May I ask where you got it from at that price? The Japanese copies seem stupidly expensive for some reason.

Victory Road :) Beautiful. My local arcade when I was growing up had that game, might look into getting this myself for some Victory Road on the go....You can't argue with a sci-fi version of Ikari Warriors!

The following turned up today from an Ebay Purchase

Rogue Galaxy
Final Fantasy X
Manhunt

Got it in a bundle and wanted it just for Rogue Galaxy. When an item says good condition i wouldnt expect heavy water damage to the game manuals & sleeves, scratched to buggery discs and broken cases. I did only pay a tenner (starting bid) but even still, if i buy a game i really want, i want it to be in good nik. But i cant justify buying it again. The manual to RG literally has RUST on the staples!

Picked this up in cash conveters earlier, hardly a bargain at £60 but I've been after one for a while, and its close to mint, and how often do you see a mint DS lite?

None left :( Oh well, thanks for the link anyway. Can't believe this game is so expensive elsewhere though! Would have thought more copies had been released in Japan. I think we get spoiled with dirt cheap PSP games over here!

Pickups of the year so far. All shmups.
A few of the Indie PC titles like Bike Banditz, Crimzon Clover & Trouble Witches are getting pretty hard to impossible to find. Retro force is rarish PAL exclusive and doesn't appear all that often. Shame it's a bag of censored really.
Radirgy Noa on the Wii was limited print so is getting harder to find.
NES carts are all US versions.
