5 That N64 controller might be worth picking up.

That controller has a MAJOR flaw on it's 1st production run.The analogue stick rubs against the left shoulder button when it is pressed. It's been flagged, company has responded & is dedicated to a fix, but atm, I'm none the wiser as to what that looks like. Be careful.

Cheers for the tip. That seems to be a shocking oversight - you would imagine that would be detected fairly quickly on testing.

I have plenty of N64 controllers in good condition but I've always fancied the Hori remakes. This one looks more affordable. Will keep an eye on it.

I only ever bought 1 physical game on the Vita. Kind of forgot there was such a thing.

It was P4G of course.

Y'all don't know real box pain like dreamcast ebaying

The SNES boxes were a nightmare for ebay.

If you didn't grow up with of school PC game boxes, you have no fucking idea.

I once randomly got given a box for the old Virgin published Dune adventure game for PC, it had a sandworm under the insert that opened its mouth if you moved some cardboard

If we’re talking 3DS too I’d say persona q (think they lost licensing or something, as they sold it for £6 on eshop then it went off forever), maybe shin megami apocalypse, 7th dragon 3, and most recently radiant historia. I had a cancelled preorder for radiant historia, went to amazon and it was sold out (2 weeks before release) and ended up getting it preordered from grainier games.

Sigh. Shame for those that wanted it.

That’s a crazy price for a game that’s not long been released. They must’ve only printed about seven copies. Make sure y’all get your preorders in for Strange Journey Redux. Just in case.

That's ludicrous! Well I'm more bothered by getting Strange Journey since I don't have the DS original so I've pre-ordered that, good shout.

Studio.co.uk claim to have Radiant Historia in stock although are listing it as a pre-order and if you use code 073 you can knock it down to less than £30. Apparently they're a longstanding mail order company and charge you in a stupid way by invoicing you for stuff after you receive it but at least it's not like they're taking money out of your account if it turns out they never send it. I've taken a punt on it, just thought I'd drop it on here as an FYI.

Good luck!

I feel defeated, I'm used to finding rogue stock of out of print stuff. I found what I'm pretty sure was the last new copy of the manga Drops of God Volume 4 in the English speaking world once.

Boomerang also seem to think they can get some stock from somewhere. Who fuckin' knows.

Yes please!

Can I pay you in bags of sand?
