Tight deal, thanks daphatty.

[daphatty]

Looks like I am the only one who bought one. 26 still available.

[BigHow]

I remember when I got mine a while back, they sent me a copy that was essentially new. The game was even in the shrinkwrap. I'd highly suggest getting in on this deal.

I got a NEW one as well. It was awesome.

[ElwoodCuse]

Can you trade in just a GunCon by itself? I want this game but I never see a used copy without the GunCon.

[pimp tyranny]

i still don't have a Guncon. now's my chance.

[daphatty]

Bump in case you missed this yesterday.

[Murcielago77]

Keep in mind that these guncons dont work with hdtv enabled tvs

[suprsaiyanMAX]

Really? Is there a PS2 lightgun that will?

[Murcielago77]

I have Guncon2s from Time Crisis 2 and i got an HDTV TV and they dont work with that tv but they work with every other tv

[Dustin Echoes]

Oh crap, THANK YOU for telling me. I was almost about to buy it. Dang me for always having new technology :(

[Maynard]

are you 100 percent positve they don't i though they do?

[guessed]

I do not have an HDTV, but it is my understanding that it will work with an HDTV, provided that the TV is CRT-based (either a straight CRT, or a CRT rear projection). I have a 51 inch, non-HD, CRT-based, rear projection TV, and it works with GunCon2. I have read posts from people stating that the GunCon2 works with HDTV.

[gsr]

http://www.agoraquest.com/viewtopic.php?topic=8149&forum=44

to summarize:
Hey guys... I've found a way to make the GUNCON2 work with 100hz TV's.

So far I've only be able to confirm Time Crisis 2 and Time Crisis 3.

When on the Calibration screen. Point the GUNCON2 away from the screen. Hold trigger and press the SELECT button (it's on the Left hand side of the gun, nearest the muzzle). This will put the calibration into 100hz mode and a little 100Hz message will appear on-screen to confirm this.

It's then possible to calibrate as normal.

I've done this with my Sony KX32FQ70U 100hz digital scan TV and it works perfectly!

**

i'm curious if i could get it to work on my mitsubishi ws-55511 rear projection tv...i'd be real interested in purchasing one if it actually could be confirmed that it works

How badly does EB have to fudge things up to send out new copies on orders for used versions. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great -but how the hell does this happen? :?

Well I for one did not get a new one. At least none of the product was shrink wrapped but everything looked new. One thing I am happy about is the shipping. I ordered it on Monday and it's already here (Wed.)! Same thing with the logitech wireless controller. Very happy about that! :D

[MeGaWC27]

well I just ordered one, hope i get a new one too :D hehe

[hutno]

which is better TC 2 or 3?

[pimp tyranny]

i'm gonna check it out, although i don't usually spend this much.

[BigHow]

which is better TC 2 or 3?

For one person, I like 3 better. For two people, I like 2 better. Mainly because 2 features a "double gun" mode so that two people can play on one screen. If you've got a smaller TV, the split screen becomes very annoying for two people and that's the only way to do two people in 3.

[Dok Diamond]

i might get one, but i heard they dont work on flat screens and i was gettin a new tv soon

[doraemonkerpal]

cool, i just ordered time crisis 2 and 3 (w/ guncon's) and a vampire night (all preowned) :P

[Tomeeboy]

I ordered TC 2 & 3... been wanting them for a while. Vampire Night was fun, but got old pretty fast... still fun though. To anyone considering it, stay away from Ninja Assault... that game is a joke. The TC series has always been the best in my opinion. There's a new one coming out soon which allows you to use two guns in single player mode, which would be really cool... just not sure how they'll implement the duck/cover stuff.

BTW, if you're having problems using the 25% code (for using it too many times already), clear cookies and use a different email address... worked for me. Clearing cookies may be all you need to do... didn't waste much time trying to figure it out.

[Sheik Rattle Enroll]

I concur with Ninja Assault sucking.

[MeGaWC27]

For those looking for a cheap brand new Time Crisis 3 w/ Guncon,
I found this while looking through amazon.com

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/offering/list/-/B00009XS6L/all/ref=dp_pb_a/002-9860960-2244056

Scroll down till you see the seller: kidzplay_video_games
He's selling it for $40.99, was $39.99 yesterday...
Anyway... I don't know how much the s/h will cost or if he's dependable but just posting for those who are searching for this.

[Scrubking]

Ninja assault doesn't suck.

that is tempting..for about 10 bucks more than the used copy you can get it brand new with everything guaranteed to be sealed :P

btw, for shipping rates, there's a button in every item saying "see shipping rates"

for vgames it is 3.49 for 4-14 day shipping and 5.49 for expedited

[california1967]

If you like light gun games get NINJA ASSULT, its fun i mean its not as deep as TC3 Or even Vampirenight but its a lightgun game, I love it, but i did only get it for 5 dollars!

