SO I ordered these from Gamestop back in February. The tracking numbers they gave me said that USPS was awaiting the arrival of the package and when I contacted gamestop they said the packages got lost in the warehouse and they were going to refund me. I told them not to refund me and that I would wait for them to come back in stock but they said no and refunded me anyways. Then I check my mail today and get a bunch of packages only to find the games that they said got lost. I got these games for free. Thanks gamestop!

This also came in the mail today!

That's awesome! Those are some great PS1 games. :)

Bit like my first Xbox 360 story.

I got it with financing.
Pay 40 euros when getting the console then 9 other payments of 40 euros next months.
Never recieved the bill for the 9 other payments even when I asked once they just told to wait and it would arrive eventually which it never did.
This console also RRoD 3 times.
First time compensation was 1 month free Xbox Live Gold, second and third time free controller and 12 months free Xbox Live Gold.
Free pick-up and delivery back to home everytime, took less than 2 weeks each time.
So Xbox 360 at day one, two extra wireless controllers (so three total) and two years and one month Xbox Live Gold (+ one year that came originally) for 40 Euros.

Funny side story relating to this:
First time when they where returning the console I got phone call at 6AM that started: Upsista päivää (translation: Oopsie daisy).
I said what (I had slept only an hour and the phone call woke me), answer was again upsista päivää.
I repeated what, and got answer: From UPS delivery company, good day.
Upsista päivää can be translated also: From UPS (good) day.
Turns out the driver knew me (was father of classmate) and he wanted to have little bit fun.

Been itching to get one of these kits for some time now. Just gotta figure out which N64 is going to be treated to it...

THat's awesome, I've been wanting to pick one of these up, just never pulled the trigger.

Maybe if I could get Youtube revenue from it, but doesn't look like install videos fare very well.

I found a couple of things I was looking for at electronics markets located in Yongsan and Nambu.
