It sucks cuz after I ordered, Play-Asia bumped the price up $30 on the white one... I got it for $399.99 (I had a bunch of credit there so I paid a lil' over $100)...

Now it's $429.99 :/

I thought those darn things came with Dual Shock 3s too, oh well, I had to get one later on... but no worries ;)

Yeah Ruprit, that's a lot of good stuff. I won't quote it, you don't need a ton of huge pics a couple posts after its original post, but yeah, that's some nice stuff.

Let me know how the DJ Max Portable games are, I loved the demo, is the rest that good?

The only games I ever play on PSP are DJ Max. I wish they were released in the USA. I do like the 1st one quite a bit more though. Not sure why, especially since the music was just as good. They're both well worth the cost of importing them though.

Isn't that monitor $700? It looks badass.

I can't remember the exact price, but it was around there. What happened was my previous monitor broke suddenly. So I wanted one with lots of inputs, nice image quality, and good for gaming (yeah, looking for the holy grail). Unfortunately the list was short and the prices were high. Overall I love this monitor, being able to watch switch to Dreamcast or Saturn, and also work reliably with Photoshop is awesome.

Where did you get it and how much??
Click to expand...

I bought it at arcadeshock.com, for $120. Looks like they are sold out now, but they always seem to get a few in every now and then. They do sell version 3, but I think that it's PS3 only, unfortunately.

My brother has that monitor. The first time I saw it, he asked me to hold it while he plugged in his PS3 and laptop. It felt like if I let it go, the thing would tip over, but the stand is surprisingly well balanced.

Did you get that Saturn new? Damn, the next time I'm in Japan, I got to go over to Super Potato and get me one.

It was a very lucky ebay purchase. The system is in mint condition. The way it was packaged and its condition, I'm guessing the previous owner was really careful with it, or never touched it. I wish I had the opportunity to go to Japan and hunt around... one day.

Your camera seems nice. What kind is it (and how much?:lol )
Click to expand...

It's a Canon PowerShot S5 IS, amazon has it listed at $342. It's a nice camera just to be able to point and shoot and have nice results.

how?

Long story short my GF was getting some Disney cartoons and I was picking up a few other HD DVDs, one being Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. While the cashier was scanning everything I gave him my rewards zone card right before he scanned the ST set. This froze up the register for a few seconds, he preceded to scan Star Trek then Fear and Loathing and asked my GF and I about F&L. He totally did not see the ST failed to scan because the register was busy looking up my reward zone info. We just kept taking about F&L, I think he was stoned or something then got the fuck out of there. I noticed the error immediately, my GF did not get it till I told her in the car.

Funny thing is it even beeped one the way out but I am there so often the security guy looked at me and waved me by :D

Out of curiosity, why did you get the PS3 version of VF5 instead of the 360?
Click to expand...
It was cheaper and I haven't got around to buying a Wifi thing for it, so I was being cheap I am still considering it though best version ftw, no?

Psychonauts (Xbox Originals Version) Much better than I remember. Maybe I'm playing it right? It still took me an hour to find Sasha's lab, just like last time. :(

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn Takes Path of Radiance's lunch money and makes fun of the wart on its nose. Soooo much better. Except for the part where I died four or five times on the second chapter. :( again.

How's that Zune treating you. I'm torn between that and an iPod Touch. I love the new iPod's, but the storage is killing me ahhh!!

iPod Touch is really nice, Storage and battery life are horrid though. Buyers remorse, big time. Just wish they sold Zune in Australia.
