The 50/60Hz mod on the PAL model 2 consoles in not 'that' difficult and having to mod a PAL one outweight the cost of shipped a NTSC unit from Japan I reckon.

Ah I knew it was one of the that was easier to mod.:p
I got my jp Saturn from Europe for a nice price so I didn't even think of postage costs from Japan.

I've a quick query for the Retroists that have bought from Japan in the past,
and got a tracking number for Japan post.

Does anyone know which countries the package will go through in between japan and Ireland?

And if I can track the package using these countries postal service website?

(Outside of Japan post and An Post obviously.)

I'm thinking it will arrive in a central location in europe, probably Germany, or at the else in the UK first.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Most of the stuff I've bought has landed in France at some point, due to there usually being a stamp in French on the package. I'd imagine if you put in the tracking number on the Japan post website it'll tell you where it is, no?

Indeed, try the track and trace here.

I was talking about tracking it on websites outside of An Post and Japan post though.

I think ye must have read my post wrong.

Will Japan post show it arrived in France do ye think, or would I have to check it on the French Post site?

I think it should track it all the way, including different countries...unless/until the tracking number changes. That happened me before, I never knew it could happen or even why but it landed at my door with a completely different tracking number than started out.

On a semi-related net, it's worth checking package tracking from the USA. My copies of Game Center CX and Raiden Fighters Aces were sent from the USA to Ireland via Sweden! :eek:

Doge

Cheers. Via Sweden is funny sounding alright Pyongy!

Maybe they were pining for the fjords or something?

Pyongyang

Lord knows, I have no idea why it was sent via Sweden. That said, maybe because it hit Sweden first I didn't collared for it.

Got stacks of DSLR and CD albums this week. Bit more DSLR stuff to come over the next week or so, but gaming wise I'm tapped out now. My capital is thus tied up for a private offshore investment initiative in Japan 3 weeks exactly from today.

Actually, this exact time in 3 weeks I'll be somewhere in the air over Belgium perhaps.

eh!? so you think you have to check it on the postage website of the countries it may land in? hah! you mad!

the point of origin is where you track it from. the whole way.

when it reaches ireland, check the anpost website to see where it is in the country.

Thats what I would normally do alright.

Once the tracking info comes up on An Post's site I don't I've ever went back to the original post site!

So youre right on all the info appearing on the first post site I'd say.

Now with courier, I would just use the one site obviously.

Thanks guys for the advice. Think I might go with the pal model2 and get modded.

o1s1n

I've a spare PAL version 1 console knocking about that I've been trying to find a home for if you're interested in going for that model.

Be hard to get a mod chip for it, but you'd still be able to fit a 60hz switch easily enough.

The feckers have cancelled my order due to "Stock issues". has this happened to anyone else?

Technically we have a contract and they have to fulfill it but I don't know that there is any point in pursuing it. Any thoughts?

Most others it seems yeah.

Regards the contract, unlikely, they'll wriggle out of it somehow as they always seem to. First & last time I'll use Gamestop for anything

Now that is annoying, he got it for a great price.

CiDeRmAn

That's an incredible price.
The system is great, with true arcade conversions available in an era that most people had a 2600, with p1ss poor conversions the name of the game, 2600 Pacman or Galaxians anyone?

Didn't actually know they were that good! Never really looked into them.

I think Good Ole Gill implanted a negative impression in my brain of the brand, when he tried to flog a few coleco's to Skinner!

Looks very similar to a PET :pac:

Donkey Kong on the Coleco, not that long after it's arcade release really but looking right on the money...
