wow - how dare i post pictures of gaming posters in a gaming room on a gaming forum..... dickhead. did you really have to come in and post that for no reason? if you want to rag on people post some of your own setup so we can all take the piss out of it. It also shows how little you know about Dubai or the UAE..

Gravitone: i only came here in 2003/4 so i WISH that stuff was still around. unfortunately all you have are Geekay games here now and a few other places but no one stocking anything too major - new stuff only...i may have to do a trek through karama/bur dubai to see if there is anything really old there.

Maximus - cheers mate. honestly if i could send them or if you could pick them up id get one for you - they wont be in as good condition as mine however still in box and still sealed...its hard to send something from UAE however...

just go to the post office and use emirates post, the national carrier. I have used to it receive small parcels here in Holland and it works fine. You could always go with aramex if they have any decent sort of country coverage these days. Dont really know about that one.

Well, I think some of the man-made islands are a little odd, but I'd like to say that I enjoy the posters(heck, I think that KOF 12 one is pretty cool). I've only got a couple of pictures up, so nothing cool like that. Are those the frames I see that are generally used for posters, or did you have to jump through hoops to get those?

cheers for that - i may have to do that.

shipping TO here is expensive. i just saw a sealed virtual boy on http://moeroshop.net/ for $322USD (on special from $520USD)....didnt realise they were worth that much..

They are not worth that much. Ebay has em for less than half that.

Still a cool item though.

Seeing your Dreamcast hooked up puts a great big smile on my face. :) Very nice set up, man.
