IDW Banned Banner Group: Banned Posts: 36 Member No.: 14,211 Joined: Nov 2nd 2005 Location: Update Profile | About two years ago , I saw these guys who hang out at the local arcade playing some kind of a racing game. Of course , I didn't mind them but a week ago this machine pulled me for a few minutes. Yes , I'm your usual first timer. Picking a cool sedan ( Impreza ) and everything. I have to admit it's good and ADDICTIVE. Just after a few minutes , I've noticed that my wallet's lost all of its life force. Being an ex-TCG card player , I know what the term ADDICTIVE is and its evilness. Well , I just want to express myself. Here , a game costs around US$ 0.45 and a new card costs around the same. That's why everytime I go to the arcade , I limit myself up to 8 games. |

And cards for 45 as well, unless they are using cheapo self-made cards, real ID cards actually cost the arcade $1 each. If this is real, you are getting quite the deal. |

IDW Banned Banner Group: Banned Posts: 36 Member No.: 14,211 Joined: Nov 2nd 2005 Location: Update Profile | Yes it's 45 cents here. You must have misunderstood my message. I'm living in the Philippines.The card and the arcade game itself are 100% authentic. Cheap isn't it? Well , I'm sorry to say that I'm halfway around the world and our standard of living are different. Look at this , if we make it $1 a game and the minimum wage of an average construction worker is $8 a day....you know what'll happen to the local arcades...... |

Correct. I've lived in the Phillipines as well and it is cheap to play Initial D. I think 100 dollars for 15 thousand pesos. I'm sure it's around 30-45 cents for an ID game in U.S. currency. | ||

This is what I've said before. We're halfway across the world. If I'm not mistaken , in the U.S. teens can get work from a local fastfood or just from plain house chores. But here its quite different. Our school runs from 7-am up to 4-pm. We only have about 2 and a half months of summer vacation and nobody here'll hire a busybody high school student.... | ||
