    The user comments about sending a man to collect the tumbleweeds makes me laugh It's funny to compare the store when it was open to what it's doing now.

    quite a reckless company then they never stood a chance in the handheld market, and they knew it.

    and crashing the ferrari just shown that the company is about as good as his driving!!

    :/

    How utterly fitting and obvious. It's as though someone wrote out a script.

    I have a question about Gizmondo games... Would new games always have factory cellophane or be shrinkwrapped? I got one, supposedly new, with no cello/wrap, but the case is sealed closed with a Gizmondo logo sticker. Is that normal?

    Default Sticker is sealed as well...

    I purchased all 8 of the US releases along with a system three days after they went on sale in the US at a kiosk at Fox Hills Mall in Culver City, California. Unfortunately, I don't have the games in front of me, but 7 of 8 had shrink wrap (very cheaply done I might add) and one had no wrap and the Gizmondo sticker you described. So, that appears to be factory sealing for at least one of the games.

    Here is a Gizmondo flow chart to help explain things (click on it to enlarge)

    From this article.

    Oh shit that's good. I'm wondering what the link off Games Factory should be, though.

    that's an awesome flow chart

    it's pretty pathetic that they were able to rip everyone off but It's one of those things I guess.
