Yeah I'm up at about 50 XBox 360 games now - there aren't too many that are upwards of a tenner.

It is indeed a great time to be picking up 360 and PS3 bargains. You can often get tremendous bang for your buck with these machines right now!

I sold my 360 with about 28 games for £90 so yeah if you want one better do it now, especially as Xbox One compatibility sees prices go up whenever it is announced and it's possible the same thing might happen with PS5 if Sony get their gooseberry fool together regarding backwards compatibility (although honestly I'm not sure there's that many games from either era I would care that much about replaying, personally, as everything new is basically better).

"It should be common sense to just accept the message Nintendo are sending out through their actions."

Indeed. Games such as the MGS HD Collection are a tad more, but I've no doubt several years from now they'll cost a lot more.

£37.99 to 50p :lol:

I never leave price stickers on games unless they're an absolute steal and i want to mock the seller in my mind after the fact :shifty:

I actually mostly give the game cases a good clean and take all the stickers off but sometimes I like to photo them when they have the stickers on them from games shops that no longer exist, also had a few people recently say I cant have paid what I have for some stuff so thought for once id show it... most likely next thing I post will be sticker free.

One of the things I like most about retro gaming is the thrill of the chase and looking for stuff cheap, which is why I usually mention what I have paid.

What’s this eBay listing all about: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 3492938293

“Brand new and factory sealed Resident Evil 1.5 for Playstation 1”

But the game was never released?

I wouldn't be surprised if it's the game equivalent of this:

US directors cut perhaps? The RE directors cut came with an RE2 demo as shown in the pic for this RE 1.5

Looking at the blurb on the back it mentions Leon and Elza:

It's likely a reproduction of one of the builds you can get online.

Yeah there's a bunch of versions floating about online, there's kind of 2 main ones, one has capcom and only capcom programming in it, it's not greatly playable and has things like slightly altered player sprites used for NPC's and then there's a version which has had a lot of things repaired and altered to try and flesh it out and make it in to a more playable game.

Lots of people will put things like this on disc or cart and sell them without fully disclosing what they are. I have nothing against people having something like this in there collection but with disc stuff in particular I'd just make your own.

I seen that the My Nintendo site had a discount on Game and Watch Gallery 3 on the GBC. Jumped on it. I remember the game being weirdly good.

... :o . Oh, man, that sounds awesome! It would be amazing if you were able to share a few pics of the setup in a future Weekender, Skarjo!