[MeGaWC27]

yea i kno about the button but I felt lazy and didn't wanna check it :D

I would've tried this if I hadn't bought the used one from eb already which is why I posted it here for other CAGers

[MeGaWC27]

I would... but the game itself is pretty expensive isn't it? I mean if it was for 5bucks then I would get it like that but if i was paying for $20 or more for a game I think I'll want to know that I'll really like the game before buying (Cheap Ass Gamer :P )

I've been hearing that most of these light gun games are pretty short. With the functions and the graphics, I don't blame the game for being short, and most of the players are probably buying these games just to shoot something (well I am anyway :twisted: ) so we probably won't care about the length of the game unless its like 1 short stage then its over...

[guardian_owl]

I mentioned it in a different thread but I'll mention it again here:

If you have a Hastings store near you they are selling the TC3 + guncon2 combo for $39.99 new, and if is not in stock you can special order it which takes about 2 weeks.

Hastings Store Locator (http://www.gohastings.com/About/stores.asp)

Today I also picked up a used Vampire Night with guncon2 for $30 from there since I had some extra store credit and I kept missing the EBgames deal.

[california1967]

Actually ninja assult is only around 15 dollars preowned....

[MeGaWC27]

haha got mine today, after I ordered it on wed I believe :D
TC3 the game was wrapped in shrink-wrap, the gun and wires were in bags like they were never used before. The gun works fine, I'm so happy I got one like this. ty for the offer daphatty :mrgreen:

[xzafixz]

I ordered one a few months ago and everything came sealed expect the outer box, nothing was touched, i was very pleased

i just wanted to say "thank you big time" for posting this again..i had seen the hastings thread, looked at the cities and got annoyed that i didn't have one nearby

today, i looked a little closer after i saw your post and coupled with the fact that i have been in the market for a guncon, i went ahead and drove 1/2 hour to my "nearest" location..

they held tc 3 for me..i got it with the 3 game trade in..what an awesome deal

btw, the hastings offer has been extended till august 7th...might have to do a bump on the hastings thread with this mentioned.

one more thing for the people wondering about Guncon 2 and HDTV

i have a mits 55511 hdtv..the guncon works flawlessly WITHOUT the adapter that namco tells you to buy...again this is on a MITS CRT based RPTV....i have no idea about other makes/models.

[hollowfreak]

How can I get the GunCon2 to work on a s-video setup without losing the s-video's quality? All I ever see is a composite video hook-up on the gun.

[MeGaWC27]

dunno... but on the back of the TC3 box it says:
"If using S-Video cable: You need AV adaptor SCPH-10130U"
If you knew this already, I'm sorry for stating the obvious

[california1967]

When i first got my Time Crisis 3 w/ guncon 2 back in january in a trade the guy sent me the Av adaptor Schph-10130U and I always wondered why mine didnt look like my buddies (the bananna looking connector) but i realized that its the adaptor for S-video. I actually would never have even bothered to look unless hollowfreak asked...

Mine...

[Tomeeboy]

Ordered TC 2 & 3 and they already arrived today. Time Crisis 3 was brand new and sealed... NICE! :)

[suko_32]

Ordered Time Crisis 3 yesterday. I chose Eb super saver shipping or something, the cheapest shipping and today I got an e-mail saying it was shipped today. The best part is that they gave me a three day shipping!!!! It should of been "5-10 business days". I wonder if they're being nice to TC 3 buyers or something. Anyway, I'll update on the condition of the stuff when it comes, thanks OP!!

[Neo]

Thanks for the deal...I just ordered mine with the aff25 code.

[MeGaWC27]

I didn't even choose the free shipping b/c I save more by using the 25% off code and just paying a measly 2 bucks for s/h. But anyway... yeah they sent it to me within 3 days also, so I'm happy :D

[BustaUppa]

Does anyone know of a website that has a convenient list of all gun games for PS2/PS1? I'm strongly considering getting two guns, but I just want to make sure there are enough games to justify it.

I got guns for Dreamcast a while ago... and while I had a blast, I was a bit bummed to find only FOUR gun games for the system -- House of the Dead 2, Death Crimson, Confidential Mission, and Virtua Cop 2 (from Sega Smash Pack). If anyone knows of any more, please let me know! But anyway, I'd imagine there are significantly more games for Playstation, especially when you include PS1 games. But I just want to make sure. Any type of list would be extremely helpful!

[punqsux]

all US ps2 guncon games:

time crisis 2
time crisis 3
endagme
ninja assault
vampire night
dinostalker
re:dead aim
starsky and hutch

guncon 2 will not work on ps1 gun games

Thanks for the heads up! Hmm, sucks about the backward incompatibility. And I assume the GunCon 1 won't work with PS2 games, right? Are there any other guns that will work on both systems?

