If you are confused about what the subject line is, read PC-ENGINE HELL's conversation with this guy, lol.
Feel free to write this guy and harass him as he is a racist, an idiot, and stereotypes the US in general, among other things, including lying about a main feature of a game. This crap is the equivalent of saying that a PS1 game is in HD, or that playing a Virtual Console NES title on the Wii in 480p, means the game supported EDTV (Enhanced Definition) for the last 20-25 years.
A PS2 game does not = it being a PS3 game, nor does the fact that playing the game and it being upscaled on the PS3, mean that the game supports the same on PS2.
The auction is this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260359981377keep on clicking through the 'This item or one like it has been relisted.' to find the current auction for the game.
First off, notice
REZ HD in the title...Rez is a standard
PS2 game. There is nothing HD about it. Some PS2 games support HD as an option on
PS2, but not this one. Also, when you put it in a PS3, ALL systems upscale the game (the ones that support PS2 games that is). That doesn't make the game TRUE HD. There is nothing unique about this copy. It is EXACTLY like all of the other copies out in the UK/Europe. Also, let's not forget, not ALL PS3's will play PS2 games (which I forgot when I originally wrote him).
Secondly, this guy is having a field day, hyping the fact he thinks the game is TRUE HD, and basically is misrepresenting what the game is:
THIS IS FOR THE GAMEDISC AND CASE ONLY ALL INSTRUCTIONS ARE ON SCREEN ....MANUAL MAY BE ACQUIRED AS A PDF FILE ONLINE...THIS IS ONE OF PLAYSTATION 2 'S MOST SOUGHT AFTER GAME'S ...IN THE PAST WE HAVE TRADED THIS GAME AND THOUGHT LITTLE OF ITS EXCLUSIVITY...BUT RECENTLY A FAMILY MEMBER WAS SURPRISED TO PUT THIS ' REZ ' GAMEDISC INTO OUR NEW BLUE-RAY PLAYSTATION 3 ...WHICH IS CONNECTED UP TO A PANASONIC HD READY TV VIA A ' HDMI ' LEAD GIVING A PURE UN-INTERUPTED SIGNAL FROM ONE DEVICE TO ANOTHER IN HI-DEF.... WHEN THIS GAME STARTED TO PLAY THE TV'S AUTOMATIC DISPLAY SAID " 1080P" ...I TOLD THE PERSON CONCERNED THAT THIS WAS RUBBISH...THE SUPER-RARE RHYTHM /ACTION GAME WAS MADE LONG BEFORE 'HI-DEF' WAS AN AFFORDABLE FORMAT ...BUT AGAIN WE POPPED THE DISC IN THE PS3 ... SELECTED THE 60HZ SCREEN REFRESH...AND SURE ENOUGH OUR TV DECIDED TO PRESENT IT IN ' HI -DEF'...AND IT LOOKED AND SOUNDED AWESOME !!! ...
" REZ " IS A GAME SO RARE ...IT STILL COMMANDS A SECOND HAND VALUE ABOVE THE PRICE OF NEW ISSUED GAMES ON THE PS3 FORMAT...THE GAME IS RENOWNED FOR ITS UNIQUE.. ' NEVER PLAY THE SAME WAY TWICE' FEATURE ...WITH NEW SOUNDS AND COLOURS BEING ADDED TO THE GAME PLAY ..CONTROLLED BY YOUR ACTIONS !!! BELOW IS MORE INFORMATION FROM AN OPEN SOURCE...He then goes on to post some review about the game or info (probably from Wikipedia), like it is his own knowledge.
Lastly, he is selling the game for more than it goes for: GBP 36.99 (approximately US $52.98) -- and he has relisted it at that 4 times now. Any smart person would have lowered the price already. Keep in mind, NO MANUAL, and he is one of those people touting RARE RARE RARE.
So, I wrote this guy, to inform him more than anything of the error of his auction...here are the messages, etc.
I'm sure other people will be chiming in after this with the lovely responses that he has been giving to them.

Dear funhouse09,
Not sure if someone has written you about this already but none the less; you are trying to pull a fast one, hoping that someone is stupid enough to believe your rubbish for what is normal on all systems, or you are just naive. ALL PS2 (and PS1) games when played on PS3, if they have been updated to a firmware post mid-2007 will upscale the games and movies to 1080p. There is nothing SPECIAL about your copy there. Do a google search for ps2 games 1080p ps3 - several of the links there (top 3 especially) state the upgrade that occurred in May of 2007. If you already know about this and you are trying to con someone into thinking you have something special here, you should be ashamed of yourself. It's a NORMAL copy of REZ for PS2, NOTHING MORE. ALL copies of REZ will play in 1080p on EVERYONE's PS3.

see what i mean !!!--
Dear funhouse09,
Good for you. Nice attempt at twisting my message to work in your favor; notice I said attempt. You just proved which of the 2 you are. Add this to your listing too, Mr. Rare Rubbish. Good luck with your auction; I'm sure you will be able to sell it for more than the price it goes for complete, considering that you are selling it WITHOUT THE MANUAL. You truly are naive, "see what i mean !!!".
Yeah, this is such an abusive tone...so abusive. My words are just beating you up. A punch in the face with an "A" and a kick in the leg with an "N". "F" is just dragging you around by your hair. You are ridiculous, just like your description; nothing but a bunch of hype. Don't bother writing me back.

Dear quoth09,

He has relisted the same auction at least 4 times after that one, and not gotten a single bid; I hope he enjoys paying the fees.
I have since pointed it out to some people and he has every message that he gets, coming to him.
Had he changed the hype and BS in his auction and corrected it, I would have left well enough alone.
Have fun harassing him people, he kinda deserves it.
I wouldn't have even bothered mentioning this to anyone if he would have changed his auction, but the fact that he cares more to try to make me look like I am something I am not than correct his auction that is misrepresenting what he is selling, which is not only against eBay rules, but completely unethical as a sales person.
UPDATE: This was posted to the Q&A to his most recent listing (
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260366672728) of the item:
Q: How many times have you re-listed this now? Hopefully you sell it before the fees exceed the low bid lol. I guess the HD strategy hasn't worked out like you thought it would ehh? Well,anyway, good luck I guess, maybe it will sell this time. Feb-23-09
A: thank you for taking such an interest in my misfortune ...but then again you are american and its part of your nature to stick you nose in were its not needed or wanted...i'm in england ..you know ..the place where all the history comes from ...i understand that your country is just over 200 years old and you had to kill a load of native americans to gain control of your barren land ...any way good luck trying to get the jumble of races there to live together without killing each other over a slice of pizza...
