   Yeah, it's got everything, all in the original plastic bags too. The   
   only thing the package lacks is the actual SW Racer cart, which I don't   
   really care about as I have the DC version.

   Yeah, that's what I had heard.

   Solid, sounds good.

   Hmmmmm, now are you saying that it has the rumble pack *and* a memory   
   card in the same casing? If so, I may go with that instead. I love the   
   "rumble" feature in controllers...it's so gimmicky, I know, but I love   
   it. With the N64, the way you had to remove the memory card and insert   
   the rumble pack, it was just too much, so I did without. Let me know if   
   this is what I think it is, because I'd go with that in a heartbeat!   
   Man, so cheap too, get back to me quick! :)

   Yeesh, yeah, that's something else.

   I think the 30 saves will do me fine. It'll mostly be racers, a lot of   
   the other N64 titles just don't do a lot for me. Once I can remember all   
   the games I got with it, I'll post some thoughts.
