Something nice arrived from Japan
Nice.
Because of the "zoomed in" perspective with less knives visible, you get a totally different idea of what the film is about.

Where did you get these from? CDJapan?
I'm a little confused. Does that work like ambilight would or doesn't it? It looks good and if it's as simple as a trip to IKEA then I'm on the next damn train.

Yep, snuck an order in last week. First print of VI seems to have sold out, when I ordered the stock level was barely on double figures.

hope to see more pictures of KH: HD LE
If its the same one i have, its just a set of LEDs that can be hooked up to a control unit that will let you cycle through some colors. I got the same ones (I think)

What does "Remaster Version" mean? Piano? Orchestrated?
Yeah, basically. It has 8 hues and can either display a static colour or cycle through the colours (slow or instant transitions). The only thing I would like for it would be to able to adjust the brightness, but I'm happy for what I spent on it.

So it's not dependent on whatever color is dominant on-screen?
Oh I see what you mean. No, it's not. It's very basic for just $40. There is a control wheel where you choose the colour that the LEDs display.

Looks nice man. I'm thinking of doing something like that myself sometime in the future. How did you attach the led bars to your tv though? Double sided duct tape or something?

Assuming it's the same one that I have behind my TV (sounds like it is), the LED bar is a flexible strip with strong double sided tape attached to the back - you can just stick it to the back of your TV. It's pretty good, although the connection from the strip to the wire is a bit weak and will break if you need to keep unplugging and reconnecting it.
Could you run that by me again???remaster means it has been remastered.
like this but with music.
I know what a remaster is. It just strikes me as a bit weird that they'd remaster a 16-bit soundtrack. I really like the Uematsu Piano Collections so I was hoping for something like that, I guess. These are not that, apparently.
The remasters are just the original SNES tracks rerecorded with higher fidelity. They do sound better if you listen to them side by side. If you want some clarification on semantics, piano/techno/rock renditions of originals are called "arranged." So you're looking for Arrange Soundtracks (AST), as opposed to Original Soundtracks (OST).
Edit: I got mine directly from amazon.co.jp, they ship internationally for 2,000 yen extra (roughly $20).

Yup! Double sided tape FTW! It also comes with screws/mounting brackets if you were putting it onto the panel of an entertainment unit, or I guess the wall. But yeah, I opted to go with the less invasive tape. I do agree that the connectors are a bit weak, I felt like I was going to break one of them when trying to get it into the main "switch" but luckily didn't.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Bought a grip of PS3 games in the last week or two, thanks in part to sales:
Haven't actually considered opening and playing any of them yet.

No way!! Revenge of the Gator is my favorite pinball game ever.
I was just playing my cartridge copy of it the other day and thought to myself, "man, I wish they'd release this on 3DS VC".
Here's hoping it comes out in the US soon!!!

Can I play your copy while you eat?
I'm on the fence about whether or not I should pick it up. What do you think of it so far?

My SOL REPUBLIC Campus General kit arrived!
I'm really loving the JAX earphones. Good stuff!
A remaster usually cleans up the quality of the recording that was hindered by recording quality of older equipment. Sometimes, they play the piece again for a second recording instead of touching up the original, and occasionally they add small things.
Not game music, but this is an example I like to use as the difference is apparent immediately:
Original recording: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOLXT4NjKSk
Remaster: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02q8kPJn_e4
EDIT: Apparently you already knew what a remastering was. I was just clarifying as the first response wasn't very good at explaining it.
I should note that this is my third time buying Skyrim. Once on release day 11.11.11 for PS3, a second time about 6 months later on Steam when I finally got a better PC, and now the Legendary Edition for PS3.. I guess I'm a bit obsessed...

Does the new copy fix all the bugs of the ps3 one? Have they patched it yet? Have the reg copy unopened and really wanna play it sorta
The final patch was 1.9 and it is included in the Legendary Edition. It optimizes a lot of things that was wrong with it, but it's still far from perfect. The DLC comes on-disc, but you have to install each one. I find that the laggy bugs get worse once Dawnguard gets added.. it seems that it adds too much to the main game world which may be too much for the PS3 to handle and things can get messy if you're not playing "smartly" (Ie: not dropping weapons on the ground, etc).

Build quality is OK. It's not 3DS-quality, but it's no letdown either. Backlit screen is really nice. It plays gb/gbc/various other games through built-in emulator. It's not always great though, the NES emu is pretty bad. It comes with a gba-cart into which you plug a micro-sim. You get a 8GB card with the machine. It plays regular legal GBA carts as well. From what I read around the net, it's the best dedicated GBA clone on the market.
It has an annoying save issue/bug, so you always need to quit the games in a 3 step manner.

Running the new Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix
After such nice previous pick-up post of mine, it's such a shame this one is a bad one.
Went to dentist. Already spent 300 and will have to spend at least another 300. That's 600 in less than a Month. No more games for me until the end of November/start of December at least. To make things worst my lady's grandfather passed away yesterday so she had to travel for the funeral.
Guess I'll stick around with my good fellow GAFfers, at least I'll have this amazing, fine Community to help distract myself.
