Pete Posted September 11, 2005 Author Share Posted September 11, 2005 And just in case anyone wants a sneak peek at the X-COM box, here's what's in it. The only other thing not shown is the CD that'll go in with it containing the Fileplanet Collector's Edition version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan100 Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Doesn't seems many people know of this newsletter, as there have been almost no posts about it. How many are signed up at it, Pete? :: Can't wait for the second to come! Gotta have something new about Aftershock soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted September 11, 2005 Author Share Posted September 11, 2005 Loads. I'm no bothered abut a lack of posts though. Most people sign up on the site and just read rather than post. We'v had a fair amount of entries so far too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophocles Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Didn't know that the original UFO Enemy unknown was a collectors item??Do you know how much it sells??I could be tempted to sell my copy if the price is right. And you can also ple-order the game for just 29.99 Euro with free delivery at www.play.comAt least that's what i did and its cheaper to amazon.

Pete Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 Well I actualyl obtained this copy from Ebay - didn't cost too much, but that's because I did that "buy now" thingy they sometimes have. At any rate, the box has only received minor dents (presumably through shipping) and the contents are in pristine condition. I could get a lot more by just putting it back on Ebay, but I bought it to use as a competition prize after all As for play.com - yes they are cheaper, but we're linking to Amazon.com as 5% of each sale through our linking to them comes back to us and gets put back into this site. It's a shame play.com don't have a similar affiliate scheme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Don't know about the PC version, but the Playstation version regularly changes hands for about £30. I've seen PC versions go for as much as £45 when the bidding on ebay got stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
