check it out.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3075965698&category=41017



notice it's for ultramix. the first screenshot to the right shows what looks like that song by ebony fay, which isn't on ultramix if i remember. also, notice the combo count, with an arrow missed above the four "receiving" arrows, and no arrow rating, like perfect or miss. and the standard sign is yellow. the other songs aren't for xbox either, as standard is blue in ultramix and in the screenshots it's pink.

just another rant. i wonder if the guy is legit or not, and why he would go to the measure of getting a fake screenshot when a real one would be easier...

dude that song is "take me away by 4 strings". its obvious that he used screen shots from MAX2 because the borders surrounding the groove meter and score meter is the same color as that in MAX2.

Yeah um.. That isn't from Ultramix, cause I have it, and the bar at the top isn't squiggly.. It is straight lines. o.o

I don't think this is a "bogus" auction, someone just isn't educated.

To him a screen with arrows is the same game, I take it.

Um yeah, since when is Nonstop in Ultramix? At least he got the songlist right...

And the yellow "Standard" sign is from an early Max2 screenshot. (And I mean reeeeeeeealy early.)

Well seeing as of how this dude is also selling other DDR games he HAS to know something about the stinking game if he's gonna sell them disgust.gif Plus I'm not sure but the Non-stop screen shoot looks like the Naoki Light title on the left was edited in with photoshop or something (I'm weird like that but I'm probably just jumping the gun on that) And how the arrows are sorta off on the screen yet it says 'perfect' with a combo of such and such. Thanks for the wise up Jessus

Look closer, there's a burst on the left arrow where the person hit the arrow with a Perfect. And I can't believe nobody noticed, but in the early screenshot (yeah, the engine probably wasn't 100% working yet, so don't be like "OGFM its teh HOXA!!1!11!!1!elvevn!") it shows a dimmed arrow going off the top of the screen, but it says "6 Combo"

These shots are from DDRMAX2. The guy probably just grabbed some screenshot pics he had and used them in the auction template. Get over it!
