I'm going to guess and say the game at GameStop is what... 50 or 60
bucks cause they always charge more?  And you get a Kombat coin?

Buy the game at TRU or Best Buy and check Ebay in a day or two after
the game comes out and buy the coins for a buck each...

Well Gumbo...I believe its 40-45 bux at Gamestop..and the koins don't
matter. I was just letting him know thats the only MKDA promo items out so
far...

40-45 bucks at Gamestop?  I've only seen Gamestop selling rent games
for that amount...

yes...thats all it was...I reserved it...and do you mea they sell "used"
games for that amount? I've never heard of a store "selling rent games for
that amount"

buying MK:DA? ppl still buy games? i'm glad i have a cable modem,
burner and mod'd ps2.

some vid game shops here "sell rent games". meaning u can go in and
rent the game or buy the game that is being rented or rent to own or
buy games no longer being rented. i guess "selling rent games" is east
coast slang...

Since I'm on a polite basis w/ Marty now, and I have no intention of 
being inflammatory, please take this question as serious, but not 
accusatory.

What? Are you serious? Are you trying to destroy the economy?

On the one hand, perhaps you're not serious.  Since you go by the handle 
of Trash, perhaps it's just _Trash_ talk I'm hearing.  Also, since this 
newsgroup has been slow, I've forgotten everything except for the fact 
that I see the names JBomB and Trash periodically. I did see that you 
have a lot of posts here, but I wasn't able to get a handle on your 
position.

In case you're not serious:

I'm not going to get on _anyone's_ case for modding their machine.  Each 
of us has to weigh their warranty against the ability to play import 
games.  I hardly have the time to play US releases, much less imports.
Also, a PS2 is something I'd rather have a warranty on.  I guess if I 
was going to consider modding one, I'd yank a spare one out of a pawn shop.

/rantmode on
rantmode value is "on", default value is "off"

But if Midway put that much time into a game that people like so much to 
have a newsgroup about it, and then to find out that the biggest fans of 
the game talk about burning pirate copies, I'd close the doors and tell 
everyone to shove off.  If no one was paying for it, it'd be cheaper to 
not make it.

Does your boss forget to pay you occasionally, thinking he can get away 
with it?  Does the social contract of paying fair market value for goods 
and services and working a job where you're paid fairly for the quality 
of your own work not make any sense?

Are you some kind o' terrorist? Are ya _Un_American?

P.S. Smile :) next time you mouth off like that, will ya? :P
