It is probably leaking or has already leaked out but it takes time to do actual damage. When I removed the one inside the halo Xbox I had to do a bunch of cleanup with IPA to get it to my liking. Corrosion is no joke!

well i hope it will keep working, even though i plan to sell it soon. it's a plain crystal green, not halo.

the xbox controller pads have this tendency to turn white with some sort of powder. you can clean as much as you want but it just won't go away. ps1/ps2 controllers that are older, age much better, worse i've seen is the rubber spray goes sticky.

Well I had a strike of luck yesterday in a strange spot known to over inflate their values I don't go to much anymore, and I hadn't even gone there thinking games but maybe a movie or two.

I went to the last of what once was a seven store chain due to those shenanigans because I had some oddball stuff my usual place probably would balk at taking or give me 10cents a piece on to get some cash, hadn't considered credit.  What went in was a couplg bags of cheap paperbacks, an old ps1 game/memory drawer generic thing(if shipping wasn't murder would have been worth selling), a duplicate movie and a few cheap odds and ends parts along with some famiclone carts.  The result was while that went on, I went looking and ended up seeing one cartridge there, one I hadn't seen in probably 15 years and was already a little under the market price which was a surprise.

They offered up just $30 cash but $65 in trade, so yeah...I grabbed it with just $35 out of pocket and it was so worth it.  The game plays great, a very solid brawler for the console with some smart tactics and moves combos and so on allowed.

I looked this up online, it seems to be relatively obscure, not many people talking about it. But, when you put the disc in your Sega Saturn it has a cartoon feature, with Sonic and Tails walking you through the cleaning process.

This would be great for cleaning my Sega Saturn if it were dirty, and if I had one! 😄

I'd argue this is probably the single rarest Sega Saturn title out there.  It has a game product number issued from Sega as well which makes it an official release too, not some aftermarket cleaner.  

I've seen maybe a total of 5 of these in the last 10 years, the last one that popped up was disc only and sold in May for about $115 I think.  

Hell of a find, I have been looking for one for years.  Where did you find it?

You're being serious here?

I thought OptOut's post was surprising enough to see as I had bought one of these about a week prior.

As for rarity, I've actually seen a ton of these unsold stock a few years back.

Yeah I just bought it randomly last week for 10 bucks on our local Taiwan shopping site. I just figured it was neat, lol! 😆

That's pretty awesome find, I wonder if they were manufactured in Taiwan originally, hence the abundance there since both you and fcgamer have them.  

I've seen a lot of people argue that they aren't a game or part of the full set but it's on Satakore so that's good enough for me to want one lol.

Well, if I see another, I'll try and grab one for you! 😉

You got all that in July and August! I salute you 🫡

Well done! Curious, are you going for any complete sets? Any particular collecting goals?

July, August and September!

I’m going for the Brazilian Xbox One set. I don’t know anyone else doing this and couldn’t even find a list of games released here so I researched and created the list.

i also buy every single PS5 and Switch games released officially here in Brazil.

Curious, are there any Brazilian-exclusive games you are aware of? By exclusive I don't mean a different box, cover, etc. but an officially licensed game that was released only in Brazil?
