Pantsu Man! Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I just want to highlight that GTA Chinatown Wars is still 9.99 on play.com. If you just want to make some profit I can tell you I got 14 quid trade in at Gamestation for it. A small 4 pound profit but a profit none the less.

flameboy Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Sega Mega Drive Console With 15 Games £19.99 at Play.com Link Those things aren't meant to be too good for playing other games with a number of compatibility issues. good value for the games that come with it mind. Check out this review from play.com; First impressions were great. A brand new and very cute little Mega Drive that not only has a bunch of built-in games, but also accepts old Mega Drive cartridges. It comes with two six button control pads, it's region-free, and it even has a little PAL - NTSC switch on the back to play imported games at the correct speed. One would think the only minor niggle would be the composite output (which itself is better than the RF most of us had to make do with back when the Mega Drive was king). In any case, it's a decent enough image for these games (too clear and you'd see all the massive pixels), and definitely an improvement over RF, if that's what you used to use. Of note is that stereo sound is not possible on this unit. It only outputs a single channel down the white (left) audio cable.So far, so good, then. As soon as you get it home and open it, you realize it's all a bit 'too good to be true'. This product has that awfully cheap, plastic-y feel of extremely shoddily-manufactured rubbish from some random factory in China. The console is lighter than my wallet. Feels hollow. Just by changing the orientation of the control pad, the buttons clatter about unbelievably. The pads are also quite tiny. Not the size of the genuine articles. They're about the size of your average mobile phone, give or take. Like scale models of the original pads. Now, these are all significant downsides, but we haven't even gone into playing it. Upon turning it on, I realized that what we have here is NOT a Mega Drive, but in fact an emulator in disguise. This would be OK if we were running our emulator on a modern PC, but we're not. I tried putting a couple of old carts in it. Sonic seemed to work fine, and Micro Machines *played* fine, but the sound was glitching all over the place. As mentioned by others, the built-in games play at the wrong speed. I think this is because the built-in games are the NTSC versions, but they will only output in PAL (for some reason, the switch on the back of the unit does nothing), causing the games to run 17% slower than they should. Since a lot of games weren't optimized for PAL, our versions were 17% slower anyway. But a lot of the big blockbuster games (Sonic 2 onwards, Earthworm Jim, etc) were optimized for PAL. It's cool that Sonic & Knuckles is built-in, but it's strange playing it in what almost seems like slow-motion. Anyway, all these problems would ultimately be forgiveable if it wasn't built to such a low standard. A mate of mine has one of the original Mega Drive units (the big one). It is some 19 years old, and works now as it did when he bought it. This? It broke on me after three days. I can forgive crap controllers when the unit is compatible with the original peripherals. I can forgive the hit and miss emulation, so long as the majority of games run without any huge issues. What I can't forgive is such terrible workmanship. I know it's gotten all positive reviews so far, but I get the impression that people just open it up, scream with joy, and proceed to post a beaming review of it because they're so delighted, without spending some real time with it to get to know the pros and cons. I've had McDonalds Happy Meal toys that are sturdier than this piece of garbage. My advice is to just get a real Mega Drive. They're built to last, and one will set you back around a tenner or so. Incidentally, I think Play should have a retro section, or at least allow Play Traders to sell retro stuff. In any case - avoid this, however alluring it may be.

Ike Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Shame it doesn't work very well, I was pretty interested in buying one. I guess I'll just have to hunt down the cables for my old Mega Drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nekunando Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I'm not sure if there is a better price out there or not but the hardcore you've been waiting for (to drop in price ) is £15 in Tesco.. I felt The House of the Dead: Overkill at that price was just a little too tempting for me considering I had been contemplating it at £18.. and it goes on The Pile™ : peace: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganepark32 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Dammit. Typical. I've been wanting to get Nuts and Bolts again but as I only had a tenner left, I just spent it on a CD. Hopefully, it'll be at that price for a little while so I can pick it up in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Mag Kid for the DS, a weird japanese game with an add-on which attaches to the base of the DS and lets you control the game by moving the DS around on a table. http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-9g-49-en-70-21px.html Was $58, now $9.90 + shipping.

BlueStar Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I've ordered stuff from Play-Asia before and not been stung on it. I've ordered it along with about £20 of assorted Japanese tat (Thought I might as well buy some other stuff too seeing as I was paying for shipping), so I guess I'll find out.
