Hey Stan, If that ad actually made atarix laugh, then wasting any more of your time responding to him would be silly. Namco wasn't being "funny" in the ad....Only trying to sell games, by shock value. I have no problem with the ad, but do have a problem with it being placed in a comic that has equal chance to be read by a adult OR child. If they were only trying to reach adults, they could have listed it in Playboy.....Was it there? I also agree that it is the parents responsibility(yes, I am a father), to control the environment,and decipher right from wrong....BUT!!! Like Stan, I also believe that corporations(And marketing departments ARE run by people just like you or I!), could use better judgement in what they distribute, as I CAN NOT follow my daughter around 24 hours a day. Once again, I'm not trying to take away their freedom to advertize. I just hope that along with their freedoms, they won't compromise the values of right or wrong that I teach my child!

But it is a great port of the actual arcade Raiden, whether or not you like the game is only opinion.

Don't some video stores sell the games if you ask???? Try it, you never know!

Guys, it is fairly rare. It usually goes for 40-65 usd in great shape on Ebay. There was a very low production run on this, as it was a near launch title, and Sony did not want promotion of any game that was not 3-d.

WOW! Just saw this, you'd really have to be desperate for this item to pay that shipping price...... It may sure enough be a legitimate price, as it's coming from Japan,............But, no Japanes purchase for me thanks! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=1385403875

Track and field is my current addiction!!!

ahh Callipygous, Exactly right!!!!!

I agree with Tom. My family are active participants in the Shriners and by default, the Masons. If you present your case to the Shriners, they will respond quickly and with your best alternatives. They have been doing the Shriner Children hospitals for longer than most of us have been alive!!!! My wife and I make a meager donation to them every year, and always attend the circus' they put on with the money going to the childrens hospitals. Best Regards, Julian Scott PS Inky, have your friend seriously look into this. It is a much better option than using Ebay for unintended purposes, and most people are truly willing to help a guaranteed organization, before putting their faith into an unknown individual.

I agree with Phil, as that would be a lot more 5200 carts than I have!

It's wrong , because it's theft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!stealing, taking something that's not your's...etc.....Meybe i'll sell his car....without him agreeing.........THEIF!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any body else notice that 8 bit cart prices seem to be dramatically rising on Ebay in the last while? I'm seeing carts as common as pacman go for as much as 10USD while slightly less common carts are going for 15-20(I think I saw joust go for 18usd). Holy crow, I just saw Zaxxon go for 52.00usd and not even a month and a half ago, I got it in a lot of 18 carts for 40usd!!!! Wow, people are making some $$ right now!!!!!

Hey Phil, we can both have a laugh over the xe sale.......How much is shipping?????Can you find it!!I can't!!!!!!LOL

Check this one out. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=1383128401 What do you think?

I think people are probably quite afraid of our litte discussion!!!! Anyway Phil, take care of your family, spend time with them and remember, usually a few bad turns bring a much more pleasant future... You are right perhaps, about my phrasing, but perhaps what I meant was that in a consumer market, customers do not buy something and worry if the seller is going to make out alright! And some of the comments made by sellers seem to show that they would like the customer to understand and care about these things! Again, no offense to any seller peresonally, more of a stereotypical view about some of the bad sellers! As you are an Ebay seller, and I am mainly a buyer, we may never see eye to eye on some of these issues. But perhaps Ebay on the whole, would be better if buyers and sellers had a more CONSISTENT playing field...This goes both ways, I also think non paying bidders should be kicked off, And there should be some sort of mediation provided by Ebay over feedback comments...Heaven knows,they could afford it. Although there may be legal implications involved. If sellers hand a sort of maximum handling charge,you would see me complain less...Not NO handling charge, but a percentage increase they may charge over the actual shipping dollars. Would that be fair......Sometimes shipping is not listed in the auction,and the seller fails to respond to emails before the auction end(he may be busy whatever), now it would probably be great for both buyer and seller,that I could still bid,knowing that even if I win, my shipping could be say, only 25% more than actual USPS rates or whatever!(A set shipper would have to be used I guess and i'm sure that would create even more arguements ) I dont think honest sellers could have a problem with that, as most sellers tell me that they are there to profit on their product NOT the shipping! Any way Phil Take care of yourself, and your family!!! Best Regards, Julian Scott Hope ya don't block me from your auctions

As proof that I don't hate sellers Phil, you should check out a post I made around a week or two(I think!)ago, about one of our sellers in the marketplace. It was regarding Tom Young, who is an atariage member under TomYou. He made a post regarding some of his new auctions up, and I made a post recommending him as a great seller.....I probably would not have done that if I hated all sellers. Ps he is great, and always has a pile of good 2600 games up for auction with very reasonable shipping, and good quality product...Not to mention great customer service!!!!.....And no, I do not know him personally at all..... I can not change post dates, so if you read that post you will realize what I meant.....But I still do not worry about Toms' margins or what not,as he is a big boy who seems to handle all expenses and costs without either complaining about them to a customer, nor by passing off in his "handling"!
