Re: Buried "E.T." Atari cartridges found
Yeah, I've heard about that before and read this yesterday - but I (the archaeologist, hah) feel like they could have waited a few more centuries...

I wonder how many will get dug up just to be sold on eBay?

If this is real, which I'm very, very skeptical of, then James Rolfe (AVGN) should be very upset with this. lol His movie was pretty much based off of this.

Oh yes... It's real. LOTS of listings on Ebay. Some of them are as high as $700 right now. I wouldn't be surprised if they go much higher.
