new game for two of my favorite classics in great condition.

I would probably pay $65 for an HD, remastered Einhander right now. XBLA, SQUARE, DO IT!

Raban, have you considered buying a PS3? You can get both of those games for like $10 a piece off of PSN. $75 is almost a third of the PS3 price!

But if you want to buy some PSX games, hit me up with a PM and let me know what you are looking for. I have some titles I still need to sell.

Sorry, gotta clarify-- Japanese PSN. But it's easy enough to make a Japanese account to purchase it. 700 Yen IIRC.

EDIT: Just checked...600 Yen! There are a shit-ton of PSOne games on J-PSN. 22 shooters alone. They also recently started offering PC-Engine games.

It's a snap. And if you don't have a credit card that it will accept, just go to pretty much any conbini and purchase a PSN code there. You can get them in 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000, and 10,000 yen increments, IIRC.

That's not how you bid on Ebay. You wait until the last minute, place a maximum bid, and then be prepared to place one more bid in the last 10 seconds. If you have a set strict highest bid, you just make your first bid in the last 10 seconds. Bidding ahead of time isn't good for anyone other than the seller.

Didn't you see my thread asking what I should get between a PS3/a budget PC/a Wii? Yes I've considered it, but it's kind of left my mind. And IIRC making a JPN account was a complete pain in the ass, and I'd rather have the game in english w/manual and such. I'm not going to mind it if I get my ass outbid at the last second, I'm kind of hoping, but part of why the cost is alright is because it's a complete game, not just the disc or some stupid shit.

I dunno, we're gonna find out in...Three hours and change. Also PM me a list of your PSX games.

The pack is called Feral Creations and is a collabo with LeftFoot (Malaysia) and Mita Sneakers (Japan). It released on 9/9/9. The "Lion" and "Mouse" styles are limited to 660 pairs worldwide so those are probably gone already. The "Crow" and "Peacock" (which is the one I have) are not as limited and should be gettable in a good sneaker store near you.

Its not Squares fault Asian males look like that until they hit 30. I thought Square was fagging it out too, until I went to Asia.

Sure there are some tough looking Asian males, but most of them are skinny and small. And all the ones that "are good looking" look really feminine.

I don't mind the designs so much, it's more the whiny thing that I'm not so keen on.

Still, I'm pretty pumped for TLR all things considered.

Yeah, they were something else, back in the day. Those Jedi games were awesome, but they never really managed to transition to consoles. When they had several IP making a comeback at one E3 (2005? 2006?) and then announced them as canceled 3 or 4 weeks later, it was clear that the house was in disarray. I suspect Sith.

It's still going to cost you time, and it's not a very good game. The first one was pretty tight, but the linearity in 2 is entirely transparent, and the story doesn't hold up well at all, thanks to clichés and mediocre voice acting.

Did they ever get playbalanced? I'm taking it from your current-player reaction that they are still unbalanced as hell.

There's players here you just gotta be near a city I guess. There are hobby clubs all over.

Edit: are you in the US?

Yeah Necrons are brutal, they need a new codex (like every race except SM). That stupid we'll be back rule is so gay, along with REGULAR TROOPS being able to get a glancing shot on a roll of a 6. smh. IG just got a new codex along with space wolves (coming out this month). Blood Angels are getting a new one soon along with Tyranids in january. Then I think maybe necrons and/or dark eldar. Oh, Orks just had a new codex come out about a month ago. So I guess Tau, Eldar, Daemonhunters and Chaos need one now. If they could all be updated for 5th edition and balanced that'd be killer.

Yep, Japan. There may be clubs and stuff in Tokyo or Kobe, but not near where I am in south Osaka. Anyway, I sold my figures before moving here 8 years ago, only keeping a couple which a friend had painted for me. Even now whenever I'm stateside, I'm drawn to the GW shops, despite the annoying, almost "groping" approach most of the store staff seem to make on anyone who seems interested.
