First of all, I would rather not be banned so how am I going to post the link to the store if I'm probably going to get banned for it? If the answers is I can then I'll edit my post with the link so you guys can help me out with this.

Story: I was surfing the net looking for a Nintendo Switch for retail price on an online store, I came across this site that had them for $214 which amazed me to how anyone hadn't found this site yet.

I would like to ask if this may or may not be a scam site until someone says thats its ok to post the link to the shop, and I'm too stupid/lazy to analyze it.

Thank You!

[edit]
The store name is ThePlaystationPros, heres the link: *removed, scam* please leave feedback on if its legit or not!

You told us everything about the store except the store name. And you can post a link to a store, just not link to roms.

Did you ever find out if these guys are legit? I was wondering the same thing as I saw some good deals on their site but I'd really rather not throw money to the wind :)

Woah, everything they have is so cheap, even brand new stuff. That sounds quite fishy to me. How can they possibly be legit without at least some shady business going on?

I doubt it. It's not even specifying the actual currency. USD$ or CAD$ isn't even being shown and any online retailer specifies what the price is in CAD/USD

How do I remove this thread? I made this thread in a stage where I was desperate to go buy a Nintendo Switch. I don't want this to show here on this site anymore.
You cannot, Contact the moderators or delete your initial post. Why would you want this to be deleted?

I want it deleted because I alreasy have the answer, and I was in a stage of desperate-ness when I wrote it. Where can I contact a mod to delete this thread?

I closed the thread, but I'd better not delete it if it can help users doing some research to know if they can buy from them.
It's a scam site, don't use it.

I'm sure some users will still use it as if it was advertising :(
people rarely read all posts from a thread.

    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.
    +1
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)
    +1
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds
    +1
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Fun fact @SylverReZ: iirc one of the goals on the fnf Kickstarter stated that pico 2 would be finished but the Kickstarter didnt get enough money for that goal to be fullfiled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, FNF sucks, their community is toxic as hell.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @SylverReZ its a single player game
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, Yea but it has a shitton of mods with their own songs and stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and quite a lot of people involved in those mods get cancelled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Newgrounds wasn't the birth of FNF; rather, it was games where you beat up celebrities and parodies.

  • a_username_that_is_cool @ a_username_that_is_cool:
    FNF was born from Game Jams
  • a_username_that_is_cool @ a_username_that_is_cool:
