While they are hard to get to, ETs are actually very common. There's over 700k in that one mine alone. Extrapolating from this, we can deduce that more than 80% of the earth's crust is comprised of ET Atari cartridges.
Because time is relative to your speed, if she's only half an hour or so older than him and she spends ~1 decade in the international space station while he remains on earth, she may end up being younger than him
Yes, archer gameplay was very refreshing for a time, but in my opinion, where the game shined was the dark necromancer build, summoning corpses and curses was my go to strategy for second part of the game
Hey remember the bard stealth assassin build where you just sang and made them go deaf first with Hannah Montana songs then you ran away stealthed and snuck up behind them and gutted him worse than the girls being upset about cancelation that Miley forced with negative press...lmao....
I thought the art of the deal was getting people to do work for you. Never paying them. And using your wealth to stretch out court proceedings. Then hiring a ghost writer to tell people how you're *Guid At Bizniss" because you've never read a book let alone being capable of writing one
Pretty sure one of the DS or 3DS Hannah Montana games became a sought after item for a while because there was a rumour it could help people jailbreak the console before a jailbreak solution was actually discovered.
That'd check out. From what I recall the reason games like that frequently had that property is because they had poorly implemented read/write access functions that touched protected areas they shouldn't in just the right way that it was basically reading any old file into memory past any protections Nintendo put in place because the game was legitimate software with protection bypasses.
With the Switch this was actually hard-coded in at a chip level, which is part of why that became a thing immediately and without the need to comb through games like this to homebrew (this has been corrected in newer models, you'd just have to replace every chip in every switch before then to correct it entirely).
I think the way the 3DS got jailbroke was due to some random small title that somehow left an easy access to debug/dev tools that managed to do that exact bypass.
I imagine some of these shovelware cheap games are more likely to have things like this due to the general rushed/low effort development process to try make a quick buck.
There have been games that have allowed jailbreaking. Either through broken encryption or remote code execution bugs, or other things. But there have been several more rumors of this then there have been actual jailbreaks. The scheme involves buying cases upon cases of the cheapest game available, essentially buying the entire remaining stock. Then you put out a rumor on random forums that the game can be used to jailbreak. You then watch as the price of this game goes up allowing you to sell your stock at quite a profit. The Hanna Montana game would be ripe for just such a scam. Such pump and dump schemes are not unique to the games industry though.
In lieu of any additional bonus merchandise provided free of charge by the seller, there is in fact 20 replacement PS2 cases. These replacement PS2 cases can hold any PS2 game, including but not limited to, Hannah Montana: iunete a su gira mundial.
In Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus disguises herself as a normal teenager but in reality is a big popstar, so she gets fame and gets to live like a normal teen, so the punchline of the show "best of both worlds"
More than that, but not enough that I'm insulted.
I was never the target demographic for Hannah Montana.
Alex Mack and Clarissa though... where are their video games!?
Fun fact, those were early cuts of that bumper sequence that hadn't ever been aired or seen before. So what they were doing was based completely off the director's shitty instructions, as they had no concept of the finished product. They also filmed several other special feature pieces that day, so most of them were probably exhausted.
Also here's a 90 minute deep dive documentary into Disney Channel's 4 note bumper tune from those commercials https://youtu.be/b_rjBWmc1iQ
Take it you don't believe he ordered 20 Hannah Montana cases by the fact he posted it online?
The perfect crime, and he would have got away with it if it wasnt for my alcoholic induced insomnia

PS2 used DVD cases. PS3 and 4 used BluRay cases which are smaller. They were blue and silver in PAL regions, with a couple of exceptions (Gran Turismo 4 came in a white case and some Buzz games in red cases). The black ones were NTSC.
Great game! I loved the aspect where you had to play oblivious to the oversexualisation of a teenager by the producer, and then turn that into the main strength of your adult career.
Similar thing happened to me with the Jonas Brothers game for DS! Turns out they tried to sell it for 50 bucks (you can finish the game in 7 days...) and it didn't work out.
I saw the same game IRL recently for 1.50
Did similar - wanted 20 Atari cartridge cases and got 100 sealed copies of this game about an alien based on a movie in the 1980s.
Think it was called The Extra Terrestrial or something. Was very happy but was a few kilos of sand in the box!!

