Neat item, eh? I had hoped to win it.

Did you see the original BIN price of $300!! What was that seller thinking?

[vealchop]

oh man that was you? sorry dude. I just bid like $20 before I went to bed figuring it was going to go like over $50 and I would have lost. Much to my surprise I check my email this morning and I won it for 7.50. Crazy. I've seen it go for $75 bucks before. I'll give everyone a complete rundown of whats on it though and if its really good. I know the "Game King" competition is on YouTube.

Yeah, I was closely watching that aswell, but decided against it at the last minute, take screenshots when you get it, vealchop!

For that price it's a nice get I think. Congrats on that.
I saw the DVD when I was in Japan, but I didn't buy it because it was too expensive. I rather bought about 20 games for the same price. 

Please do a review and tell us how it is.
If it's really good, I might still get it next time in Japan. (The amazon reviews aren't that good though)

[Doc]

Yeah, I'm a little interested aswell. A review would be great!

Now that you've had time to view it...was the purchase worth it?

[vealchop]

For the price I got it for (around 20 bucks with shipping) its a fun video. I dunno if I'd pay the retail price of 5,800 yen for this though. If I understood japanese it would be a lot better. Although the game king section is a lot of fun and so is the "famicom house" part that shows a lot of rare accessories. Theres a commercial for the famicom "robot" (AKA R.O.B. in the states) that I've never seen before that features a futuristic police chase that super cheesy and 80's hahaha! They also countdown the top 100 famicom games as rated by Famitsu by show some gameplay of each, although I havent gotten through all of it because its close to a 2 hour segment!

[Doc]

I have a ROB commercial about aerobics...talk about weird. Will be up soon.

Speaking of Famicom DVD's...

Damn you, JL. You always post what I'm trying to hide!

[Doc]

Damn you, JL. You always post what I'm trying to hide!

I want it too!

yeah you guys should snag these up when they're this cheap, like veal chops, in Japan they'll usually always sell for at least  $25.  Retail is like $40 so they sell for that much easily as well.

[vealchop]

featherplukin, have you seen the DVD? can you fill me in on what the whole famicom house part was all about?

[featherplucknfilms]

Sorry, never seen it.  Those DVD's are too expensive for me in Japan!
