Old Shopping Site - Update

We've abandoned the really old shopping site and we're about to remove the direct link to the shop from our main index. We plan on keeping it up and running since it's indexed by search engines and we might have a use for it in the future.

While backing up all of the shop data over the weekend, we collected some statistics which are listed below. The old shopping site helped us get through some major sales campaigns between 1999 and 2003 including the madness that was the Dreamcast Ikaruga release, Dreamcast Shenmue, and the Playstation 2 hardware launch in Japan. Without further ado, some stats from the old shop:
