Great deal. The only issue I would have with it is that the fat PS2's had an issue with the disk drives to where they wouldn't read the CD-ROMs (blue back disks). This obviously didn't affect all of the fat ones, but it did a good number of them. Still a great deal. Also, that price is awesome.

EDIT: Not to say that they didn't ever work, the disk drives would just eventually wear out.

I'm still trying to figure out why I didn't have to fight for it though...ah well doesn't bug me one bit some of the games I've won on there I've not fought over which is great. This makes me really happy because I'm earning quite a bit more this month since it seems like i'm maxing out hours for at least 2 weeks this month now that I can cashier as well right now ;) So the collecting even after putting some in savings doesn't seem that bad especially with that deal :D

So, does the JP SOTN contain the missing stuff from the Saturn? Or is it just that the PS1 version is just missing it regardless of region?
It has the couple of extra familiars, but everything else added to the Saturn version is unique to that version. (Aside from Maria being added as a playable character in the PSP version on Dracula X Chronicles.)

I have two Fats and do not have any issues. Well, the only time I run a disc is to install them to the internal Hard Drive with HDAdvance/HDLoader.

@ darsparx - Good god. lay that PS2 flat!

I will! I just can't see having it stand up straight that's just the pic I got from the listing. I don't know why but even having our wii standing up straight is starting to make me worry now...But when that thing gets here I may put my snes jr in a box for a little while or at least until i find a way to have more room for stuff. I might be sending my tv in my room to my dad's and using my cousin's old tv instead(which i might be also getting a few gc games since they apparently don't play the gc anymore). PS2 has definitely been a system I've been wanting to add and at 30 and no fighting for it I couldn't pass it up :D

Snagged a bunch of stuff this past week -- spent the weekend in Wisconsin with my folks.

Local pickups -
Metroid Prime K-Mart Label CIB (OMG SO RARE LOLZ) - $5
Star Wars Rogue Leader CIB $5
Gran Turismo 4 PS2 CIB - $2 (Trade Fodder)
Looney Tunes Space Race PS2 CIB - $2 (Trade Fodder)
2 Xbox Controller S (1 Green, 1 Black) - $3 each.

Wisconsin is awesome as always. Thrift store had a lot of Xbox, PS2 games, and you WI folks should be checking antique malls. I found both of the GameCube games there and they were worthy pickups for $5 each. I walked past a Jedi Outcast CIB for GC @ $5 and I wish I hadn't.

From eBay -
Billy Hatcher CIB + Brady Games Guide - $18
Sonic Gems CIB - $20

Yo Blu where in Wisconsin did you go? I rarely find anything good here in the Goodwills in southeastern Wisconsin.

My folks live in Kenosha, so around that area. It might just be how infrequent I stop in those stores but I get lucky the times I go.

I live in SE Wisconsin and (with any location) it all depends on being there at the right time.

Idk about other versions but the JP PS1 version comes with an artbook and a soundtrack CD also! =)
