Hey Guys,
Today, I just got PDS! I tell you, it's a great feeling. It's in kickass near-mint condition. It's beautiful. I don't know if I can play it, I want to keep it pristine! (any suggestions?).
I was looking on Ebay, when I noticed that someone was selling a copy of it that was around my neck of the woods (Omaha, NE). I gave the guy an email asking if I can buy it up front from him and he said yeah, he'll sell it for $110. Things were set in motion when he emailed me saying that he couldn't cancel the auction, it was too late. I was worried for a while, but decided fuck it, I'll bid on it. I went to Gamers and sold off my N64 system and collection of games plus some Xbox titles and a Time Crisis II with Guncom combo (I know of the trade value, but I needed the cash quick!) and got $136 for it. I set the bid for 130 and prayed. Everything looked all right, until the last couple of hours, when someone out bid me, that F$%#$%# as#$%#@!!!! So I set the bid up to 150, I could push that, sell some more stuff. The last hour, same guy pushed ahead of that, so I set it fot 170, pushing my limit! Thankfully, the auction ended at 152.50. I won! The next day, today, the guy came by with the game. Real nice guy. A Nebraska guy (they're usually either nice or racist/homophobic or somewhere in between). The deal came with Panzer Dragoon, but he also threw in Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV! He told me that he was thinking of starting up a Saturn collection (like me) but had bills to pay. Well, I hope he realizes that PDS is in good hands. I now have the original PD trilogy (plus an extra PD) and in a couple of weeks I'll have PDO for Xbox. Life is good. Just felt like sharing that with you guys, since you all are enthusiasts. Here's a list of Saturn games I currently have:
Panzer Dragoon
Panzer Dragoon Zwei
Panzer Dragoon Saga
Romace of the Three Kingdoms IV
Mega Man X4
Earthworm Jim II
NiGhts into Dreams plus 3d controller
The Legend of Oasis
Shining the Holy Ark (currently playing)
Shining Force III US
BTW-- the guy told me that there were two versions of the PDS, one with black CD inserts, one with white CD inserts. Is that a significant difference?
