What in the SWEET MOTHER OF AWESOME is this beautiful machine!? I've heard of the Suikoden IV pachinko machine, but I can't imagine how much something like this would cost (or where you would find one for sale)! Do you mind sharing? :O

That has to be a contender for the craziest goddamn thing posted in one of these threads.

These are kinda like slot machines that give out tokens for prizes right? I've heard people develop pretty debilitating addictions to playing them. Watch Out!

Also, now that I've got another poster to throw up I've finally got a reason to take my Stout Star Wars down and replace them with these:
I'm never quick enough to new posters on mondotees.
Just subscribed to their newsletter. Hopefully that helps.By the way, where do you get your poster frames? Those look nice.

Nice, I picked that up recently (EU version too!). Really liked what I played of it and want to dig into it some more, might rock it Super Game Boy style
Though it's one of those retro games I wish I'd played as a kid, it really would have captured my imagination back then. Especially with that amazing overworld theme!NathanMcMahon

Pure creepiness...
I've been wanting these since they were first put onto Club Nintendo. I finally, FINALLY was able to get them, thanks to my friend letting me register his 3DS as well as my own.
Currently trying to beg more friends for more codes so I can get another set for my best friend who also loves AC.

My wife crocheted the Harley Quinn doll, and of course I had to pick up The Big Lebowski on Blu-Ray.

Well, it did come from Japan, but I didn't handle the importing. I used www.custompachinko.com. Shipping is free, prices are, in my opinion, affordable, and if you are looking for something else, you can email them, and they will see if they can find it for you and give you an estimate. Service was great, and they were willing to inspect the machine to make sure it met my standards (I have a crippling affliction where dead or stuck pixels hurt my very soul, ha ha). You can see what I paid on their website, they are sold out of Persona 3 for now though.
Here is a youtube video of it in action. It's not my video, but hopefully it will still be okay because the pictures I posted are mine.

Pachinko uses steel balls instead of tokens, but yeah, they have parlors in Japan where you play for the balls and then exchange them for prizes.
I also ordered a Biohazard Pachislo machine from the same website. Those may be what you are thinking of, they use tokens or "medals". I don't have any pictures of it handy, but here is a video of it. Again not mine, hopefully I'm not breaking a thread rule here, but it's so cool!

I'm not affiliated with custompachinko.com, but I do recommend them!
Here is also a forum with a ton of good info on both types of machines:

So close.
Though, I may hoard them until something else cool comes along.

QanBa RAF4 - For the steady onslaught of fighting games I will need to play in the next few months. No console is safe.
Zelda OoT 3D OST - I don't remember the soundtrack being as chill as it is, but I still love it :3

A few Move pickups for cheap on amazon.co.uk - The fight is amazing in 3D with the correct setup.
Random colors Yoshis
M&M's dispenser, drooling Yoshi not included
Third Strike Preorder. Wednesday can't come soon enough !
And to go with the upcoming 3.3, Tatsunoko Stick
Mayflash adapter to go with Tatsunoko Stick
Finally able to subscribe to Netflix thanks to the thread of VPN on GAF.
Interface is slick, quick, awesome video quality even in Europe with DNS-VPN, and there is soooo much to watch (currently on Mad Men and Friday Night Lights, both excellent shows)
New PSP-Go with soft pouch.
The go is perfect for me, totally in love with the hardware and software (currently Hot Shots Tennis, Peace Walker and P3P)
PSP-Go dock from dealextreme. Better than the original and muuuuch cheaper (came with official documentation and packaging too, weird)
5 year collector edition of AA Eneloops.

Man that pachinko thing is the best thing ive ever seen. and theyre only $500! i want one! the only problem is shipping.
To the guy that bought it - how much does it weigh? does it arrive preassembled?is it just one plug to the power and it works?
also - how do you play it and what does it do?

Essentially the connectors. This dock has a mini USB port on the back, to charge the PSP with a classic mini USB cable on a USB port or on sector with the adaptator included with the GO. It also has two outputs, one for the YUV and one for the RCA exit.
So basically, if you use a USB splitter you can have everything always plugged and do video output, recharge on sector, or USB data transfer (and recharge) without plugging/unplugging cables.
It also comes with two adapters (YUV and RCA) allowing you to use your own cables without buying the expensive official ones, and has a switch allowing to change the video output (not sure if the official one has it or not ?)
You can see the connectors HERE

Jesus tapdancing christ, from France ?!? I demand an idiot proof link !
Pretty please
Are movies/series subtitled ?
BaronLundi said:
Oh yes baby, your Jesus can tapdance, that's real !
I'm currently using unblock-us , it's a DNS solution and it works like a charm.
There is a trial, you should try it. You change the DNS of your router, or console, or iPhone according to if you want a general thing or not, and you're good to go. No loss of connection speed, it's a blessing.
Be sure to go to Netflix AFTER having changed the DNS and restarted your router.
And for subtitles, most of the shows/movies i've watched are subbed, in English of course.
Feel free to ask if you need assistance

Found the thread. Already got a PS3 US account and since I don't have a router I might try just that... So basically you'd pay about 5$/month on top of Netflix subscription ?
Gonna try anyway, but I'm not sure my internet connection will hold up for hd content (no fiber yet, and PS3 is hooked through so-so CPL).
Merci a lot !

Yep, 5$/month and Netflix sub.
For the bandwith, I was pleasantly surprises by how smooth and intelligent the streaming is.
It constantly adjusts to the available bandwith between 6 level of quality/resolution, to get the max available.
And High/HD quality is really impressive.
It's my first stick, but I find it heavy, responsive, and overall of good quality. Word on the net is that at this price it's a really nice starting stick, with some nice quality parts, and easily modable if you care.MYE said:
With the Mayflash adapter that I pictured too, I can put it on PS3, Wii, and PC too, so it's a decent combo, unbeatable at that price.
Edit : woops, slightly beaten
Paid 11£ for the stick on sendit btwPalaceBrother
