    at least the board looks legit, not like one of those "let's slam some stickers on a retail pcb and sell it on ebay as proto" kind of auctions.

    The picture looks real to me. If a fake its very good. 0 feedback is always tricky though

    Have got 20 or so issues of Retro Gamer magazine on the bay, mostly issues 30-50, the collection #1 and the rare RG anthology special. Some issues have coverage of unreleased games eg Hotel Mario, and shmups, eg radiant silvergun, mars matrix, souky a 'Making of Border Down' etc, so they might be interesting to some here.

    Also got a boxed NTSC J PS2, Thunderforce 6 and a few other things:

    The PS2 is modded, but PAL games take a couple of resets for them to work sometimes. JP and US games work fine though. Would have put that on the item description, but know how they'd end the auction in a flash if I did.

    Call me a noob if you want, but what purpose does a devkit serve in modding halo 3? You can't play on Live with a devkit and you have to hack the game to even run on the devkit. Mod the game files and play them as a backup? regardless of what your do your gonna get banned.

    The M2 prototype Iron Blood, which was discussed on this board too but if I remember correctly this was unplayable without a mod, so why does this seller state it's playable on any M2 system out there? and is it the real thing or just a newly burned cd of and ISO?

    Ah here we go: http://www.assemblergames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22981&highlight=Iron+Blood

    Only one known copy and unplayable as stated so is this the same one Assembler was talking about?

    Quote Ebay seller: Up for auction is an early prototype of the game "Ironblood". Build date is October 17, 1996, which is to my knowledge the earliest build in existence. It's fully playable and requires a production FZ-21S1, FZ-35S, or a dev kit (rev. G or later) with SDK 3.1 to run.

    The pictures have popped up in other auctions because its been up twice for offers before, ended and relisted. New users come and bid, how is three new users odd? I can tell you it wasn't shill bidding (I'm assuming that's what you ment by the multiple 0 feedback users).

    Test Kits really aren't that great...
