Thought so too nat, but unfortunately it isn't a mistake (beside the fact that the whole site is one big mistake).

also the site isn't kind of a 1990 internet relict, it was created in 2003 and last updated in December 2010.

$280 for Blue Blink? I like that game but...I think even sealed $28 would be pushing it.

I thought at first they must have used the $ sign by accident, but their AES prices seem somewhat normal. Laserdisc is a little high, but there was a time not that long ago when the stuff was worth that much.

If the AES prices would be in JPY, those all would have been bought in no time.

Has anyone contacted these misguided souls??? They surely can't be making any money, except from rich idiots who don't know any better.


Geez! <<<shakes head>>>

No need for that. I really don't think they have just sold even one copy in the past 8 years (since they existing).

And even if they did, we should then more blame the buyer for his infinite high level of pure dumbness.

did you guys look at how to actually order stuff off that website? you have to fill out a form and e-mail it to them then *if* they accept your order they will contact you back blah blah blah I think amazon in 1994 had a easier ordering system hehe

WELL, we should submit an order for, say 3-4 games and see what happens. Seriously.

Lol, this turns out to be even more difficult to reach these games now. So it's not just a matter of the big money  anymore, it also have to be kind of good enough money :lol:

And to think, I hesitated when I bought Blue Blink for ¥280 the other day. I glad that I bought it because It's a good game, but now I see that I got an absolute steal! :D
