Phones aren't generally tied to any one carrier in Sweden, you can usually use any of them.

Nice! Where did you but the Retro Gamer? Are you in the US?

Also, if you don't mind, how much did you pay for the Sam Sho V Special kit?

I have a subscription to retro gamer; so I usually get the new issue long before news stands. there is actually a nice neo-geo MVS article in outrun issue.

the Sam Sho V special kit was new old stock; so it was pricey. i got it for 400.

Ah... cool. I haven't built up the willpower to tell my wife I want to pay $180 for a magazine subscription yet or whatever the hell it is, hence to Retro Gamer for me. They stopped carrying it at Barnes & Noble too. I really want to read that MVS article. :(

$400 for a game that's still getting play in arcades isn't too bad, especially NOS.

yeah, i know what you mean about the subscription price. i generally read the issues cover to cover though, and the presentation and large format is awesome. i stopped all my other subs for different mags, so it evens out. the B&Ns in my area still carry RG, but sometimes they will miss issues, or there is one left that has chumped corners, so i just ordered it.

yeah SSVS is a solid game, its very balanced for the amount of characters it has. i didn't mind spending the money, especially for the neo's final release.

Holy shit, do want!

Is there a way to get it without having preordered the game?

I didn't pre-order and I got those. Didn't even ask/know about those. Just ask the people at Gamestop if you want that stuff. They'll probably hook you up if they have any left over.

Update before the month's end:

the Olympic spirit took over me, but I didn't want to spend too much money, so I went for the previous olympics' videogame P Got another Ridge Racer for the collection; and my previous SNES adapter worked with american games but none of my japanese cartridges worked, so I devided to get another to see if it was the adapter or the games...

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Warcraft III
Starcraft
Diablo 2 and Lord of Destruction in the same box?

You DO know that's over 2000 hours of gameplay content, right?

Cool, I've never seen this kind of box before, reminds me of the Saturn ones; was this the first type of PSX boxes in the US?

Oh, I forgot to add to my previous post, I also got a bookshelf (in this case a dvdshelf) for my anime, now they're all nice and tidy:

Not yet... it's only been a few weeks since my last shame of the month, which wasn't too long ago anyway since I actually got it in July not the month it released.

Lots of upcoming potential though...

N+ is a game of ultimate NINJA greatness. Super oldschool/hardcore... you're a ninja with unique ninja physics, and you have to try to complete a level of obstacles. Really tough at times. Level sharing and building makes it INFINITELY REPLAYABLE! Video

Look, if you don't have pictures yourself, don't post any at all. Just wait until you have your own.

Yes. Because as the OP says three times, "No one cares to see pictures they can find on google images...."

You get that ? Nobody cares about stock photos.

It's not a freaking competition...
And the phone is obviously bought in Sweden, not the states.

And wait until you have the actual product and take nice pics of it then.

launch games came in saturn/sega cd type-boxes :

afterwards, they switched to an all-cardboard variant, briefly, (like wipeout, above), and later, we got the the kind Track & Field has, which had a plastic "frame"


where was I? right. PSN pickups of the month:
