I'm going to make these fuckers price-match for the Gamecube, and I'm getting Steel Battalion for $6. I will make sure of this.
OK, a couple of things come to mind.

First, don't you have copies of your own timesheets? If not, <b>why the fuck not?</b> This company is screwing you, you need to be creating an evidence trail.

Second: price-matching is hardly <b><i>REVENGE</i></b>. Revenge would be: stealing about half the store's stock, dousing the rest in gasoline, setting a match to it, infecting your manager's partner (probably his poodle) with syphilis, taking a big steaming dump on his pillow, and breaking all his grandmother's bones.

I thought even the USB ones were standard GBA sized carts.. yeah the flash unit is bigger...
And why the hell would they add tax for a US sale? I have the final order page and it's 104.99 euros. They want me to send a money order so there's no way they can raise the price.

Whats the deal with this GP32

This is the normal size of a GBA cart, right?

I hear you came across a shit load of games for the GBA. I am still contemplating getting a flasher, but in the meantime thought we could discuss an exchange for games. I have a ton of Dreamcast games I could give you as well.

Robb and I were talking how cool it would be to set something up like an FTP or something. I would really like to get those off you and then decide if I should get the flasher.

Did you get one yet? If so from who? I am sure you found the cheapest and I dont want to spend a lot:) Which one did you get?

Post some good sites you found in your search :)

Thanks man!!!!!!!!

I am getting the wise box and then going to sell all my games on ebay. I like the functionality of this better than the rest as I can just do a cart to cart copy as well. Sounds like the best option for me.

I am going to look for ROMS tonight on direct connect and see what I can find. In the meantime, Jack Straw hook a young, male, 6'1" brotha up!!!!!!!!!



Kbye,

I haven't found a flasher yet. Honestly the only place I've found with the 256 real deal (Flash2Advance) is HK toys. Looking for ANYONE else...

Still downloading the ROMS, they're still being posted. I see no reason why I won't have a full set before long. I also have a DVD burner so that may be the way to go. I've tried to set up an FTP about 50 times and it never works.

If this msg is scattered it's because I'm at work on the phone...

Cool

I have a DVD burner as well so maybe an exchange could work :)

I am going to see what I can find tonight on direct connect, but I would rather just do a swap via mail and then I can get them to Sherwin as well.

Let me know what you think :)

Not good on Direct Connect

Nothing out there. Where are you getting these babies?

I would be totally down for an exchange or something. I am a Netflix member as well and would be more than happy to get you a movie you want or a DVD full of sega dreamcast games in exchange.

Lets make this happen like miracles or shit in some cases :)

Let me know what works for you. Hope I this is not an inconvenience, but I am sick of spending money on games for the GBA :)

Kbye,

We'll figure it out when I see just how many ROMS there are.. right now it's over 2 gigs.. if it's under a DVD that would probably be the best way, if not we can figure something else out. No one shall buy GBA games ANYMORE!!!

(I did pick up a platinum SP yesterday @ target w/free Driver 2. Decent game but YOU CANT RUN ANYONE OVER. Argh)

is $125.71 if you pay with Paypal, $145.71 other methods. Either way it's cheaper than Hong Kong Krooks. Kind of sketchy though.. what's the discount for?

YESS!! DCSLinks.com is $110 with no sketchiness. I think we have a winnar! They also have the headphone adaptors for 5 bucks. I know someone who ordered from there and it's straiiight...

So that's the most compatible 256 kit and a headphone adaptor to your door for $128. Not too shabby...
