As long as you buy from a reputable seller who lives in the UK (you are told where the person stays) you will be ok. Many a bargain can be found on Ebay, and i recon you could get the same package you bought for at least £100 cheaper.

Yeah it probably was a lot to spend now i think about it.
Hmmmmmm.
But as i aaid money well spent.

Plus this was a year ago so i couldnt have got a GC bundle!!!! And id rather have got it from a reputable company rather than off ebay from someone i didnt know, most probably abroad, which would add to the hassle, who could lie about condtion of goods and who could so easily rip me off.


But whatever, its a unique chance to own a piece of Nintendo History!!

And while im thinking about stupid purchases, anyone know where i can get a 64DD?

just been looking around on ebay...and there is one going for 50 quid with mario tennis included...the seller has quite a high rating too1

woah..250 quid is a hell of a lot to spend on it!!
i would rather use that money to say get a ps2 or a gc bundle with that amount of money

POP, still considering getting one

I got myself one last christmas.
And it was worth every penny!!!

For £250 (is that alot? i dunno)i got the virtual boy, (new in the box, cellophane and everything) which comes wiv Mario tennis, plus 6 others which where Panic Bomber, TeleroBoxing, Vertical Force, Baseball, Red Alarm, Tetris V.

I also got the mains adapter for it, (otherwise its 6 batteries that probably only last 5 mins) and of course the step down main converter so it would work!!!.

i also wanted wario land, but it cost £100, so i thought better of it!!

i havent noticed any problems really, u do get a bit of back ache after continuous play. But ive never got a head ache.

The 3D effect is bitchin, for want of a better word, especially in tennis, when the ball comes right 4 ur face.

My advice, get one!!!
Itll be a real talking point, as well as a source of entertainment!!!

and im done now.

Worth having. I was going to pick one up a couple of years back, then realized I shouldn't because its just silly.

*er-no looks around at his two NES's, three SNES's, 2 N64's, collection of all GameBoys, collection of Game&Watch, collection of rare Nintendo watches, boxed 64DD, thousands of games and much more*

Damn. I should have brought it. I feel lost now. :D
