Just because a shmup might compel you to play repeatedly until you've died 700 times and your thumbs are bleeding in order to make it to the second boss doesn't necessarily mean you've gained more value for money than a shmup you can breeze through on the first sitting - it just means you're that much further on the way towards gaining arthritis. ;P Panorama Cotton is "easy", and I don't regret the price I paid for it at all. :)Quote:

I sold one on eBay, mint and complete for $115 last year. I won't say how much I got it for.
If anyone actually calls their dog Musha, please come back and tell me about it! Preferably with a photo so I can go "G'awwww, humourously named puppy" ;)Quote:

MUSHA is very overrated......Spriggan is a much better game.
I paid 96 dollars for mine but even without the box it was still near mint.Quote:

The rule of thumb is if you want it ASAP you are going to get ripped.

I got NTSC1 MUSHA for about £120 including postage from the US, and I have to say, I really like it. I'd rather have only paid the £30ish it would have cost brand new, but there you go.
I'm no X-pert (!) with this kind of thing, but these games will only get rarer, and keeping them in the collection can only be a good thing for future resail in my oppinion. At the end of the day though, I really have been had by paying such a high price for such a frivolous thing as a video game.
Hehe.Quote:

The world is full of expensive frivolous crap for you to waste £££ on - I think Mega Drive / Genesis games offer relatively good value for money. And of course you could argue that money spent on anything you really enjoyed is not "wasted" :)Quote:

How's the price on a Cart Only in 2011/2012??
When I was looking last year, it was in the $60-$70 range, but I'm holding out for a CIB copy eventually. It's not really on my priority list, but I do worry the price is only going to continue going up.
BTW-What's with all the MUSHA threads in the last couple of days, is there a new rush for it?
I vote for naming a kiwi bird Zero Wing.Quote:
