    Indeed, however not all consoles did get bundled with the game as there were consoles that had Street Fighter 2, Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Starfox, FIFA Soccer and even stand alone machine, this is why a factory sealed stand alone version is quite rare.

    You should have looked at the warning signs, a seller with 8 copies of a really rare game at a very cheap price, a seller that has a lot of negative and neutral feedback for poor customer service and sending the wrong things, used games for new, etc. If you had bought one copy then I would have felt sorry for you but buying all of them sounds like you were planning to sell them for profit so I find it quite amusing instead.

    The image used on that auction has someone else's watermark... That's why you got screwed.

    It's the classics version too, was that ever bundled?
    Regardless the price has plummeted from the £800+ I saw the other day.
    I will keep tabs on this though..just about the only SNES game I own is a sealed SMW Pal Classics haha!

    @ Jamtex - harsh but agreed haha.

    I got a Genesis controller recently claimed to be working but was DOA. I got free shipping on a PS1 slim with screen. Paid $70 for it in return for changing the feedback I left on controller to positive. Gonna most likely sell the PS1 and keep the screen for personal projects since they use RGB.

    You see, some people are stupid. Even a Slim PS2 with aftermarket LCD screen went for $200... Huh?

    OK, now this isn't a high-priced type of shame, I just thought it was funny...
    (well, at least the listing is titled correctly I suppose)...

    I'm pretty sure it's a Quickshot. I still have my Amiga one here somewhere.

    Also, I don't know if it makes it funnier, but it looks like a PC joystick too (you can just see the 15-pin connector on the left. The joystick has analog trim pots! lol)

    I wonder what it would be like to play COD on that thing. :biggrin-new:
