You’re at the screen where the woman says, “Hi, JB!” Press Button I to bring up a menu with five commands.2) You want NONE of those commands. Press right on the D-pad to get to a sixth command. Select this one.3) Now you’re at a screen with a gun. Press button I to bring up a menu with five commands.4) You want NONE of those commands. Press right on the D-pad to get to two more commands.

That certainly gives me the option to pick up the import now. Not only do I love the music (I think there was a track or two on the extra music disc that came with UY) and am a fan of detective stories, JB Harold's name is actually really similar to my own. That's always been a cool thing to me. Imma price ebay now. Unless somebody here has one for sale...

Make a WTB thread.
