Maybe they could even add to the fundraiser audio of May comenting the rip to every person that donates and asks for it XD XD
And oh well 90 bucks may not be much considering how out of print anime can get... but it's a step closer.
awkwardness:
Is it weird that I now want to see that?
OK I'm weird...no need to blame it on an anime :D

I suppose it’s possible that he isn’t any more, which is why he’s so willing to part with his CAD.

Maybe he hasn't been caught breaking the law in a way the prevents his crossing the border? He's shifty enough to know the laws, a lot of criminal masterminds are ;)
Then again, wooded areas are easy to cross the border if you know the routes of the border patrols...or so i've seen(seriously, on TV)

While I take your point, that's not evidence of anything much unless they're actually selling at that price.

The way you say "still a collector's item" would, if I didn't know better, lead me to think you believed it is collectible in spite of being famously horrible, rather than because.
BTW its infamy is one of those truthy things that everyone says because every says it, though, right? There are a ton of YouTube videos claiming it's not as bad as people say. Just putting that on record.
Disclaimer: I've never played it myself. I do recall watching a YouTube video of someone who decided to try and play through it. It was pretty amusing, I'll grant you that.

The bigger thing about the game was that it came at the worst possible time: Atari fell flat as the videogame market bottomed out and they lost millions. It was infamous as it was highly touted but in reality it didn't do to well, alongside a lot of other games that came out then. Its gameplay wasn't that good(not bad, but not good either), and within two years it was overshadowed by Nintendo exploding onto the scene. It wasn't hte only game buried in the infamous landfill in New Mexico, thousands of other copies of other games were buried alongside it but it's the most remembered because it's ET.
