WTF?

Prices are falling everywhere, I guess the MVS is a better route to go.

I thought Slug 4 would be a high profile game.

a member of this board who played the game made a mini review and it sounds bad...

anyway, I'll wait to see it by my self and purchase it if I'm satisfied.

You are comparing an ended auction (MS3) with an auction that has not yet ended (MS4). Besides, the MS4 pictured in your link is a loose bootleg cartridge. They tried to use the pasty white as in KoF ’01.

Yea thats clearly a Metal Slug 4 boot, 300 is even to much. The game just came out, I really doubt people are selling legit loose carts already, also the label looks messed up.

My bad, its weird that MDGamesales will have new kits for $510 when it was released less than a month ago.

Shawn, you played it, give us a review.

Don't jump to conclusions about the game til you get a general consensus. And yeah, that Slug 4 cart looks suspicious to me, not to mention it's cart only. I'll be getting MS4 probably on its home release so I'll be here telling people how I feel about it.

Well here is the story behind the Mysterious White MS4. Bootleg? Probably. But Im telling you they are getting damn good, SNK stamped board. SNK stamped chips. The label is a Hologram label.(check out the Picture). I bought 4 of these carts not knowing for sure if they were boots or not. Well I took a chance. Really didn't think boots existed of MS4 when I got them. Well needless to say I have played A LOT of MS4 to test these carts out. They do play perfectly. I will be honest, I really did not care for it to much. It has its moments, getting to ride in a sidecar was really cool. The problem is it seems they just did not come up with anything original. Same enemies from the past 3. A little Zombies, A little Snow Creatures..... Seems like a "Best Of Game". Kinda like when a Musical Group needs some quick cash. Anyway I like 3 a whole lot more. If you hate aliens though, you will be happy I didn't see one in this version.

I can pretty much guarantee that the seller will never see that money for MS3...

That is, of course, unless the buyer doesn't realize that there are plenty of other auctions that have and will end for 100 dollars cheaper.

Don't be so sure about that, people who bid things way higher than they should often are really eager and pay you twice as fast. I had someone win Final Fantasy Tactics from me for $71 a week ago. The game usually goes for $20. That's the beauty of ebay sometimes... And then there are those sellers who like to practically give expensive stuff away. I got near-mint complete copies of Sengoku, Super Baseball 2020, and The Super Spy for $29. Damn what a profit I made. :D

If MS4 is like a "best-of" Metal Slug game, it'll still be cool I think... I love Metal Slug a lot...

I don't think I've EVER searched for "Neo Geo MVS" on Ebay and not seen a Metal Slug 3 complete kit in the $200 area for buy it now.

How are we supposed to find out if MS4 carts are boots now that they have SNK labeled chips and boards ? (that is, if this cart is a boot)
