Playstation 2 Popegg Printer + Printfan Software [Sale]

Sony's Popegg Printer never really took off in Japan but that didn't stop NCS from importing a few boxes way back in the day. We never listed them for sale for some reason but here they are - dug out from nearly six years of warehousing and ready for shipping. The color on the cardboard boxes appear to have sunlight-induced fading but the printers and accessories inside each box are new, fresh, and ready to print. A USB cable and power cord are included inside the package along with the color ink cartridges and a small amount of Sony EPI printer paper.

PS2 games that support the Popegg Printer include Primal Image, Lake Masters EX, Magical Sports 2001 Pro Yakyu, and a few others. Pricing is set at US$79 + shipping per printer.

Playstation 3 60GB Console Refurbished - [Sale]

A like-new Japanese Playstation 3 console that was shipped back to Japan for repair last year and has sat in storage since then. When this unit was originally sold to a customer, it wouldn't accept any discs into its slotted caddy. The drive would sort of whir and stutter but nothing more than that. Sony repaired the unit on December 19 according to the return/repair slip inside the box. We've tested the unit and it works fine now and eats up PS3 games and Blu-Ray movies like a champ.
Pricing is set at US$389 + shipping. Includes original box, SixAxis pad, power adapter, AV cable, USB cable, and user manual.

Playstation 3 60GB Console Refurbished - [Sale]

A like-new Japanese Playstation 3 console that was shipped back to Japan for repair last year and has sat in storage since then. When this unit was originally sold to a customer, it would lock up after about 45 minutes of play. Sony repaired the unit on December 18, according to the return/repair slip inside the box. We've tested the unit in 90 minute and 2 hour increments and haven't experienced lock-ups.
Pricing is set at US$389 + shipping. Includes original box, SixAxis pad, power adapter, AV cable, USB cable, and user manual.

Playstation 3 60GB Console Refurbished - [Sale]

A like-new USA Playstation 3 console that was shipped from Sony in exchange for a defective PS3 console that was returned earlier this year. The unit has sat in storage since the return but we've tested it and confirmed that it works without issues. We know this unit is different from the console that was returned because the serial number doesn't match the one on the box and the PS3 appears to be a new console but since it's covered in cellophane, we're describing it as "like-new."
Pricing is set at US$395 + shipping. Includes original box, SixAxis pad, power adapter, AV cable, USB cable, and user manual.

Playstation 3 20to60GB Console Refurbished - [Sale]

A like-new Japanese Playstation 3 console that was shipped back to Japan for repair earlier this year and has sat in storage since then. When this unit was originally sold to a customer, it would occasionally exhibit video signal issues (black screen). The customer attempted manual resets which worked temporarily but he didn't get to the point of performing a hard reset. Sony repaired the unit and shipped it back in a brown PS3 cardboard box which we'll use to ship the console.

Note that the console model was originally a 20GB PS3 but we swapped the drive inside for a 60GB HDD. The lid that covers that left side of the console also snapped off but a little bit of glue should get that adhered properly again. Please check the photos for reference.
Pricing is set at US$325 + shipping. Includes original box, SixAxis pad, power adapter, AV cable, USB cable, and user manual.

Blue Dragon Limited Edition Items - [Sale]

When the Blue Dragon game was released in Japan, an Xbox 360 bundle was also unleashed which contained a bonus faceplate and five miniature figures of the main characters in the game. In this case, we've sold the Xbox 360 console and the Blue Dragon game but the bonus items remain. None of the items have been opened or inspected so they're new. We have however taken photos of each individual box. The faceplate is colored black and features an image of a blue dragon that appears to be grinning with gnarly teeth.

Ceramic White PSP Value Pack - [Sale]

A like-new Ceramic White PSP Value Pack that was received by a customer and returned because he thought that Japanese PSP Value Packs were shrink-wrapped. They're not.
So, our loss is your gain since we can't sell this as new anymore. The PSP Value Pack includes the PSP unit, a pair of earphones, the remote, a white carrying case, and a 32M Memory Stick Duo. Everything's in new condition and the accessories haven't been removed from their plastic baggies. We've tested the PSP and confirm there's no dead pixels on the unit.

Donkey Kong Clock - [Sale]

A sort-of-like-new Donkey Kong clock with some scratches on the surface. According to our RMA records, this clock was shipped to a customer last year and it appears to have gotten scratched up in transit. We've taken a photo of the most egregious scratches which are located about the letter "K" in the word "Kong."

From a distance, the scratches aren't apparent but mosey up close and there they are. However, since clocks like this one are generally mounted high on a wall, your guests and visitors might not notice the scratches unless they're looking at it with binoculars.

PS2 Guilty Gear XX #Reload Fighting Pad - [Sale]

NCS originally put the GGXX Fighting Pads up for sale in our first wave of SOTDs a few years ago. We sold roughly 1/2 of our original inventory but there's still a few hundred in stock. So, we're throwing them up again. The controller is a specially designed ASCII fighting pad which works with the Guilty Gear XX Sharp Reload game and other fighting games such as Soul Calibur 2 and Capcom vs SNK 2.
All four main buttons are represented on the face of the pad: "X, O, SQUARE and TRIANGLE" along with "R1" below the "O" and a miniature "R2" above the "TRIANGLE" button.

Graphite Black Nintendo DS [SALE]

An Asian-territory Nintendo DS in graphite-black which is in like-new condition but there's a major problem - there's no sound from the speakers. If you plug in headphones, the sound will occasionally work through the headphones but we can't get it to work consistently. Other than the audio problem, the unit is fine and plays all Nintendo DS games without a hiccup. If you're handy with a soldering iron or whatever, you might be able to fix it but we simply don't have time to poke around systems anymore. Both screens of the NDS are also perfect without any dead pixels loitering about.
Note: The top of the Nintendo DS case has some surface marring as shown in the fifth photo of the item's picture gallery.

Metallic Blue PSP [SALE]

A like-new Metallic Blue PSP that was shipped back to Japan for repair because the UMD drive wouldn't boot any discs fresh out of the box. Sony repaired the drive and shipped it back earlier this year. We have tested the unit with Bleach Heat the Soul 4 and a UMD-Video game titled All Star Yakyuken Battle and the unit boots UMDs fine now. We also inspected the screen and found it to be free from the malaise of dead-pixels. The package includes the Metallic Blue PSP, a battery recharger, and the user manual.

Naruto RPG Gameboy Advance SP [SALE]

A like-new limited edition Naruto RPG Gameboy Advance SP unit that was released a few years ago. Only 7,000 of these were produced for the Japanese market and they're sort of rare. Please note that the Naruto RPG game has been sold and this offer only includes the GBA SP as shown, a power adapter, and a user manual.

Unlike the other hardware offers on today's sale listings, this GBA SP was never returned to the manufacturer for repair. There's nothing wrong with it and it's free of dead pixels. We took out the Naruto RPG game to sell and then shuffled the hardware into storage. The top of the cardboard packaging is slightly pushed in but looks okay.
