used it to order Outrun 2 SP. Thanks!

Just used it to preorder Altered Beast. Thanks!

The difference that I've seen between composite and S-video is: eliminates dot-crawl, eliminates "rainbow" effect on scrolling white text, diagonal lines etc., more vibrant colors, more lines of resolution output compared to composite. True, it's no component video, but if you at least have...

Oh, and as a side note, there's only a few online importers I deal with (mostly for imports), and here's the ones I recommend the most: http://www.ncsx.com - EXCELLENT customer support, EXCELLENT shipping and use of shipping materials (although you'll definitely pay for it), updates almost...

Yup, a horrible company. I got double charged once on an online order and got no response from their "customer support." My bank had to resolve the issue, and that was the last time I ever dealt with them. Their shipping costs are absurdly high, they ship their games in cheap envelopes, not in...

When you complete the order, they actually check your credit card account and charge you immediately. I know this because I tried to make an order when I didn't have enough money in my account and it wouldn't go through. After I had the money my order went through just fine. Of course, you...

Just a warning for those trying to cheat the system by saying they work for a retailer, or used to work for a retailer and are still using their information on the site. Like a few people said up above, they WILL check their information to see if you're still employed there. One of my friends...

Yeah, where is that site that has the answers? I mean, I can always read the info and answer the quizzes perfectly for full points, but, you know, that takes effort :)

http://retail.microsoft.com/retail/xbox/default.asp Just fill out the required info (home address, where you work etc.) and take their stupid quizzes to get points and you're good to go.

I've been checking the retail site constantly since Tuesday, and MS still hasn't added it to the prize shop. Also strange, they took Halo 2 off of the prize shop too. Maybe they're planning to offer MA2 the same time they're going to offer Halo 2 next week? Also, they haven't said whether or...

Sorry, but I'm a collector, so I keep all the standees I can get. But if you want promo materials from a game store, here's some advice. Basically, if you see something you want, just ask the employees (it's more effective if you can talk to the manager). They can say either two things: yes or...

Panzer Dragoon Saga - Mint condition Radiant Silvergun - Mint condition Steel Battalion - First production run with green buttons Einhander - Mint Persona 2 - Mint condition, bought for $15 at a Gamestop a few weeks ago And, as a Sonic the Hedgehog freak, I have one of the Sonic Crystal Cubes...

Nintendo already has someone close to that, except he wears a green tunic and hangs around with fairies. Sounds pretty gay to me.

I'm not saying that the game can't be found anywhere, or that it's low price isn't that shocking. I'm just saying that it's a game that Microsoft and the major game stores have wiped clean from their memory (most likely at the request of MS), as though it never existed at all. And for those who...

Rent A Hero never got released, and EB Games canceled my preorder for that game long, long ago. Funnily enough, there's a used game listing for it on Gamestop.com, though it will forever be "Back Ordered." I guess the only rare version of the US Rent A Hero will be the review copies given to the...
