The secret to the US style d-pad is to have a really REALLY light touch. That way you can feel all the action and it becomes sort of clicky. Of course you don’t endorse it but that was what they were trying for, I think. It looks cool.

This is kind of a reply to the whole Payoneer thing with ebay. But do you think it will effect Japanese sellers? If so I might have to buy bunch of Japanese saturn games earlier than I planned to.

You’re either going to be someone who owns a Sega Saturn or not. I wouldn’t let things like PayPal mess with your decision making.

When you see a game you like at a price you like, buy it, or don’t. You don’t need a more sophisticated ethical-strategy system than that for trash culture stuff like this. You’re not adding a Henri Matisse wing to the museum here.

Games will keep being dumped out of Japan, wouldn't worry about that.

Super Potato now has an ebay shop so I wouldn't worry too much not being able to get things from Japan on eBay.
