You think that is bad luck. A few years back I dropped a 100 watt lightbulb and it landed right on the back of my upside-down MGS Dualshock, which was on the ground. Scratched up the back as the bulb exploded on it. Rotten luck! I eventually donated the whole 40GB MGS PS3, with slightly scratched controller, to my brother anyways. He still uses it as his Hulu and Amazon Prime player to this day.

These are the most comfortable headphones (Sony MDR-XB500s) I've ever worn. I primarily use MDR-V6s, but I bought these specifically for listening at home and wearing for longer periods of time. They feel like two pillows on my head, and the cushions fit my ears perfectly. Not as great sound-quality-wise as the V6s, but the bass is excellent and I'm far from an audiophile anyway.
I'm wearing the MDR-XB700 right now and loving it. Enjoy them!

Into this:

And eventually, into these:
Horse Detective
Why the long case?
Lmfao
You mean he made that poor cat do all the work?

No, he turned the cat into a fitness machine

I hope this is a joke going over my head.
that looks sweet! do you have a link
The cost is mostly due to how large the posters were. UV acrylic was $220 by itself.

Or in the case of my sister in law's, pee on everything new that it sees.or sit on it so you cant put it together
Like my suitcase, or my shoes. Which are now in the bin because you can't get the smell out.
Stupid cat.
My recent pickups:
Japanese Club Nintendo goodies (three pouches and an 18 Gamecard case) and Paper Mario Super Seal for my 3DS
Close up on the message on the pouch:
Any chance you have one of the American reversible pouches to do a side by side comparison with these? Mine has moved to my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and now I need something for my 3DS. I got the blue one and my girl got the red one from the American club Nintendo catalog. Was just wondering if this one is the same size.
Nope, sorry. Should be the same size, though.
My favourite cola drink bar none.
Cherry Pepsi is not easy to come by in the UK, I got that from a specialist sweet shop. The stuff in the bag is cream soda. Yummy.
I've been waiting a very long time for this.
Such an incredible book. It's by far the coolest 'bonus' item I've ever had.
iPhone 5. 32GB. Beautiful device.

Yea these went quick, I wasn't taking a chance since I miss the last retro's

I've got the XB700's and they are my favorite headphones. Very comfortable and used to death. I'm hoping to upgrade to the XB1000 which are larger but a dat price tag.

Wait, Totoro and Howl's Moving Castle are on blu-ray in UK? Importing asap, Disney takes too damn long to release them in the US.

They are both Region B locked, but yeah been out a while.
I've got Whisper of the Heart and Laputa: Castle In The Sky on the way too.
OMG first time noticing it, it's enormous.
Ah, I did a little digging and it seems they are indeed locked, bummer.

Where did you get them framed at? That's an absurdly high price for basic frames.
prolly not basic. The glass is usually very expensive if you get the best quality.
Well, looks like he made an attempt at preservation, given the sigs and stuff. $750 is really not that bad for a custom large size, UV and acid protection, and a non-destroying type of mounting. $1500, and he has two gorgeous pieces to proudly hang in his living space.

The wood itself is some high quality one or atleast the more expensive of the two options presented. The acrylic was the highest grade they offered, it's not glass due to the size and weight.
The framers presented a full breakdown when they gave me the price. That said, could they be ripping me off? Sure they could. When I initially got the posters I took it to a different framer and the other framer flat out said they couldn't frame the posters due to the size and said if I took it someplace else it would run $500(and that was probably without the preservation UV protective acrylic). However again it is possible I could have gotten it cheaper somewhere else I fully admit, as I'm not that familiar with custom framing pricing.
Not in living space. It's in my study/office. I have to order a desk in the next couple of months actually. My understanding is that the price got so absurd is because of just how brutally large they are.
The damn things are enormous, here's a better picture in regards to scale. The first couple didn't do it justice.

Ah, I didn't realize how large they were. Not sure why it didn't register for me when I originally read your post. For some reason I thought thought they were a lot smaller. Pretty awesome posters dude!
Thanks, it was a perfectly valid question. I had a bit of sticker shock too when the framer told me the price.

I love those covers. Are they region-free?
My new Virtual Boy came today. Came with Mario Tennis and Golf for $80. I have more VB games coming soon. Didn't come with power adapter, but luckily the SNES cable can work with it. So I just need to find another SNES power adapter so I don't need to share my current SNES's one.
