Hmmm -- Jump Superstars spotted at a Best Buy store:

Could an interesting trend follow?

I hope so. Most of the import sites rip you off a lot
Either that or games cost about 20 bucks more in Japan than they do in america...

I was suprised to find the PAL Shemue II for DC at a gamestop a few years ago.

but if you we're in the states, wouldn't it be a bit hard to play? I mean, they didn't just sell boot discs, most people didn't even know what they are. I bet a bunch of angry customers came back to the store shortly after.

DS games are region-free

I meant PAL shenmue 2, I know ds games are region free. Even still though, I bet most shonen jump readers would understand this game. I myself, only know around twenty words in japanese. But it's still neat that they're tapping into the imports, makes it easier for average consumers like myself to get ahold of these things.

I remember when Shenmue II was in the Gamestop's... all the ones around me had one copy each. And the store clerks new to forewarn everyone of the matter with it being PAL. They tried giving me the rant one day when I was looking at it, I shook my head and explained why the spiral was blue. They shut up.

yeah, that could get annoying I suppose.
btw, I meant wouldn't understand...lol typo
Maybe they should have put a sticker on it or something, saying a boot disc or pal DC was needed. oh well, the time has passed.

why was the spiral blue

I beleive pal Dreamcast is a blue spiral, instead of red/orange(I could never tell the difference, color blindness I assume
