I wanted Dead or Alive 2, because I heard it was good and wanted to see and compare it with Dead or Alive 3 - which I love. I called EBGames at the nearby mall and asked 'em if they had it (for Dreamcast) and what kind of price. They did, $25. I figured that was decent and decided I'd get it tommorrow.. Well, being bored, I went on eBay and also checked for it pricewise. I found some slightly better deals but nothing that was really much more then a buck to five bucks less. Then, I noticed the very last auction.. UK, L9.60 or somethin' like that (I apologize for the L, I can't do the funky little UK sign thing for cash) Converted into American, it was around $12.50 - And this was a Buy It Now auction, which means you don't hafta bid, you just buy it. So for $17.50 ($5 shipping and handling, that makes it $17.50, not much difference) I was able to get a game - and it doesn't matter to me if it's imported, I have a boot disk - that I would have had to pay $25.00 PLUS TAX local for. I think I got quite a deal

It's a great game! I love the nude code where you can see a bondage pic of Kasumi in the opening viedo, where she's stuck in a gelatinous blob!

Well... let's say a PS2 game costs 50$. It would be... 250 ù"ç in here because we double it by 5.

Ebay is a great place for Neo Geo games.. Even though they are expensive as hell to start with.
You can sometimes find some of the oldies for cheap.
I own DOA2 for DC. I like it. DOA2: Hardcore for PS2 is alot better (better than DOA3 IMO also) but DOA2 is excellent.
