Re: Do you collect anything?
Looking closer at the price... It looks like the last completed New in Box copy went for $140, but there was a tear in the seal. From my experience, the price of sealed games tend to change very quickly. When I got my sealed copy of Shenmue 2 PAL, it was selling (and completing) for around $300. Sin...

Re: Do you collect anything?
I picked this up at the flea market today for just 3 dollars. It is new and unopened with the shrink-wrap fully intact. Apparently new copies are going from 200 to 300 dollars on Amazon and Ebay . Used copies without the box are 40 dollars and up. http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/6343/systemshock2...

The smell of wet dog is usually considered gross by humans.
King was probably not expecting a pleasant aroma, but his nose is a lot more sensitive as a dog.
Either that or all his senses are blinded by love.
