    But, you'll have the most for an active EP member.
    That's my plan. Screw getting a date, or improving my social life, or saving up money to buy a house/condo -- my goal the time being is to get more plats than Cookie.

    More likely than not. You guys certainly do get screwed with prices sometimes.

    Yes but I'm not sure if our incomes are higher to balance it out and I don't care enough to check.

    Doubt it, judging from what Inferno was citing as income when he was talking about a potential job last month.

    When did the eBay layout change?

    I do not like it.

    I think Canada being so large doesn't have the same state wide wage and it varies by province and from what I heard BC is relatively well off state or I'm completely wrong on this

    Ireland's minimum wage is more in-line with Canada's (we range from $9-$10, give or take a few cents here and there).

    That's ignoring the currency exchange and whatnot, just looking at everything from a 1:1 dollar comparison. A $249 PS3 costs the same here and in Ireland, since the minimum wages are roughly similar. A £249 PS3 is a bit over the top.

    At least in my opinion.

    Also, finally got my hands on the official list of licensed NTSC NES games. There are 677 in total.
    Gonna have to start collecting again, I think.

    On average food costs a lot less in the UK than it does here, plenty of people go into the North of Ireland just get cheaper stuff.
