Alas, no.

The other one listed had everything but was 79.99.

A bit more than i wanted to spend considering i can get the game for super cheap and I don't really need the gatefold to hold the other Tekken games, of which i have none, well except tekken 6.

If someone wants a complete one though its still up at half.com. Just search for tekken 5 in video games and its listed under the ultimate collection.

that's how I got mine too, from Amazon. I think it was $43 + shipping -- it was the stick boxed, with nothing else.

I found a silver PS2 slim at Goodwill yesterday, for $12. It was as-is, and only came with the a/c adapter, but it works fine. I discovered (the hard way) that it needed a repair though. The ribbon that connects the lens to the motherboard was sticking up slightly, so when I was testing various types of discs in it, it gave some of the a circular scratch. MGS3 got away without harm, but one of my Rocko's Modern Life DVDs got scratched, and Oddworld got an especially nasty ring. I figured out what was the problem, and taped the ribbon down. Now it works perfectly, except it still can't read burnt DVD movies. I don't know if that's normal, or if it still has a problem. I only have to decide whether to sell the slim PS2, or my fat one. I just can't decide which one's the better one to keep.

flea market finds today:

Genesis:
Phantasy Star IV - $3
Grind Stormer - $3
Exodus - $3
Spiritual Warfare - $3
Street Fighter II: Champion Edition (CIB) - $2

32X:
Knuckles' Chaotix - $3
Space Harrier - $3

GBC:
Wario Land 3 - $2

all of these were from the same guy, i wanted to get some hookups and a controller for the loose Model 2 Genesis i just got at goodwill, the guy said $15 and wouldn't really budge so i went ahead and bought them since i felt kinda bad for ripping him off on the games 8)

Original Game Boy w/ 2 rechargeable battery packs (1 Nintendo, 1 Naki), 2 battery door covers, some random manuals, a huge carrying case and a screen magnifier with a burnt out light - $10

GCN:
Pokemon Colosseum Bonus Disc (CIB) - $3

a few old Nintendo Powers and GamePros - $5

a glacier GBA missing the battery door, w/ Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, and Knockout Kings 2000 (all GBC) - $15 (this was funny because the guy wanted $25, i said $15 (which is still probably too much) and the guy said he'd meet me at $20. i said no thanks then he said "well let's flip a coin, you call it, if you win you pay $15, if you lose you pay $20. i said sure, won the coin toss and got it for my price, hahaha)

also got some sweet records for $1 each (Ozzy, Alice Cooper, Mott the Hoople, etc)

got some other games at the Salvation Army but nothing too notable. got a really nice 10' component cable for $10, really high quality. and a mint Monopoly board game for 59 cents :)

most of this stuff is going on my sell/trade list later today

edit: forgot, also got the Samurai Shodown anime VHS (hard clamshell case) for a buck.
