    Beat it today actually. Been playing Mercenaries mode. Wesker and Hunk FTW.
    Truth. How does the neck snapping play out? Is it better with a wiimote?

    I just went into town to buy a copy of Lumines, and ended up getting three for five quid each. I intend to keep one, but I know I can make a profit at that sort of price by ebaying the other two. The question is just how much of a profit.

    Just don't burn yourself, paying for the shipping

    It's still done with a button press, but the cool part is that the sound of the neck snapping comes out through the Wii Remote speaker. Makes it that much more badass.

    Fail? Perhaps in a normal world where everyone is sensible and thinks rationally about their purchases. But in the twisted alternate universe of ebayUK, people are snapping it up for ridiculous prices. I saw two copies go for twenty quid earlier, and another for twenty-five. I'm confident that I can turn at least an 100% profit on both copies.

    ...

    I guess I should feel bad for making money off of Sony's misfortune. But it's Sony.

    Not to mention the fact that in a month or two Lumines will be as hard to find as the original PSO was for the Gamecube...it was the only way to play backups for a while.

    Aww, September? What's taking them so long?

    Blargh, anyway, I gave in. I preordered Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition (found out that I had more money than I originally thought I had ).

    The Model 2 Saturn is impossible to swap on.

    So, I bought this.

    Let me know how difficult/easy it is to install. I've been thinking of getting a Saturn modchip for quite some time now but I'd probably end up having to fit it myself.

    Will do

    I'll try to relay the information quickly... the guy who runs the site where I bought it posted in his forums that he would probably not be selling them for much longer. He used to sell a bunch of them a month, but lately he's only been selling a few. I have to wait for him to get his shipment before I get mine, and that's July 2nd.

    Model 2 = round button, correct? If so, then swapping is simple.


    ?

    I do it only swapping once too, unlike how most guides are. Original disk, swapped to cd-r, thats it. Most have CD-r, Game, CD-r.

    You have it backwards. The oval buttons (Model 1...which is what I had before and sold) is the easy one. I could swap it with no effort at all. The Model 2, however, is damn near impossible, and I've found mounds of information backing that up. In fact, the Modchip I bought is specifically designed for the problematic-swapping Model 2, and isn't recommended for the Model 1.

    EDIT: I'm not saying you can't do it, I'm just saying after trying for a half hour, and hitting a ton of sites all saying the same thing, I decided $28 was better than taking 30 minutes to play a game.
