Wow actually it may end up with a little rib to it, but go get a kiddie standard white elmer's glue stick and a business card or finer blade. Get the glue up in there and evenly, then press very hard out from where it's still attached to the edge and hold it for like 5min or more with your warm thumb to set it, then just wipe the excess clean. That label will look far more nicer than I think you'll think it could be. I've saved a few from looking ratty I got from the flea market last year and one was about 2/3 as peeled up as that one. Just don't clean the plastic off under with the white bits of the label so that way it grabs better and sets more evenly.

I thought about doing this actually, just was thinking about the best way to go about it.  I'm sure the game will look like a beauty if I clean it up and fix the label.

Picked this huge lot up today for $200.  You can tell by the collection that it came from a pretty hardcore gamer.  Guy originally wanted $400 for everything, but I talked him down.  He said he had interest, but he literally lived in the middle of fucking no where.  No one wanted to drive that far...except me who just so happened to be driving through the area for work.  No special trip FTW!

77 Original Xbox Games (original cases/manuals - Some Collector Editions, No Platinum Hits ) - TONS of great games!!!
40 N64 Games (All come in Nintendo hard plastic case, most have manual)
29 SNES Games (Stack of manuals)
3 NES Games
1 N64 System (w/ 4 controllers, 1 Rumble Pak, & RAM upgrade)
1 SNES System (w/ 4 controllers)
1 NES System (w/ 2 regular controllers, 2 wireless controllers, 1 joystick, 1 gun)
1 Nintendo NES Case
Stack of Xbox Magazine Demo Disks

Few notable games at a glace:

Super Mario RPG - SNES
Zombies Ate My Neighbors - SNES
The Guy Game - Xbox
Snowboard Kids 2 w/ Manual - N64

Might be more, but I'm tired and will continue digging tomorrow.  Some of this will be going into my collection and the rest will be up for trade/sale.  I'll probably be updating my FS/FT thread in the near future.

Picked up all of these games from a Goodwill today.  Paid $4 a piece for them.  None of the discs even have a single scuff mark on them...Just the way I like it!

Picked all the gaming stuff up from K-Mart & the statue from Goodwill.

Paid $101 for the K-Mart games (30% off from Store Closing) & $3 for the Star Wars Statue.  The Resident Evil 3DS is the mispelling version, I'm keeping this copy sealed for the future.  The rest of the games I plan on playing.

Edit, Forgot the damn picture

Ding Ding Ding, We Have a Winner!

From my research there's only 666 of these ever made!  There's hardly any information of these on the internet.

So Shiney!






Since I'm in my Finder's Keepers thread I also picked this lot up on Ebay:

Lots of good games

I don't think it's a debug system.  They made an extremly limited number of special colored PS2's.  I remember another member on NA found one a few years back.

here:

http://www.nintendoage.com/forum/...

They made a few different colored systems, I beileve they were online order only and since there were so few to go around, only 1 system per household.

No, but seriously, that's pretty darn cool. How rare is it compared to the yellow version?

The Blue version is just as rare as the yellow version. I found a nice article on IGN about them:

http://ps2.ign.com/articles/098/0...

Looks like there were 2,000 of each color made shipped worldwide. Where 666 were shipped to each region (NTSC, PAL, JAP).

Read somewhere that all of these colored systems are region free

Here's a recent forum of someone selling a White model:

http://collectorsedition.org/foru...

So looks like these things sell in the $500 range
