SS2 has one iirc. Sunway has another one, and Bukit Tinggi Klang has one more. I think there's more, too.

Saw a few MD boxes in Mydin Mall USJ. Thinking of grabbing one myself even though my Genesis clone is still working okay.

All those MegaDrive consoles are China clones, just like the old Micro Genius NES/FamiCom clones.

Interesting. Those I've seen have pretty convincing boxes, which iirc even have the Sega logo.

Izit new in box? Old model with parallel port?

Searching for one up and down. Sent my old PS1 slim to a shop to repair S-Video port, not only did the shop I sent the thing to didn't repair it, they broke the PS1's drive in the process as well mad.gif

Look carefully.

The print quality on the boxes look very cheap just like the ones on those fake Memory Stick Pro Duos.

Also, I had a chance to test one out and apparently some of the models have BUILT-IN GAMES.

That should set off some sort of alarm bells....

Wow, that bad?

They are really out to get at collectors now, huh?

I was hoping it was someone found a stash of unsold Megadrives in a warehouse somewhere.

Ah well. I should probably be thankful that my "Super Creation" is still working, although I still want to get a real Megadrive someday.

LOL, GamersFamilia is pulling your leg.....

Seriously, if you really want to buy a retro console, the best and safest would be to buy from a Japanese ebay seller that speaks and writes decent English and sends to Malaysia via EMS.

That is how I managed to buy my Dreamcast and Hyakushiki PS2.

Working Mega Drives and PS1s are still abundant in Japan....

Ok, thanks for the advice. I already managed to get a replacement PSOne tho. Some guy selling surplus units from UK. Everything new in box and still in wrapping. Problem is, it's the PAL version, so I'll need to work on that tongue.gif Will take your advice for the MegaDrive tho.

eBay Japan seems to be just a portal to other eBay tho, and my experience shows that no one on Yahoo Auctions Japan will ship out of Japan.

Yeah. Thing is, I'm a bit picky and prefer New In Box. Hence hoping someone found a unsold cache somewhere tongue.gif

Yeah, I'm aware. US$335 for NIB first-gen PS1. Luckily my NIB PSOne slim only cost me some 39.90 pound - some RM 240, half the price of my PSOne slim when I first bought it.
