    How big a bitch? I have a friend who will be visiting China for a few weeks in a few weeks. Basically he's offered to buy me whatever video game crap I may want, he has just said, "Give me a list."

    What's the video game market like over there? Is it all Famiclones and pirate stuff, or would one be able to find other, original Japanese stuff (I'm on a real PC Engine kick right now)?
