Cue the new gamer habit of casually checking toy store bins. What a pull, I'd cry
if I found myself so lucky.

An old co-worker pulled a working PS2 fat out of his apartment dumpster for me a while back. It's amazing that some people will think it is just worthless, then someone else will think their beat to snot stuff is worth 5 times the original price.

This brings me back to the old mothers chant, "there are starving children in Africa who would be happy to have what you do".
Why did Kevin Flynn blare Journey so loud in his arcade? Was he trying to hear it from the grid?

Actually, where I'm from in Dublin, also happens to be the place that once housed that factory that printed alot of incoming games, namely Dreamcast, and I now realize that it's possible I've walked passed a score like this in my lifetime.