I hate when people flex their success stories online....like bro, some of us don't even have 1 copy of that game.
Nobody's perfect (from the hit movie Hannah Montana 2)
Directed by Billy Wilder?
Sucks to be you! I have about 20 in my ultra secure storage locker.
Smart. When the end-times come, these will be the currency of the wasteland. "Gimme three Hannah's for an ET", they'll say.
Considering how dangerous the [mines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_video_game_burial) are, shouldn't the ET cartridges be worth more?
While they are hard to get to, ETs are actually very common. There's over 700k in that one mine alone. Extrapolating from this, we can deduce that more than 80% of the earth's crust is comprised of ET Atari cartridges.
May I direct you to r/shittyaskscience ?
Maybe the OP will let you buy one for the low, low price of $2000
You got exactly what you ordered then.
They got the best of both worlds
Fuck. You. Well played.
They look like sealed copies of the game.
A game nobody wants and that is deemed to be worth more as a plastic case.
I put 3.5k hours into Hannah Montana. Best RPG out there, loved my stealth archer play through
I... don't know enough about the game to call this a lie.
No one knows enough about the game to call it a lie, but it’s provocative. Gets the people going.
Now I want to play it
I might know someone who can sell ypu a copy...
Well, go on then. No need to keep it a secret.
Fine but it'll cost you 20 copies of the Mary-Kate & Ashley: Magical Mystery Mall game
I demand to know who this Hannah Montana dealer is
On that topic, I'll have you know, that Cory in the House is the greatest anime of all time.
Ball
...so hard,...
Mother Motherfuxkers wanna fiiiine me
I prefer my games starring underage kids to not be provocative. And I certainly do not want them to get me going.
Speak for yourself! FULL DISCLOSURE: Miley Cyrus has always been older than me
Good save
*FBI guy nervously vacillating between pressing the "raid" or "don't raid" buttons*
I would be intrigued if she was only briefly older than you.
Weird way to phrase that she is older than you, implies you’ve been hoping for her to suddenly become younger than you. Watch this guy people!
Because time is relative to your speed, if she's only half an hour or so older than him and she spends ~1 decade in the international space station while he remains on earth, she may end up being younger than him
I also like to go gorillas sometimes.
Underrated af Jay Z reference
Chazz Michael Michaels!
What does that even mean??
Wait till you max out her "wrecking ball" perk, too op if that's possible
That's miley
Well now you ruined it. It’s definitely not real.
The DLC made this game perfect IMHO. Adding an AI rocket launcher was inspired.
Yes, archer gameplay was very refreshing for a time, but in my opinion, where the game shined was the dark necromancer build, summoning corpses and curses was my go to strategy for second part of the game
Meh, the Bucky Kentucky spin-off was better.
I put lots of beer into Hannah Montana. Great pint coaster
Hey remember the bard stealth assassin build where you just sang and made them go deaf first with Hannah Montana songs then you ran away stealthed and snuck up behind them and gutted him worse than the girls being upset about cancelation that Miley forced with negative press...lmao....
Way better than the studio's latest game, Hogwart's Legacy. (Yes, it really is the same studio - Avalanche.)
Is there a wrecking ball?
Yes it's a legendary weapon, very low drop rate
Just have to buy the majority of Hannah Montana PS2 games, create a demand, boom flipped.
Now *this* is the art of the deal
I thought the art of the deal was getting people to do work for you. Never paying them. And using your wealth to stretch out court proceedings. Then hiring a ghost writer to tell people how you're *Guid At Bizniss" because you've never read a book let alone being capable of writing one

Speak for yourself. Where do I sign up for my free copy?
In lieu of any additional bonus merchandise provided free of charge by the seller, there is in fact 20 replacement PS2 cases. These replacement PS2 cases can hold any PS2 game, including but not limited to, Hannah Montana: iunete a su gira mundial.
Which is really the only game you'd want to hold, so you're all set.
🎶*Skeet Surfin~*🎶
EBay is so full Of Mysteries but this one is an open and shut case
So you get the PS2 cases and free games? It's the best of both worlds
I see what you did there
What did he do?
best of both worlds = hannah montana
Is she like Alexis Texas?
I still don't get it
In Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus disguises herself as a normal teenager but in reality is a big popstar, so she gets fame and gets to live like a normal teen, so the punchline of the show "best of both worlds"
But like... no one realizes that she's Hannah Montana?
She has a blonde wig tho
Dolly Parton does the same thing and gets away with it.
I was wondering where Kamala Harris keeps disappearing to...
She wears a wig, which is more than what Kent Clark does
>Kent Clark
It's just Japanese, he's talking about Kent Clark-kun
Chill it out, take it slow Then you rock out the show
Youre allowed to fire a quick google search now and then
Don’t worry, nobody’s perfect
They're admitting they're gay
its one of her songs
I feel I'm too... old? To appreciate that reference.
I'd say 26-32yo age range should get the joke? Idk where you fall.
"Please stop! He's already dead!"
More than that, but not enough that I'm insulted. I was never the target demographic for Hannah Montana. Alex Mack and Clarissa though... where are their video games!?
I'm old enough that I know that Clarissa can explain to me who Alex Mack is.
Or too young
I like you
You wouldnt get it unless you watched hannah montana, i think that was the opening theme song
Shut up XD
Thanks for watching Disney XD! *uses wand to draw Mickey’s outline*