[punqsux]

ok guns on playstation are a fussy bunch. the guncon will only work on guncon games (i believe there were only 5 or 6 for ps) however there are many light gun games that came out prior to the guncon being around (area 51, maximum force) and those need a ps1 light gun (which is fairly hard to come by)

before you buy anything ps1 gun related do your homework. because if you dont you might end up playing it with a controller ^^

[xion]

How are the condition of the Guncon for those of you that ordered a PO one and have already received it??

[robwhit1]

I have a quick question. I got a PO guncon 2 w/ Ninja assult and RE dead aim. When I use the Guncon on the calibration screen (either game), the cross hairs seem to be jumpy. They are always moving a little even if I am sitting still. Is this normal? If not, this is something to look out for when ordering PO. In case it matters, I have a regular 36" TV.

[punqsux]

its normal

[MeGaWC27]

How are the condition of the Guncon for those of you that ordered a PO one and have already received it??

Gun looks pretty brand new to me. It was in the a bag with the wires which was neatly wrapped with (umm dont know what its called, that plastic thingy to keep wires together or bags close...). The gun shoots fine, no problems whatsoever. My TC3 game was still sealed as well.

[doraemonkerpal]

woot woot, i just opened up the box and found out that they gave me a brand new time crisis 2 and time crisis 3 :P thanks daphatty!

oh yea, they also shipped it 3 day UPS :P

[Dustin Echoes]

Does anyone know of a gun that is compatible with HDTVs? I dont have a rear-projection one, its a tube (Sony Wega KV36HS420). I tried the guncon2 and even with the "progressive mode" you can put it in at the calibration screen still causes it to jump crazy horizontally. Thanks!

[MeGaWC27]

[daphatty]

Not sure why the seem to be giving us new one but I for one am happy about it. :D

i have a rear projection hdtv..it worked out of the box on mine

let the game start up and get to the calibration screen..don't press anything

like you said you'll see "progressive scan mode" on the bottom right and on the bottom left you should see "2 point adjustment"..if you're not seeing the 2 point adjustment i don't know what to tell you

i did notice that if i tried to hold the trigger and push select at the calibration screen, it would start going crazy horizontally(would not show the 2 point adjustment message at bottom left)..best way to do it, DON'T PRESS THE TRIGGER OR ANY BUTTONS...

you should be okay at that point

[suko_32]

I use to have vampire night. It's good, not better than TC 2 in my opinion though. It's still decent. I would reccomend people buying it still. Oh, my TC 3 will come today and I hope mine will be as new as everyone else.

[suko_32]

I got mine and for I know it could be brand new! What are they doing at their headquarters?

[suko_32]

I got mine and I think it's new....! What are they doing at their headquarters? I forgot to ask if anyone ordered PO time crisis 2 and received it in like new or new condition.

[doraemonkerpal]

i received a new tc 2 :P

megawc27, i haven't tried vampire nights yet. imma start from the worst to the best (ninja assault on up, hehe).

[lain21us]

I want a new one..

[MeGaWC27]

I want a new one..

me too, at a used price of course :D

[daphatty]

I want a new one..

In case you didn't notice, these are new. Everyone reports getting a new one. The one I received was pristine!

[suko_32]

I might have to consider getting TC 2 now...

[Cornfedwb]

Finally picked one up, thanks for the deal.

Thanks dude. I couldn't find it.

[GTZ_NSR]

Price went back up to $60. :cry:

[MeGaWC27]

Price went back up to $60. :cry:

What are you talking about?!?!? umm the new one was always $60... We were talking about the PO version and how we end up getting the new versions for the price of PO, which is 45, and with the save 25% off concludes to 33.75...

*PO = PreOwned*

[robwhit1]

The new one is 60 but the PO one is 45. Use Aff25 to cut it down to about 34. Alot of people have been getting new versions when they order the PO, but the deal has always been for the PO not the new version.

[robwhit1]

Looks like you are a faster typer than me MeGaWC27. Beat me by 4 min.

Which is the better of the two games, Time Crisis 2 or 3? I actually ended up trading 10 sealed CC $5 games for a sealed copy of Time Crisis 3 and $45 cash from a small local game store. But I have yet to play it since I need that Sony AV Adaptor that they mention on the back of the Time Crisis 3 box for use with S-Video setups. If anyone knows where I can find that, it would be appreciated.

[suko_32]

Um, ebay? Actually, if you really want to know where to get one, you could always ask on GameFaqs...

Here are some places where they have the av adaptor, not sure if they're reliable. You choose which one you want to get it from.

I'm pretty sure if you use the one that was stated for the regular playstation, it would work too since the wires were the same for both systems.

As for TC2 or TC3, I only have TC3. TC3 allows you to select from 4 different guns (pistol, machine gun, shotgun, grenade launcher). TC2 allows a person to use 2 guncons in single player mode (dual pistols), so you can play with 2 players without splitscreen. I think they're both great :D
