Every Dreamcast game ever made up for auction – it is your duty to enter the bidding war

Hopefully it isn’t necessary to explain to you the significance of SEGA’s Dreamcast. It was the best console ever, especially as Electronic Arts didn’t release any games for it so there was no FIFA/Madden/NHL to trudge through every year – just 100% SOLID GOLD SEGA and SEGA-approved arcade magic.

Anyway. One man has acquired an original copy of every Japanese Dreamcast game ever released. Which, to be fair, most gamers should’ve done themselves during the late 1990s and early 2000s.

But if you didn’t do your duty at the time – and therefore inadvertently contributed towards today’s dismal gaming scene – you can now make amends by buying every Japanese DC game in one bulk lot – for the never-to-be-repeated bargain price of $19,999.99.

A quick glance on eBay this morning has turned up 2,381 auctions for actual HD DVD discs, with some appallingly cheap options including a job lot of six high-profile films for £49 with 2 hours left (at HMV, this would retail for £124.92), the…

Is this what eBay has become? Cerys Matthews & Marc Bannerman magazines on offer, whoo?

You know life is well and truly over when you wonder to yourself just how low eBay sellers are stooping these days, and actually log on in search of Cerys Matthews and Marc Bannerman merch.

I was actually expecting to find homemade silk-screened t-shirts, but alas, there are a few copies of OK magazine, with an ‘exclusive’ interview with the not-in-any-way-publicity-hungry I’m…

Nintendo losing $1.3bn of potential sales thanks to Wii shortages

wi-shortages-worldwide.jpgThat’s enough money to fund all of our fantasy lifestyles, and is the amount a New York Times report says Nintendo is losing out on this year thanks to Wii stock shortages.

James Lin, senior analyst at the MDB Capital Group says Nintendo “could easily sell double what they’re selling” – and it’s playing into the hands of the enemy. Sir Howard Stringer, boss of everything at Sony, said “I’m happy that the Wii seems to be running out…

Nintendo to pull Wii ads after stock shortages?

wii-shortages-uk-ebay.jpgChristmas is in CRISIS! Nintendo’s Wii console is already sold out across the land, with desperate mums forced into prostitution (unconfirmed, but likely) in order to fund the excessive prices being charged by online shops for the few Wiis still available.

And just one look at the mass eBay shame out there will show you how bad it’s getting. Chancers are trying to shift used…
