 NEWS General Updates 

BLU Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Blu-Ray
   NCS expects the Japanese FFVII Advent Children Complete Blu-Ray + Final Fantasy XIII Demo in 2 weeks along with the FFXIII Cloud Black PS3 bundle. All of our shipments should be in by April 16 but we'll update accordingly if there are any delays.
ETC Sale of the Week Preview
   We probably be posting up new Sega Saturn Fighting Commander SS joypads from Hori for next week's sale. They're about fifteen years old but are in new and factory boxed condition. Pricing will probably be about the same as the PC-Engine Blasters from this week.
   The alternate item we're thinking about posting are Famicom Controllers from Bandai that are new, boxed, and in factory fresh condition. We'll figure out the preferred selection, take the usual photos over the weekend, and post up the sale item on Monday.
 
 

PCE Blaster Joypad ACP-01 JPN

Sale Import: US$18.90/each
Jan Code: T4991734310014
 SOTW PC-Engine Blaster Joypad - Clearance
NCS Sale Offering: March 30, 2009
«©NCSX» New and factory boxed PC-Engine Blaster Joypad which was released for the Japanese market nearly 20 years ago. Although the controllers are new, the boxes have slight dings and some very minor color wear. Perhaps in a testament to the longevity of plastic however, the joypads themselves look great with shiny patinas and seem to have just shipped from the factory. Each joypad is wrapped in a little bubblewrap baggie and a 2-page user pamphlet is included inside each box. The back of the packaging lists the original retail price as JPY2880.

   The Blaster is designed for use with the PC-Engine console and features the SELECT and RUN button on the center of the controller while the III, II, and I buttons are located on the right side of the pad. Each button may be empowered with turbo-fire by adjusting the slide lever above each one.

Sale Offering  
   Pricing is set at US$18.90 per PC-Engine Blaster Joypad. If you reside in the USA, you may select USPS Media Mail shipping on our shop which is about $2.50. International customers are encouraged to select USPS First Class Airmail at a cost of approximately US$10.
