I'm guessing 10 bucks shipping or more per title.

Shipping is $7.50 per title. Order 5 and only pay shipping for 4.
Not a bad deal, I guess.

You can get all the Capcom Arcade Hits Vols 1 -3 for $20 HERE. (http://www.softwareoutlet.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=GAM-003)
They've got a bigger selection of stuff too.

The catch?  That you're considering buying something from a Spammer.  It only takes one person to order something, and people think they can keep Spamming.

Yeah I agree with Peale - don't buy anything from a Spammer.  Nothing, nada, zip.  That's basically the only way to stop them.

agreed -- no responding to spam!   I thought that I can go directly to the webiste w/o clicking on the email.  But, I see to checkout stilll to enter an email address.  So, I guess that's the catch, either way they have a confirmed email.  Still seems kind of an expensive way to get an emial address though.

Even if you did do that, you're still supporting a Spammer.
