I did.... although it was the LE edition. That might make a difference. Maybe they stopped it at the border and opened the thing.

Yeah, found a thread on neo-geo that basically had everyone bitching about Air Mail. Looks like there was an official statement from the HK Post saying they're having trouble finding planes :lol: Talking about it delaying a package even leaving the ground by 3-5 days. Some people in the same boat as me still waiting on theirs, so I just have to be patient. Hopefully it arrives before Christmas eve, otherwise I'm off work 'till just after New Years so I won't have it to play :cry:

I usually don't, but figured I'd get by this time. Of course this is when I get screwed :lol: I e-mailed Play-Asia, they're opening an investigation with HK Post :roll: I love throwing money away, it's the best!

I've also eMailed them and they said they are "Investigating" it. Hopefully it shows up some time next year, and not in 20 different pieces with a $50 customs charge. :/

Oh. I usually refer to it as "this" rather than "next" Saturday. Alright, thanks for the clarification.
Should I bring my 360?

I guess I can make it for the 2nd

*edit* do you guys suppose all these late futari ports also has something to do with the fact that the mail system always gets screwed around starting november until dec because of christmas? I'm sure you all remember me bringing my first pcbs over to codys to test them on his cab because the final part of my supergun took about a month to show up. Partly because the guy took some extra time to build it. And partly because he sent it during christmas sludge-mail time

hahaha...thats awesome

im actually looking at getting an FC3+...NES, SNES.....and genesis :shock:

for like $60.....not bad...plus then i have s-video which i wouldnt get with any of those consoles otherwise

we shall see....ive already sourced them locally, but i want to see it running some games....only downside is it uses special controllers, and i would be willing to bet they are crap....

although a guy at work is bringing me a genesis on monday :wink:

i just want an SNES so i can play uniracers.... 8)

I would read some reviews on the FC3 Plus first, seems it's not entirely perfect.

This x1000. It's the one game I'd keep a SNES for, if I was going to have one.
