I gotta get my hands on Gun-Nac sometime. Would love to find that cheap...

Gun-Nac is IMO the best shmup on the NES. I love it. Its definitely worth picking up should you run across it.

Oh course I had to print my own manual for Star Trek the game.  Now that Ps3 games no longer have manuals,

Thanks Sony

Why bother?  Are you seriously ever gonna look at it?

I mean, it bums me out that manuals are no longer part of my new game buying experience, but I can't tell you the last time I actually opened and got any use out of one :-\

I dunno. Just seems like more effort than it's worth.

I agree and disagree,

It was the same cost to the buyer if it came with a manual or not. Soooooooo they should drop the price for games at least a few bucks since they are paying to have a manual produced.

Personally I want the manual. It makes the case look more full like you actually getting what you paid for, (This goes along with those crappy "eco friendly" cases that are junk IMO) instead of being empty.

Though that is a good point, the only time I really even looked through the book was as soon as I opened it or if I forgot a control or something.

So all in all it's not really needed.





I still like my manuals though.  :P

I have manuals for all my xbox, ps2, and 360 games. I've hunted manuals down at different Gamestops and even ordered one online once so that every one of my games in those series would be complete.

I don't worry about manuals for SNES or NES games. It makes things much easier and less expensive to not worry about it for the older games and there's no place to tuck a manual in the UGC anyways.

I bought this collection of steel cased blu ray movies.. plus parents Beware of the "childrens" movie on the bottom right. Me and a coworker bought it to put in the dvd player at work and the guy says in the movie "kiss my ass". So we had to take it out. I also heard the F word will be allowed on national tv now.

Yes stick to your principals!
Spending around $8-$10 for a gift for your wife is waste of money regardless how happy it would make her feel...

Glad I'm single. ;)
