Ceti Alpha · 11/25/2010, 06:49 PM

Awesome givaway, blue!!!

I assume this is one of the fancy bootlegs, or is this teh rilly dilly Sapphire?

If it's teh rilly dilly then sign me up!

It's just another Thursday up here in Canuckistan, but I am thankful that North Korea isn't our neighbour. I'm also thankful that Danny Williams, in all his spirited heart, has managed to defend not only the interests of Newfoundland, but Nova Scotia as well. lol He has sung his swan song today for provincial politics, but I would be especially thankful if he decided to run for federal politics. Someone has to keep the world in line and it might as well be Danny Williams.

Ah. Still an awesome giveaway. I just already have one of the bootlegs, so I don't want to deprive someone of teh goodness that is Sapphire.

Wow. congrats to obfuscate! Enjoy dude!!

Congrats to the winner

I'm only slightly jealous

BlueBMW · 11/25/2010, 10:24 PM

A little update... I contacted Tobias to see if.. A. he had any copies left, and B. if he would offer some sort of group discount. As it turns out, he is sold out of the complete copies! BUT, he did mention he has lots of loose CD copies. They'd be the nice professionally pressed CDs like the other bootlegglers so they would play ok in our duos and cdromroms. They just dont have any sort of packaging. (we could probably arrange that if need be) He said they'd be CHEAP, so I'm waiting to see just how cheap!

Who would be interested in lose CD copies if they were cheap enough?

Duo_R · 11/25/2010, 11:47 PM

for sure interested....and we should do a repro on the case insert and manual (hint hint sparky).

If it was really the "randomization" then really we were all off by one number.

Maybe it's RanDAMNization !

And offcause Gratz to the winner!!!

BlueBMW · 11/26/2010, 07:17 AM

When he said cheap, he wasn't kidding! He told me he's looking to get about a Euro a piece not including shipping packaging etc. Maybe I'll just get a lot of em and send them to everyone

OldMan · 11/26/2010, 09:19 AM

So what would be the total cost to buy him out? I'd be willing to chip in if it's not too much....And maybe we could mark them "PceEngineFx Specials" :-)

Frank_fjs · 11/26/2010, 09:30 AM

Congrats obfuscate, enjoy your prize.

Im going to ask him today about buying out all of his loose cds. He joked about using then to decorate a christmas tree with all of them.

>>>update....

He's got a box of 450 to 500 cds he said he'd sell for 125 euros plus shipping. Id guess shipping would be probably 40 to 59 euros on the high end. So basically $300 shipped or so. That'd be less than a dollar a cd. They are the misprint off color copies.

Duo_R · 11/26/2010, 11:58 AM

Wow that is a ton. Well I am for sure interested in multiple copies.

obfuscate congrats!!!

Obfuscate · 11/26/2010, 12:09 PM

Oh hell yes, thank you, thank you!! This will be played hard and never sold.
Sent the PM, Thanks again!

BlueBMW · 11/26/2010, 12:50 PM

Looks like Im going to go ahead and buy them from him. The total will be 183 euros shipped. He verified that there are 500 cds (5 sealed spindles of 100 each) that comes out to $0.43 a CD. Might make some excellent freebies!

blueraven · 11/26/2010, 02:50 PM

I would definitely be interested in one or two. I don't have the game yet, and haven't played it via EMU.

I'd be willing to contribute to a group buy.

JoshTurboTrollX · 11/26/2010, 05:11 PM

Congrats Ob!! This is the mother of all giveaways thus far!!

hey Beemer, I'd be interested in a few. Put me down for 3!!

THank u!!

BlueBMW · 11/26/2010, 05:40 PM

If there are 500 of em.... i think there will be plenty to go around.

bartre · 11/27/2010, 01:52 AM

now, if only we can get the insert an manual printed for nice and cheap...
I know it's a bootleg, but still, i hate loose CDs.

TheClash603 · 11/27/2010, 01:34 PM

Congrats to the winner.

I will chip in a few bucks toward the 500 loose games, if everyone who wants one gives you $5 + shipping, I imagine u get your cash back.

BlueBMW · 11/27/2010, 04:54 PM

It came out to $248 shipped for all of them, so really only $0.50 each. I can probably send 5 cds or so in a cheap bubble mailer for under $2 + $0.80 for the packaging... so maybe even down to $4 for 1 to 5 of them. We'll figure it out, I certainly cant use all of them

bartre · 11/27/2010, 06:33 PM

yeah, i'd totally be in on that business.
want $5?

BlueBMW · 11/27/2010, 06:39 PM

Let me wait until they arrive before I start taking "orders"

I'm not looking to profit off them, just wanted to make them available for the people who want to PLAY, not collect.

If you're only going to sell them to people who would play and not collect them, why would they need more than one copy? One copy each would spread them around to more players, no?

Pretty cool of ya either way.

BlueBMW · 11/28/2010, 03:53 AM

I suppose people might want multiple copies to give out to friends or just to have. I suspect they aren't very saleable as loose cds (well, except to a nutjob like me)

Nazi NecroPhile · 11/29/2010, 10:29 AM

Congrats to Obfuscate!

Obfuscate · 12/01/2010, 09:13 AM

Got the game yesterday!! Thanks again, now time to go get an arcade card! Again, thanks, I love shooters and was not sure this is one I'd ever own. If you get the bulk order I can chip in $5-10 since I won this copy. Let me know.

Congrats on winning such a great giveaway. Now go buy that arcade card and put some hours in on playing such a great game!

I'd be interested in buying a few loose discs as well. I'm kind of surprised someone had 500 of these just sitting around.

BlueBMW · 12/01/2010, 02:52 PM

He said he shipped them today. 9kgs worth lol. Said it would be 10 - 12 days.
