What to do?

I just acquired an unopened limited edition version of Border Down...

Do I:

A) Save it and wrap it in 50 pounds of bubble wrap.

B) Put it on ebay and rip someone off insanely.

C) Open it and play since another copy will be hard to come by.

buy another copy.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, the game is becoming really hard to come by since everyone who has a copy is holding it in a deathgrip.

zomg l33t l@@k romz!

But seriously, the high score thread is in frothing demand of your score. And i don't ask for the players to play on original copies.

newsflash from the 80's, if he already owns the original, its legal to make a backup..

Open it and use the discs for coasters!

And when you say "acquired" I can just see ya shaking a fist under some 10 year old's nose....

I think you shoud should sold it on eBay and use the sum to buy an used regular copy to play.

There should be quite a large sum reminding, if you are lucky, the reminding sum might enough for you buy one more game.

I think I'm going to hold on to it for now along with all of the other sealed games I've been getting (god I'm becoming a collector...). Eventually I'll find a decently priced used copy somewhere and pick that up, I might burn a copy in the mean time and game.

Wait for the next money coming in and buy the regular Version of Border Down. You can play it then AND you've got another collector's gimmick for your shelf (sealed LE beside a mint non-LE)

I want to build some kind of tower with sealed copies of border down and ikaruga, now all I need is a sealed radiant silvergun to put at the top and I'm set.

1. Sell it on ebay.

2. Buy opened Border Down LE from proceeds (the LE is really worth it btw, cuz the soundtrack is fantastic)

3. Buy two other awesome shmups from the rest of the cash.

Isn't there a soundtrack you can buy separate from the game as well? Does that one have all the same tracks as the soundtrack included with the LE?

There's Border Down OST volume 1 (featured in Border Down LE, but can also be puchased seperately) and there's Border Down OST volume 2 (music from the Remix mode in the DC version of Border Down, can only be purchased seperately). Both are very good!

Thanks for the info.

Randorama · Post by **Randorama** » Sat Oct 14, 2006 3:17 pm

...and there's Border Down Image OST, which features 3 songs from the main OST in a slightly re-arranged version (Upon the new raid, Prot #11 - Cage, Bye Bye Mars) and Vane, which is an unused song.

^Well this is true!!

I guess I'll start posting in the Hi Score section of the forums once I have some scores I'm relatively happy with, a lot of scores in that section are intimidating.
