This time I'm not joking. Japan has outlawed the resale of old-school gaming machines created before 2001 as of two weeks from now. They claim it is to protect people from electrical fires, but we all know (and the public knows) it is to promote the sale of retro games on next-gen download services. Even the Dreamcast has been axed. They just killed the retro gaming world in Japan.

To hell with thost fu*kers. *shudder* Imagine if that ever happened here.
