SG 05 Nov '09 15:01:29	This is ridiculous. Even fucking online shops are at it now - bought Rhythm Heaven and lo and behold it's got fingerprints on the box underneath the cheap cellophane wrap, the resolution of the booklet is dodgy and the Nintendo logo isn't gold - it's dark yellow - all classic signs of a fake. Oh and it looks like a US copy but in a clear Euro style box. I've bought this and another one (Prof Layton 2) which is also fake for my ex-step daughter and I don't want it conking out for her in a few weeks/months. send message \| log in to reply!

SG 05 Nov '09 15:17:24	I'd love to. Unfortunately I've forgotten the name, they never sent me an email when I ordered - it was by card, not Google checkout or Paypal - and searching for it again by Google Shopping no familiar name pops up. FUCK. send message \| log in to reply!
nickthegun 05 Nov '09 15:19:18	I am shocked that the game you bought from a shop so reputable you cant remember its name or find on google was a pirate. Its a dark day for gamongs everywhere. send message \| log in to reply!

JohnnyWashnGo 05 Nov '09 15:59:13	If something seems too good to be true, it usually is. Still, at least you only dropped �15 for it. I paid �25 for Rhythm Tengkou Gold when it came out and was pissed off when I found out that it was shit. GBA version is a million times better and have superior tunes. I still find myself humming the shot-arrow-through-ghost song. send message \| log in to reply!

20charactersmax 05 Nov '09 16:29:42	Rhythm Heaven (Paradise in Europe) for �11.23 and guaranteed genuine. Was �9.97 the last few days. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001QIRS8W/ send message \| log in to reply!

And it's OCPD not OCD. No no I mean I thought you were very particular about everything being pristine and brand new in its wrapper etc.. But like you said it wasn't for you, so fair enough. send message \| log in to reply!
midnight_walker 05 Nov '09 19:28:49	I've got some dodgy DS carts from some ebay sellers before. I just tell them to give me my money back, they tell me it must be a mistake - just send the game back and they'll refund me, I say I'm not paying to send the game back - give me my money back or I report you, and lo, they give me my money back and I have a game. I don't feel bad about this at all. send message \| log in to reply!
Tomo 05 Nov '09 19:40:55	Um... I'm confused about one thing. How can you have an ex-step daughter? Unless she's buried in a ditch somewhere? SG is quickly rising up the ranks of mentalist forumites. send message \| log in to reply!

el_pollo_diablo 11 Nov '09 21:19:33	Used to happen to me all the time on Ebay with GBA games - my fondest memory has to be getting a copy of Warioware Twisted on a normal sized cart, without any of the magical twisty turny stuff that was on the real, big cart version. Aaaah, memories. send message \| log in to reply!
