well there is ebay, i think last i checked it was $50 for 25Mbps like this. There are many other choices. Hope is not lost!

does that actually work out alright?
Personally I haven't tried it, but I was about to, since my PS3 and switch are across the room from each other. i HATE seeing this ridiculously long cable run across the wall, so it was a viable option for me. Here is an example diagram and information.

Today I put on my robe and wizard hat and went to into town, where I bumped into this great 2 for £30 in HMV:

At first I was going to buy AC: for awnsers and 2100 points in the deal but then I found Grid, I have wanted for game for ages and kicked myself months ago for not buying it when it was in a £20 deal, so for me both of these for £15 each is well worth it.

I also ordered a pc for £452, GTX 260, 4GB ram and a core 2 duo 2.8ghz, ample power for my needs as my 360 and ipod touch are my main gaming device.

That Treamcast has me thinking: has there ever been an attempt from a somewhat relevant manufacturer (Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, SEGA, NEC, Atari...) to make the gaming equivalent of laptops? I don't think we've ever had something halfway between a handheld system and a home system.

Nomad was a portable Mega Drive.

The PSone was kind of like that if you bought the screen for it. Small and light, that console was, actually kinda miss it (though I never had the screen for it).

The Treamcast isn't licensed but isn't a clone like one of those Famicom ones, as it uses original Dreamcast parts inside it.

As for what I traded it for: a collection of old Dreamcast magazines, I think about 35 in total.

holy hell, is that a 3" down pipe?

What car you planning on using? For some reason I'm thinking a 240SX (S13/14)

Oh the downpipe is not in the picture but it is 3". All that's in the picture is the exhaust and it's all titanium. You guessed right though, I'm planning to build a S14. I haven't decided if I'm going to import one from Japan (15 year rule in Canada) or buy one locally.

It's a bit of a up hill climb for me because locally, most of the cars I've gone and seen need a LOT of work or look like ass and they want a lot more then it's worth (just because they did the SR swap).

It isn't terrible. I just wish it wasn't called Die Hard.

also, Mac guy sucks.

it's quite entertaining actually. but yes, basically it's just no longer the Die Hard i used to love.
they should really stop using computer virus as the excuse for every damn movie script these days btw.

:)
 
Nice dralla, I've been sinking time into my TE and think it's honestly the best retail stick available (as long as the PCB doesn't die on you).

the gameboy light pretty much sucks, honestly. the ghosting is horrendous. games are barely playable.

Still cool, though.

Do you live in Japan?

Can you take pictures of the PS3 if you have a chance?

Dunno yet. I have yet to pop it in considering I just got home.

That looks pretty fantastic! Same finish as the MGS console it seems, just different color. How much did you pay and where did you buy? Clearly you are from the west coast.

that sounds amazingly cool, but does that mean you need 2 for one on each socket?

Do you buy all these videogames just to lure children into your house?

Japanvideogames.com (which is down the street from my work) sells it for $700.

Oh wow, I'm up in Los Angeles three times a week at CSULA which is shockingly close to Temple City. I'll have to check out the store sometime. Definitely tempted to go in and pick up Muramasa.
