In the September 2005 issue of Wired, on page 62, there is a full page spread touting the virtues of watching Japanese shmup (& fighting) Superplay DVDs. It lists several shmup Superplay DVDs that the author has checked out that he thinks are worth viewing.

The cool Gradius V background pic in the Wired Superplay article really caught my attention as I was casually flipping through the current Wired issue magazine on newstands now across the USA.

Would be a nice reading I think.

What's cooler than playing videogames?
Watching people better than you play.

No, it's really not.

So I guess, being as there is a magazine article, this means that the value of DVD replays has just trippled on eBay.

I'm selling my

Ikaruga Appreciate DVD RARE! for £100

also my

!!RARE!! Gradius V !!RARE!! for £500

Any takers? Go on, it's a bargain!

Cheers

You still have that Gradius V?
Does the price include shipping to the Netherlands?

Yeah.. I think he's referring to the commentary on the Options DVD.

Not to mention that Clover-TAC and Kyojou are the two players responsible for the replays on The Perfect DVD.
