The gamestop here puts the stickers on the wax paper under the plastic so they come right out. Might mention that to the tards that did that. It is possible to take the sticker off the paper just have to peal the bitch real slow.
But that sticky film...it'll remain on the package until the end of time.

I also found that blowing on the sticky stuff as you peel it off helps it come off easier.

Where'd you pick it up and how ya liking it? I'm in the same boat you were in a week ago--thinking about picking up a new monitor and ps3 for gta.

I got it from ebuyer.co.uk. Its pretty nice, the speakers are piss poor but other than that I don't really have any complaints.

Awesome Comix Zone CD :lol

Is Bomberman Fight!! actually good? I was really hoping it would get released back when SEGA Saturn Magazine was looking at it, but it never came out here. Looked awesome.
I haven't played much of it yet, but it's quite good if quite a bit different from your usual Bomberman (isometric, jumping, hills etc), and the character graphics can be a little hard to make out at times, but I'm liking what I've seen so far. Not in the same league as Saturn Bomberman by a long stretch (but then again, what is?) but you can pick it up really cheap now, I got mine for about £5.

Little dot mkiii tube amp. Just removed denon amp and polk speakers which hadnt been used for a month, hence the jumble of cables.

Poor little jvc su-dh1 had to move onto the floor to the left till I get longer cables over to my chair/bass shaker.
Also like to add that anyone with the hd595s best get an amp of some sort for them. Makes quite a difference.

Am I the only that hates those putrid yellow stickers Gamestop decided look better on the paper cover instead of the plastic. I can't stand this practice.

I hate them as well...i'll be peeling them off (carefully) soon.

I've never had a problem peeling off any stickers from GameStop/EB merchandise. The stickers are always on the outer plastic, and ever actually on the cover itself. It it leaves any sticky residue, I just apply a little Goo-Gone and it cleans right up.

Apply packing tape and remove briskly at a 45 degree angle. Much better than smelling like Goo-Be-Gone for the rest of the day. =)

you'll ruin the cover. I did.

Use a blow drier (set it to med/high) on it for about 15 seconds then peel it off. It heats up the glue and it should come off much easier. If anything is left on there just repeat the process and carefully scrape it away with your fingernail.
 
All the ones by me changed their stickers last year and actually come off easier on the paper than they do on the plastic outside now. I've never had a problem with the ones on the paper.

Got it for a stupidly low price. Not sure whether to sell it on for a profit or keep it. Currently using a Canon G7. Could do with a better camera, but is it really necessary? If the camera was smaller I would have had no qualms.

I know its out on XBLA but I don't have a 360 (yet?) and 480p via Wii isn't so bad.

Right now I think I'm the first to post I have Okami on the Wii! :D Also, Crush deserves your love.

Of course we have good literature to top it off

id definately keep it. If you already feel you could use a better one its best to keep it, its really really nice, i got a Sony A100 and wouldnt want another one after using a DSLR. Keep your old one for simple pics and the DSLR for high quality pics, in example pics of your girlfriend :p

I got GT5 Prologue and Logitech Driving Force EX as a birthday present from my friends. The picture was taken with the worst (built-in mobile phone) camera ever.

I didn't see the PS1 version anywhere I looked, actually.

And currently, I don't have a way to play either Saturn or PS2 imports :lol :lol but I will be remedying that soon too.
