Turbo/PCE Flash Cart SPECIAL
« on: November 14, 2007, 04:39:32 PM »
If anyone is interested in picking up one of those flash cartridges from ic2005.com, now is THE time to do it.

We're getting together a group of people so that we can do a bulk order and get a significant discount ($40 off per unit). That brings your cost to $69 + shipping for the 64M carts and $109 + shipping for the 128M carts. However, in order to get the bulk discount everyone either gets the 64M or everyone gets the 128M. Personally, I'd like to see everyone walk away with a 128M unit but majority rules. We've got 9 people signed up so far. If you're interested, feel free to PM me or e-mail BT Garner at bt@mindrec.com.

Shipping looks to be about $12 per person for priority w/ insurance if you're domestic. International folks, sorry, you're still eligible but it will be a bit more on the shipping.

If you're interested let me (or BT) know ASAP so we can get this order wrapped up real quick like.

I talked to BT about this before on IRC. I really want to do this, but I can't really afford to at the moment.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

They are cartridges you can download ROMs onto from your computer via USB and then insert into your TurboGrafx and play on the real system.

Great for playing translated versions of Japanese games that you otherwise would have to play via emulation.

Sell some of your plasma or go make a 'manly donation' at the local sperm bank.  :wink:

..... or test driving games before buying.

I'd be interested in a 64M... if majority goes for a 128M I might buy one.

That's funny, when I was like 18 me and a friend used to drive around Seattle trying to find places to do that because we were unemployed and didn't want to get real jobs if it all possible.

I'd like to get a 128, but I too am low on funds right now. When is the deadline to sign up? Maybe I should search for a sperm bank  :-k

Not sure there is a definite "deadline" but I think the idea is to get things together within 24 hours. That doesn't mean you need to pay your share right this second, we're just trying to get a group together that is interested.

I would be interested in whatever the majority wants.  But- the least expensive the better ;)
