Oh I really like this seller. Very professional. I got from him some games and two bundles.

CosmicSmash

They offer great combination shipping and they let you keep stuff for two weeks without having to contact them. You can pick up some nice reasonably priced games in two weeks off that seller, just avoid items with a lot of bids. I have seen a lot of people pay over the odds for games in auction format. If you buy something heavy you normally only get charged a couple of dollars extra postage for five of six games when bundled together. They're very understanding on declarations too;)

Not a bad price for a modded MD (console only)

£26.50 plus €3.50 parcel motel.

TechnoFreek

Not so much a bargain but more bloody extortion, 10 100 yen coins for 15 sterling posted over on j+.

Yen usually go very fast on the forums so to see it still there several hours later says a lot.

I would say some sort of decontamination is a pre-requisite prior to use!
You wouldn't know what body parts or fluids were in contact with that one!

Select Xtra Vision stores knocking a ton off the price of hardware. Brand new Vita's for €149.99 etc. It's a really good price, & with the PS4/mandatory remote play on the horizon, coupled with the free games from PS+ ....there's kinda a reason starting to form to buy one

What's the mandatory lark about? Isn't that only if you want to play your PS4 games while sitting on the crapper - you need the Vita?

Does the Vita (always reminds me of a health cracker) come with a PS+ sub do you know?

The Last Bandit

There is a new Vita on the way out soon so they're off loading the old stock before the new model hits the streets.

Also, rumors of a PS4/Vita bundle being released as well which is supposed to have about $100 off the combined price - not sure if bundle pricing will make it to EU though, Sony UK were very vague when asked about it.

I think it's that all PS4 games are required to support it, whether you want to use it or not

Negative, but your PS+ account will count on your PS3, PS4, & Vita so for €50 a year it's actually incredible value.

Heard that about the combined bundle too, but at €100 off the price, the Xtra Vision deal still trumps it.

Selected stores is all I can gather. My local arn't involved {because that'd be too easy}, so the manager gave me the number for head office. Rang there, & was told Clondalkin was part of the stores involved, drive there, "No, we're not involved"...the chap there in Clondalkin {sound lad actually} rang head office to clarify & confirmed they wern't part of it. Closest then was Blanch {no stock of Vita's}, & Finglas...which had three or so left at the time

A certain Category Mod may have picked one up aswell, for a certain 10 year old, for a certain holiday season, to accompany a certain next gen console. Certain kids can certainly be lucky these days, certainly.

Ridiculously tempted to get one, but I'll abstain.
Perhaps when I've more living/storage space, and have a PS4 to accompany it? Perhaps.

Nice one. Don't suppose they come with a memory card? They were mad expensive I think, although didn't retr0 get a dodgy Chinese one from the bay iirc.

Wii U is sitting proud & dusty already in the Games room No chance of an Xbox One at this stage, not a hope for €500. I will get one eventually, but for me Sony make the more appealing package at the mo for next gen.

Unfortunately not, it's the one thing that bumps the price. There's no dodgy ones on the market to my knowledge, as its a format that hasn't been cracked, but Retr0 did get a good deal on one now that you mention it

True that But would I get a Vita without a PS+ account? Prob not, it really does make it that much more desireable when Sony are throwing free games at you every month. And then, remote play PS4 via that gorgeous OLED screen? When you add those things up, the Vita is starting to warrant owning, only starting mind you

Bugger, I have to pay my car insurance instead!

I might hold out and see what package Sony are offering though on it

Tripping over handhelds? Stop leaving them on the bloody floor so...

PDBHP is a handheld collector of some renown, and is also well known for his Micra based ram raiding skills.
His storage solution is to use a large fish tackle box, kept all his handhelds in it in perfect safety!

Yep announced as Gamescom yesterday, a "significant" reduction on Vita cards which is really nice!

CiDeRmAn

Seems like they are releasing 8gb gamepacks, with download codes or similar included.
Also, the rest of the memory card range is being cut, as already mentioned.
I, for one, can't wait for the chance to own a memory card bigger than the crappy 4gb one I currently use, so I can properly take advantage the free games PSN+ keep throwing at me!

I was talking to him recently, stuff going on, plus being oil boy to the lads on Tallafornia takes its toll on a fella.

Or maybe he's doing time for ram raiding an Xtravision, who knows....

Anyone not picking this up is an idiot. I spent 60 euros on it a few years ago and that was extremely cheap. Also ignore the reviews for this game, it's superb despite the crummy combat. It gives Silent Hill 2 a run for it's money in the ****ed up storyline stakes.

I'm confused! It says it's a preorder and the game has 'Rebuild' at the end of it.

Is this some odd rerelease?

There's a company in the US that specialises in reprinting rare games. It's that crowd doing this one. They did it a few years ago with ninja 5-O and Persona 2, they didn't last very long and I missed out on them so pick it up asap!
