Sure you got your b(its) and B(ytes) right? Mine was 1.2Mb/s which is around 150kB/s. I'm guessing yours is 300kB/s not kb/s.
Anyway very happy with it now. Cheaper than I was previously paying too!

Came with all of the goodies, though I never used the protectors from the kit, went with Sony 2-pack instead.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I'm guessing you own at least half the games featured in that book, by this point.
Heh, I mostly needed it for the Club Nintendo code actually.
Don't worry, the game is ok too. At least worth 5 bucks.

Amazing. I bet you AES will have expensive habits haha.

Picked up 2 copies of Steel Diver today. One for myself, one for my stepson and his 3DS. Couldn't beat the $4.99 price.

Just remember, If she is sleeping on your chest and you just happen to be playing xbox, it still counts as you watching the baby.

Congrats it's some of the hardest work you'll do but the most rewarding. Enjoy every minute!
arrrrrgh freakin Chinese!!! lol
I been wanting an Afterburner ever since I realized I could not only afford one but am smart enough to actually install it!!!
but by then it was too late ;_; but now the chinese are here to save me!!!
There's an alternative way to light the old style GBA with a GBA SP frontlight (the more common gba sp). It's pretty much the same style of light as the afterburner, but more even. It requires disassembling the gba sp screen just to get to the light panel, and then you insert it in front of the og gba screen. There's plenty of tutorials on the internet. Recently I did this to my GBC as well, but it looks pretty bad since I scratched the light panel and I need some anti reflective film on the screen.
Anyway, I don't mean to derail the pickup topic too much, but I just love being able to play classic nintendo handhelds on the original hardware, but with usable screens. My next gameboy related pickup will likely be the original dmg gameboy with a backlit screen.
Edit: Or if you're not into modding your own, you buy one pre-modded from the guy:

Comes out to something like $70 after fees and stuff.

Tetris Battle Gaiden SFC, Sailor Moon SFC and Burning Force MD - got a bug up my ass when they played Tetris BG on GiantBomb TNT the other week, been wanting to pick it up since they played it live last year but whenever it gets streamed the prices on eBay sky rocket. Luckily I got all this direct from a store in Shizuoka on the cheap. The other two are easily overlooked cheap filler for the collection.
LOTR Lego - inexpensive set and comes with motherfucking Gandalf.
Birds of Prey #3 & #4 - not a bad read, enjoying the series.
Great final pickup of my vacation. Another broadcast monitor came up for sale in San Diego, so I went down there and grabbed it. What makes this one interesting is that it is totally brand new. $250 and gas to drive down there. Guy who sold it bought it at an auction when a local school of his closed (has a little sticker on the back that says property of San Diego Community College District)...they had thrown it in when he bought a bunch of weight-lifting equipment. Anyways, it is now a double for me, and one for my place in California! Pretty stoked.
Is that better for running older games or something? Curious what it is used for!Great final pickup of my vacation.

Usually they accept RGB, but even if they don't, broadcast monitors are typically a bit nicer than normal sets, even if they are often a bit smaller.

I literally want to burgle your home right now.
Yeah, RGB via VGA. This one is just VGA and not the lower resolutions. I like them for Dreamcast or shooters on 360. I might try hooking up an XRGB-3 to connect up other older systems to it since that one has VGA in and out (unlike the Framemeister). Plus, old Sony broadcast monitors are just dead sexy, and cosmetically pleasing even when tated.

I own that book, too. Interesting stuff in there. I really need to visit Japan in the future.

Went to the farm yesterday and brought a lot of fruit and veg.
Tasty! Fresh vegetables and fruit like that always tastes way better than the stuff at supermarkets.

Also posted in the Lego thread:
Our netbook died today. So me and my girlfriend decided to get this:
Samsung 8gb Galaxy Tab (with a 32GB micro SD). My shitty mobile phone photos don't do the screen justice - the image on the screen below is pixel-perfect IRL, but looks like shit in the photo I took.
Anyway. It's fucking amazing. £180 was a bargain. It's responsive, fast, powerful and has a tonne of amazing apps (and that's just on the official store!). First thing I noticed online was a Wii remote app. It just connects, automatically. Classic controller too. So, after hunting down some decent emulators...
Runs like a dream. So gooood. Very happy with it.
edit: and before anyone mentions - she chose the font. gahh.