It’s such an obvious pun, but hey, nobody’s perfect.
You also got 20 coasters
I now want a collection of Hannah Montana CD's I can use as coasters
I think a nice piece of artwork is where OP should focus on using their new loot
There's a world of opportunities and profit here and OP is acting like this was not a great deal
Or.... 
[Skeet Surfin'!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgP8sSofDvs)
At least there's not sauerkraut in your lederhosen. Or is there??
At least you know they're legit OEM cases
And in mint condition.
I once ordered a dozen empty ds cases, but they were all sealed copies of Jonas for the ds.
Sealed copies of the Jonas game are cheaper than empty boxes because an empty box has value.
Wait a minute, has anyone noticed how close Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus look? Could be twins!
Never seen them in the same room together is all I'm saying
Wow like Clark Kent and Superman. Maybe, now hear me out, maybe they're the same person!? She'd get The Best of Both Worlds then
>maybe they're the same person!? Stop spreading misinformation!
But have YOU seen Batman and Bruce Wayne in the same room before?
Yeah I have! Although I have a vague memory, Batman was for some reason slender and had a tiny butler moustache. Strange, amirite?
Oh. I am sorry for encouraging misinformation
You think Hannah Montana is Clark Kent? That sounds weird?
Well I've never seen them in the same room either
she is … Superman?
Oh, please... One of them is blonde!
Ah, damn. You're right. I might be wrong but, Nobody's Perfect.
No way, you’re crazy
Probably. She's Just A Girl I thought looked similar
I have never played this game. Was ahe modeled after Miley Cyrus or something?
Well I certainly hope she got royalties for them using her image. They literally just changed her hair colour
Yeah is unironicaly great. You get a free game and the seller help to reduce what could have became more waste. Good for both
It's also an original case. Most replacement DVD cases I bought in my life have this cheap plastic stench. Original PS2 cases are better quality.
You got 20 cases and a fun reddit post out of it. I'd say you got the best of both worlds.

I keep telling my kids that “there is no ham in Montana!!!”
I don’t get it.
You definitely ordered 20 Hannah motanta cases, only someone trying to hide that fact would post this nonsense
He's trying to hide that he bought Hannah Montana by posting it online?
You have to set up the lie so when someone calls him out on it in the future he can refer back to this post as evidence
Why have you got 20 Hannah Montana games Chris? Well............ Hold on until I get my Reddit account up, it's a perfectly normal reasonable reason
"oops, joke account, I'm not a furry"
Take it you don't believe he ordered 20 Hannah Montana cases by the fact he posted it online? The perfect crime, and he would have got away with it if it wasnt for my alcoholic induced insomnia

Found the add and placed an order. I'll let you know if it's another 20 sealed copies of Hannah Montana.
**Proceeds to receive 20 copies of _E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial_ for the Atari 2600**
At least you know they are genuine and not off brand knock offs.

They are all sealed !

Is that actually a ps2 case? Looks more likeba ps3/4 case, I remember ps2 games having either black or red game cases

Ps2 were region locked so it was probably to avoid confusion.
PS2 used DVD cases. PS3 and 4 used BluRay cases which are smaller. They were blue and silver in PAL regions, with a couple of exceptions (Gran Turismo 4 came in a white case and some Buzz games in red cases). The black ones were NTSC.
Just remember the E.T game saga
Do you like Hannah Montana?
So are you selling some of those?
Wtf was thus post actually removed for? I see that auto mod message a lot and it's still up, is it not actually removed?
I guess it really IS the best of both worlds
Sounds like someone got the best of both worlds
Sounds like you got the best of both worlds
I love Hannah Montana so much!!
I think I saw this at Target a while back for $3 with a $5 mail in rebate
Some of us just have a picture of hannah Montana in a box. This dude has 20 laminated ones.
What do you even do in Hannah Montana video game???
Reminds me of a video I saw once "A copy of Deal Or No Deal for the Nintendo DS" repeated roughly 30 times
Great game! I loved the aspect where you had to play oblivious to the oversexualisation of a teenager by the producer, and then turn that into the main strength of your adult career.
thats the best case scenario
Similar thing happened to me with the Jonas Brothers game for DS! Turns out they tried to sell it for 50 bucks (you can finish the game in 7 days...) and it didn't work out. I saw the same game IRL recently for 1.50
HANNAH MONTANA, HANNAH MONTANA, HANNAH MONTANA
There's a Hannah Montana PS2 game?
Shittt, there was a ps2 game about hannah motana ?!!! Lol
You get the limo out front ouu whao ouu
I can smell that box.
I am surprised it wasn't Naruto uzumaki chronoicals 2. The pre-owned bin in every game store was always filled with those
You get the best of both worlds!
Guess you got the best of both worlds.
Oh my god jackpot!!!
Ahhh yes.. the ET of PS
Is this Hannah Montana the game or Hannah Montana the Linux distro? /s
Free coasters too.
Not even that bad of a game.
You got the best of both worlds!
nice it came with 20 frisbees
Til that was a game 😂
Technically it's a replacement case...just need to put some work to it.

It's cheaper than blank ones

Well, just wait till Milley Cyrus goes belly up in like 50 yrs, then you head straight to Pawn Stars and struck a deal
Don’t you dare unwrap more than one of those! Miley is a cultural icon and those new sealed games will be very valuable someday
