Hmm, I like it. It's easier to navigate. Lots easier.
anybody know where i can get the 4(5)-in-1 cart for the saturn cheap. $30 is a lil steep for me.
The format changed back to the old one. Uhh...
NCS should work with pages instead of that stupid 'more'-button ...
Niiiiiice. Finally, this was a long ass time comin'.
I wish they'd just throw all games for one system in one big list, text only like the original VGD. Then if you desperately need to see the cover you could click to see it. Still, it's better that they've broken up the system games into more letter categories.
It's not perfect but that's a massive improvement! :)
They obviously stole that format from VGD. bbobb, you guys should sue them, or something :p
Not too shabby on thier part... fortunately we've improvements coming as well to make them look foolish. ;)
Looks decent.
No more used games and JAMMA sections?
Lessee...
One site for news -
Another site for prebooks -
A third site for orders (scratches head) -
And
The best part -
You're automatically charged as soon as the order is placed. I *love* this - especially if an item isn't in stock (something that happens a bit with NCS).
No thanks, I'll stick with Corey, Travis, & Co. ;)
The new NCSX design rocks, but as Haohmaru said- I don't like the idea of being charged as soon as the order is placed. You should be charged once it ships. I did understand on Ikaruga, where cards were charged a bit ahead of time due to the high volume.
If NCS is going to begin charging ahead of time, I may take my primary business to VGD.
Complain to NCS about it enough and I'm confident they'd change. They'll notice all those lost sales pretty quickly. I would certainly hope so, at least. VGD has a better inventory anyway, and IA --> IL for shipping is clutch.Quote:

I hated that fucking setup. Because of it I would never window shop on that site. I began to limit my purchases solely to preorders.Quote:

I like the new design.
The setup is pretty silly now that I've read it- I wonder how long they'll keep the old shop going. If they keep it up for a while I'll continue to shop there, and only use the new shop if ordering something that will be shipping immediately.
You're fucking kidding me.
So if I preorder a game now, that's months away, NCSX is going to charge me right then and there for it? When did this policy change, and why..?
Hell, I'll take my importing business to VGD too, and it sucks for NCSX as I was just about to get into ps2 imports as well.
shop redesign = excellent. sure took long enough. the old navigation system was a nightmare.
that said, the revised ordering system sucks. a lot. they're going to lose quite a few customers with that..
Makes perfect sense to me. :confused:Quote:

I don't know what the hell is up with their charging you right away thing though... I'm sure they're using an automated cc verification and charging system like we do, and you can select if you want it to charge right away... or else just try to authorize the amount. We have it authorize automatically, that way it tells the customer if they don't have enough funds... but that's it. We then tell it what to charge and that's easy enough. That's just good business in my opinion... oh well... hopefully this thing pisses more people off... that's good for us. :)
I love you too big boy... :D Oh and what's this Rudy was telling me today about some Famous Picture of you in the Sunday Newsday related to Neo Geo?Quote:

I've got a question for you bbobb,
Is there any reason why import sites like VGD, or NCSX, don't support the Flip Top for ps2? Is there something wrong with it that most customers should know about?
An import ps2 is WAY too expensive for my book, and the Flip Top seems like a very cheap alternative, and easy to install as well.
I'm just wondering why no import sites have picked it up?
I used to order from NCS a lot but VGD has all my import business now. They know how to show the Genesis love. :)
the flip-top mod can be used to play cdrs and dvdrs. i doubt that any import site is eager to be next on sony's list.
The problem is it doesn't work 100% of the time. Personally I don't know all about it, but if you start a topic on the board a bunch of the guys here know about it. Any import solution we would carry has to be damn near 100% perfect at playing imports (which is what kills the fliptop) and fairly easy to install (which is the reason we don't bother with the messiah since they're basically hell on earth to do). It's unfortunate, but right now a JPS2 is still the best choice. Although if you're looking to get one, I would honestly say it's a good idea to wait another month or so before buying one. The new 50000 series is just starting to ship next week and prices are going to be inflated for at least a few weeks untill Sony gets enough of them on the market.Quote:

Piracy sucks.
Thanks, I did not know that.
It's just every board I go to with ps2 imports (mainly on GFaqs) they say how the Flip Top is so much better than a mod chip for imports.
But now that's all cleared up. Kinda sucks, I'd rather buy from VGD than some website, but it can't be avoided.
Too bad playing imports can't be as easy as it was with DC, and currently is with GC.
EDIT: There we go, new topic is made. I wish I could afford a japanese ps2, but at 300 a pop it's way more than I can spend at the moment.
I used to use NCS all the time but now I prefer to use PriestJPN/Tokuda. I don't need to look through a badly put together catalogue with a limited stock range as I know they can get anything I want be it new or old releases :)
They are charging in advance now? I bet this is all my fault...they shipped me a copy of DDPDOJ and after 2 weeks they still hadn't charged me. So I wrote them and said HEY YOU DIDN'T CHARGE ME. And so they charged me, but didn't really thank me for being honest or anything so they can go eat balls. Never shoulda said anything. Jerkasses.
If you decided to be honest like that, I think they should owe you thanks. If I were the HMFIC there, I'd have written a thank you email back and/or enclosed a note with your next purchase.Quote:

a fliptop is NOT the best thing for imports. the flip top and swap magic has its downside, like not being able to play any cd over 650 mb and needing a different disc to play ps1 games. and doing the swap trick a lot.
if you really want to play imports dont be a cheap bitch and get that little green board in my sig. i think its funny that people can spend $300+ an another system because getting a chip at 1/3 the price installed for you is a bad investment. oh wait....getting a messiah 2 automatically means PIRACY and getting a jap ps2 is so much more ROXORS!
I think they should've sent me one of those Evangelion panty shot statues. Dickweeds.Quote:

Dyne: The problem is, there's no one here that can install it for me, and there's no way my first lesson in soldering is going to be on the ps2.
First of all...$250.00 shipped.Quote:

Second, I'd prefer my system be unfucked with, guaranteed to run any Japanese game or supplemental DVD I buy. Especially since so many people with modded PS2's seem to be having problems. If you only plan to buy three imports ever, then I see how it's an appealing option. Otherwise a Japanese system just makes sense.
dyne can point you in the right direction.Quote:

I can't wait till TNL is over-hauled :rolleyes: :lol:
You mean again? :lol:
bad eggplant!!! :D
Dyne, then point away.
I literally only want a handful of imports, and they are mostly shmups and Firepro Z.
I like it. ;)
