It comes with a headphone jack wire that you can plug into any headphone socket and the other end into the headphones and it plays the sound that way.
No virtual surround sound using that feature, but the base still works along with the fact they dont need to be charged if your using the wire like that.
You can also plug the USB stick into a TV and then run the wire from your TV you the USB stick and transmit the sound that way as well.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Some cracking pick ups here like always.
As for me, recently got these beauties;
BATTLE BAKRAID PCB;
I'm starting to feel like the only dude left who doesn't have this game. And it's not a good feeling.

Congratulations! You have so much awesome ahead of you.
Hello GAF,
first posting from a longtime lurker!
BTW, nice thread series.
Here are my pickups from June/July, so far:
I am having so much trouble finding good DS games.
I've actually picked up some very rare SNES and GBA games on Craigslist, but I'm only finding shovelware for DS.
Its frustrating.

It's becoming impossible to find a decent sling or shoulder bag for under $40. So I started looking for a lightweight, no-frills, medium-sized backpack.
I found almost exactly what I was looking for while waiting for my wife at the mall yesterday.
(3DS XL for size reference)
I saw it hanging on a mannequin at the Oakley shop and it took me forever to find the actual item for sale, because it collapses into this:

When I first played the game years ago, (some time after getting Garegga on the Saturn) I was pretty unimpressed by it.
Years later, following the likes of Ibara - which I grew to love (it was hard love), I really started getting a craving for it, especially since watching a few superplays and messing around on MAME.
I guess it may well be flavour of the year for this game, no doubt a year or two down the line people will be getting shot of it.
Give it an extensive blast in MAME and watch some superplays and see if you really 'need' it in your life.

Hey guys & gals. Long time reader of GAF but this is my first post! (my account just got validated the other day)
For some reason I love checking out this thread. Seeing people's latest pick ups with actual pics instead of stock photo's is pretty cool. Some of you guys have got some mighty rare stuff recently!
Anywho, So far for July I managed to get:
- The Sky: The Art of Final Fantasy
- Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin Vol.2
The Final Fantasy Artbook set is simply jaw dropping. I was well pissed that I was unable to get the first printing (despite having a pre-order for several months). So I could not pass this second printing (minus the signed autograph and extra books).
The Sky: The Art of Final Fantasy
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin Vol.2

I'm really torn on whether to get into this or not. I assume you're digging it?
I think you should post your purchase (download list, account manager, purchase...), because of this:

Right I forgot about that, I'll fix it later when I get home if it's an issue.

I got this killer GZ poster today. I have an extra one in case anyone is interested.
It's totally authentic and, as far as I know, it's pretty rare. I know there's at least one other similar version out there (which is double-sided), but this one here is, again, pretty rare. It was used by Konami as signage at an earlier PAX convention, and at special events in honor of the 25th anniversary of the series.
Super high quality stuff. I can't wait to get it framed!

That's awesome but I hope you washed off the dirt afterwards.

The seller just accepted my offer on Ebay.
This is not what I'm getting though, because it'll be sealed. Got it for 38$.
For those who don't know it has a early demo of FFVII that came out a while before the game's release and it has this FFVI Remake Siggraph tech demo pretty much representing what Square could have achieved back then on the N64. I think it's worth the money just to have this video on it's official disc.

To be honest. I have yet to read volume 1 let alone 2!
I have this habit of collecting Manga i'm really interested in in bulk, then just binge through them in one day. The main reason I'm more eager on collecting this Gundam series is that i've read that this release is getting a limited print run so I didn't want to risk not being able to buy it sometime down the line.

The Sky: the Art of Final Fantasy
L+R are reprint editions, with the original first print (English) edition in the centre (only the reprints were recent pickups). You can't really tell in this shot, but the original is larger/heaver than the reprint, obviously due to the extra content.

Where did you preorder through? Seeing yours and the other person's made me finally pre-order it through amazon. Would love to get it sooner.

Huge lot I grabbed off ebay just came in. Not bad for $100 shipped, even the custom cases are cool (all games are in real nice shape). Odd lineup to get custom cases for though... Still for just over $2 a game no was I would pass it up.

I pre-ordered mine via BookDepository. I'm based in the UK so I got it quicker considering they are based in the UK.
Although they do offer free worldwide delivery but I have no idea how reliable that may be.
If you want it ASAP i suggest you order from them now. They have it in stock and it is cheaper than amazon surprisingly!

Whoa. BTW, how comes you picked up two copies of the reprint? For collectors purposes?

Well, I had a copy ordered with Amazon since the day the reprint was announced at the start of this year. However, all of a sudden copies started turning up for sale on ebay locally, so I went ahead and bought one in case Amazon/Dark Horse messed up again. Before I know it, Amazon start shipping a few weeks prior to the long-standing official release date. So I'm leaving myself with a reading copy and yes, one to tuck away in the collection. Saying that, my first print copy is still sealed - I'm too intimidated to open the damn thing!

it's beautiful
1st of all, welcome!
The Sky is a really stunning set, isn't it? I picked up the original printing and it was worth every penny. Really glad they gave it a re-print because it sold out really fast in the pre-order phase. ><
I got it on RedBubble, though I do have an extra small size if you can fit it since they accidentally sent me 2.
