I was in HK as well for Xmas, although I spent most of my cash on 2
DreamCasts ( plus all the games )
Plus I bought Zelda64 in Toys'R'us for about 30 quid and didn't notice that
it wasnt a HK version ( Time to practise my Japanese reading )
R-Type Delta & R4 both cost around 30 quid. ( It was quite funny to see that
the HK shop in Causeway bay got all of their PS machines from France!!! )
