I'd be interested a few years ago if it could still play PC Engine games. One that only does Turbochips is less appealing to me. But now LT's sell complete in box pretty cheap on eBay every once in a while.

That's kinda cool, though the permanent region mod does indeed suck.  I'm also a bit leery of the "as is, no warranty, no return and no refund" comment and the mention of mildew on the screen, considering that mildew growth requires the presence of moisture and an organic food source, neither of which should be present in electronics.

Maybe he was playing turbochips in the 'Nam jungle...."Gunboat" to be specific...

Isn't $300 a bit high for that unit?

A min ty unit regularly reaches north of $4oo, boxed with all port "plugs" could go much higher.

so is this one perm modded for US or does this seller have no clue??? I didn't see any reference to modification, but that probably would have flagged the auction by Ebay.

Wow. I guess that one area of PC fandom i'm unfamiliar with! Didn't realize it reached PS3 prices. Cool unit though.

Here's another one (http://cgi.ebay.com/PC-Engine-LT-Console-Import-Japan-Turbo-Duo-Grafx-Rare_W0QQitemZ150310608976QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVideo_Games?hash=item150310608976&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A1|39%3A1|240%3A1318) that's in similar condition (the case is better but the screen has a nasty blemish).  I bet the high bidders are wishing that they'd pulled the trigger on the buy it now option at $450.  :lol:
