What is a good price? If it's a big difference between the shop's price and the game's current value, I'm sure you could always sell it to someone on here for profit.


$8...It doesn't look like a very common game based on my GameStop searches (and it will rot away in the pawn shop). I think I will pick it up (along with, maybe, Ghostbusters and LBP Karting) and give it a shot. If I don't like it, then I will offer it up here. (I need to update my trade list anyway.)

Having both languages on the artwork/instructions doesn't mean much. Lots of American games are like that.

For French-Canadian titles look for games that have the French text first and English second. Some also have a little Canadian flag logo.

There are several TG-16 games in my collection with two instruction manuals. French and English.

My copy of Drakengard (PS2) is like that as well. Not sure if that was the only way it was released or what.

My copy isn't, but I got it used, so maybe they had gotten rid of the French manual. There is no French on the box, though.

To take it further, I think I have a couple of TG-16 boxes (or cardboard sleeves, whatever you want to call them) and they have French and English on them. I'm pretty sure my copy of TV Sports Basketball is like that.

Ah, mine has French on the back cover as well. I don't think it extends to the disc content though, just packaging.

NES, and presumably SNES games specifically had CAN in the ID code on them as well as having dual language books and boxes.

Can I unmod my 360 ? What happens if I go online with my modded console and update to latest firmware? Will it be bricked?

That, and having the ESRB rating in French and Enlish.
