Mindfield #3 Posted May 18, 2004 Wow ... that's some freaky hardware. Looks like a Samurai battle suit. Takes a 220V power supply, so it's probably from Hong Kong (and thus is also PAL.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mindfield #4 Posted May 18, 2004 Correction: Just saw the description. It says it's SECAM. I thought that was only in France? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pongbeat #5 Posted May 18, 2004 Correction: Just saw the description. It says it's SECAM. I thought that was only in France? No you can find Secam in France, in some middle east european countries and some African country.... But for this one i think it was more a mistake...it must be Pal unless it was only made for African or middle east market! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Susuwatari #6 Posted May 18, 2004 But the seller is in Canada. The letterings on the console looks Chinese or Japanese so it may not be SECAM. The seller may not know what SECAM is and selected the format at random, didn't select the right format and didn't double-check, or it may be SECAM after all.

Mindfield #7 Posted May 18, 2004 Somehow I doubt either Africa or the Middle East have a penchant for oriental design -- other than their common affinity for gold lamaise. I'd bet it's Hong Kong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brad2600 #8 Posted May 19, 2004 Ever see anything like this ? (not mine)Its one odd looking Famicom Clone... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...8106402424&rd=1 I've seen several Famicom clones but nothing like this one. Looks kinda weird! I'm betting Hong Kong as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Draikar #9 Posted May 21, 2004 I think ebay pulled the item off... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mindfield #10 Posted May 21, 2004 Typical. If it smells the least bit illegitemate, off it goes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stingray #11 Posted May 21, 2004 Yeah it's gone now. Anyone save the picture before it was pulled? I'd like to see it. -S Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Susuwatari #12 Posted May 21, 2004 Unfortunately it's gone from my history. If anyone has been to that page before and hasn't seen the invalid page yet, use offline mode in browser first. It'll have a better chance of getting the cached image. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
