Logitech Z906- Sound is fantastic in games, music sounds like absolute shit.

I bought the Logitech Z623 a couple months ago and really like them. Games, movies and music all sound great. Only thing is that I can't have as much bass as i want since i stay in an apartment. They fill my room up quite well though.

Yay for Kickstarter.

Upgraded to a new flash since my previous one seemed to overheat more than I'd like during New York Comic Con:

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

NES: Rolling Thunder, Commando

NES: Battletoads, Batman Return of the Joker

DC: Crazy Taxi 2, Nightmare Creatures 2

PS1: Spyro, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage

Cruis'n USA (N64), Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon

 

[Bii]

Seeing the box for Crusin' USA brings back memories. It was the one game I got with my Nintendo 64. I really wanted to get Super Mario 64 but my older brother convinced to get Crusin' USA instead since "we always get the Mario games". I fought it for a while but decided to heed his advice. At the time, Crusin' USA was decent and it kept us occupied for months. Of course, I told him off a few years later after having found out how great Mario 64 was (we were only able to pick/buy one or two games a year as we were growing up). Come to think of it, I've never really thoroughly played Super Mario 64. I'll probably look into getting the DS version soon to rectify that.

Harvest Moon 3D: A New Beginning. 15th Anniversary Edition. Nintendo 3DS. $60
The game's release date is slated for November 6th but I got mine early from pre-ordering the exclusive 15th anniversary edition at Natsume's online shop. For an extra $10 to get the 12" cow plush seems like a good deal to me. Now I'll just have to buy the other pre-order bonus Yak separately to "complete" it.

Code of Princess. Sound&Visual CD/Artbook Bonus. Nintendo 3DS. $32
Ordered it from Newegg and they shipped it in a bubble mailer. My box came a bit crushed on the side flap. I don't think I'll be ordering from Newegg for special editions any longer. At least it was $10 cheaper if I were to buy it from another shop/retailer.

Pokemon Black Version 2. Nintendo DS. $35
Pokemon White Version 2. Nintendo DS. $35
Pokemon Black Version 2 and Pokemon White Version 2 Strategy Guide. Collector's Edition. $5
All I've been playing for the past two weeks is Black 2. I just beat the Elite 4/Champion a few nights ago, clocking in at ~35 hours. Now onto the post game stuff. I'll probably start White 2 early next year to catch them all again.

Time to start loading up on PSP games.

Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions

Monster Hunter Freedom
...this is in a fake gamestop case...

Monster Hunter Freedom 2

Phantasy Star Portable

Ultimate Ghosts N' Goblins

Dave Chapelle: For What It's Worth
I bought this because it was a dollar and the case was in pristine condition. I figure I can watch it once, switch the cases with Monster Hunter, and never touch it again.

I also got something else.
As you may know, this was in the PSP when I got it.

Note the destroyed case.

I found these replacement cases online which are supposed to work great. A 3-pack was 99 cents!

I got it, and... hey, cool. I got 5 in the pack. Nice.

So I put NBA Live in.

It doesn't load.
I mess with it for ablout 30 minutes and can't get it to do anything.
I pop Monster Hunter out of its UMD case and replace it with NBA Live. It reads instantly.

Frustrated, I decided to look at my other games, and...
Monster Hunter 2 is also in a replacement case. It came from gamestop like that. Except something is odd. It fires up and plays right away like a normal game. The case feels a lot heavier, closer to an official one. It feels a lot more sturdy.

Comparison shot.

Turns out that the case on Monster Hunter is by a company named MMR (Multimedia Replacement) and what I got was a cheap chinese knockoff that was advertised as an MMR.

You can see their logo on the official product.

The MMR is on the right. Note the clips and the quality plastic. The MMR is designed so you just pop a game in the top and don't have to snap the two sides together at all.

I'm going to contact the seller tomorrow to try to get a refund. A quick google later and I found a post that said that if you contact MMR and tell them what happened they'll send you some real cases, so I'll see where that goes.

So... you bought a 3-pack of PSP cases for $0.99 on Ebay, expected them not to be Chinese knock-offs, and now are taking the time to try and get a $0.99 refund? Am I reading this correctly?

I'm fairly positive they had almost none left of the O-Ren after the gallery which is why they sold out so fast.

Wouldn't that be nice? I have serious doubts that my 60GB BC PS3 lasts long enough to actually play all the PS2 games I have been amassing -.-

I missed out on most ps2 games, so i love those HD remasters and ICO, SoC, wish they bring more though, and if they are not planing on it the should dump the best ones on PSN, instead they are adding some bullshit disney games, they could use their massive ps2 collection to help sell their ps3's
