Hey Dork, is the phone Jailbroken?

I jailbroke it and messed around with it, and then restored to normal settings (because i lost my contacts) Now that my phone numbers are backed up I may do it again. It was pretty cool, the stuff you can do is amazing.

yah, that was my impression too, do you think i should grab it for such a dirt cheap price? no games thought, so i'll have to hunt the games down from Ebay.

what good games are on the VB that would encourage me to buy it? i know there is a Wario game(i love Wario), is his VB game anything like Wario Land on the GBA?

well, i don't think it's worth it cuz it hurt my eyes when i tried it out as a kid. but if you're up for it, i highly suggest watching AVGN's VB episode cuz he reviews pretty much most of the games. it seems the only good game for it is Wario and some robot punching game. i think VB games are dirt cheap on ebay so you should have no problems there.

Marwan,

Definitely go for that. I use it for all my Megadrive, Turbo, SNES, NES VC titles and it is a dream. Many other Gaffers use it as well. Reasonable price would be $45 to $50. How much is it selling for there?

Don't know if its the picture of not, but the fake Sony controller, has the SO and NY slightly off, and not straight.


The virtual boy.. you should have gotten it man. The $1 coupon on batteries alone is almost worth it

Sony BDP-S350 Blu-ray player
Gun Nac (cart only) - Famicom

Gonna give the movies a rest on the PS3 and use it mainly for gaming. Also the bitstreamed TrueHD and DTS-HD MA soundtracks sound way better (especially the center channel) since my AV receiver (Onkyo TX-SR805) is handling the sound now.

You should go for a stand alone unit. Much quieter and it puts out less heat than the PS3.
 
Most of this stuff arrived in August, I admit, but I couldn't bear to make this post before the first item on the list was safely in my grasp.

j8o8r7.jpg

Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 Amazon Version - admittedly huge, but strangely comfortable. Will get to work improving my nonexistent skills as soon as Soul Calibur IV arrives.

11rahl1.jpg

My meatier-than-usual monthly haul of EDGE publications. August and September issues arrived in my home country in curiously close succession. Decided to finally purchase the EDGE File volumes 2 and 3 - volume 1 seems to be hard to find nowadays?

nzrrpt.jpg

From left: 1) Arguably the best film to come from my country during this century (not that I expect anyone here to care much); 2) No explanation needed; 3) Andrei Tarkovsky's original interpretation of Stanislaw Lem's classic novel, no George Clooney here!

34efep0.jpg

Basically bought EEE for the awesome cover art, but the game isn't hopeless either. Rondo of Blood is truly heavy on challenge, but who can complain with such polished execution. Not me.

2jcxz08.jpg

A shiny new remote for my PSP-2000 (I must be one of four people on the planet using the PSP for podcasts and music...)

291jij6.jpg

Began the process of collecting videogame soundtracks that have impressed me over the years. This month's haul: Katamari Fortissimo Damacy (legend!) and Okami Piano Arrange.

28ckf0g.jpg

Realised that now is (still) the time to procure brand new Dreamcast games and accessories for a pittance. Jet Set Radio (EU), Space Channel 5 (US), a microphone, a blue VMU and a vibration pack for close to free.

Literature: the fifth Penny Arcade book to join the previous four and the absolutely excellent Okami artbook (US edition).

Sorry for the obscene amount of pictures. I'll try to be more economical next time.

I use my PSP for music as well, picked up one of those things too. (Except from DealExtreme)

Local place had these on sale. Almost a pound of Belgium chocolate for $6! :D

This is a post pick-up thread. No need to apologize for pics. The more the merrier.

That said, had you considered the North American Criterion release of Solaris. I had the old russian release but the Criterion is even better.

And, I like the Clooney version...certainly belongs in anybody's collection.

I'll keep that in mind!

I have considered the Criterion release, but 1) the one pictured was under $10, so it was kind of a no-brainer; 2) my default DVD playback device is the PS3 which is sadly region locked and refuses to accept region 1 DVDs. All the same, I appreciate the recommendation.

To be fair, I like the Clooney version, too. Just not in the same way. :)

I hope you don't mind me quotin ya Marwan :) I know this question was more directed at Lik but I can say for sure that the Wario game is the best game on the VB by far. Yes, it does hurt your eyes and God knows it hurt mine. I got massive eye strain from that thing but boy was it worth it! The Wario Land game is just plain fun period. The graphics, although mostly in reds and oranges are well done. There's quite a few neat-o 3D effects in it too. I honestly thought about buying a VB at that time just for this one game :) I'll put it like this, that game is kind of like the Wario game coming out for Wii in just a few weeks only it's more in 2 1/2 D with some 3D effects thrown in and in shades of red and orange. But by and away the best game on the VB, I'd definitely recommend checkin it out!

Is the 360 really this... white? It always seems to have a sort of grey tone in the stores. Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough

It could just be the new $199 price tag but that looks pretty sexy
Yeah they're white.

Elites, now those are fucking gray.
Well, Charcoal. But not Black.

The flash from the camera may have made it a little more "white" than it really is. But yes, the 360 is a pure, colorless "titanium white".

I like the 'theme' too. We should have a hidden one every month ;)

All in good fun of course.

Kind of an odd update for me.

Conan figurine was under $2 at Half Price Books. w00t!

Lost Odyssey ($35 -25% coupon -10% edge) and Madden 09 ($55 - same discounts) are replacing new copies of the same games I just bought recently. Lost Odyssey was about $40 on Target Clearance, Madden 09 CE for the PS3 was about $62. Saving about 40 bucks by going used and downgrading from CE to regular Madden. :D

the guy offered it to me after discount for $35

my only problem is i barely play VS games, so if anything i'd like to have it as a rare/collector item.

Only the arcade units are albino white. Much like we segregate albino's from our society, the arcade units segregate the casual gamer from the hardcore gamer.
 
Some leftover stuff from August and new stuff as well.

Grabbed these little slinky animals from Hilo Hattie in Kauai for my woman. Cute shit.

Got some hand me down Kenwood front left and front right speakers from my dad. Goes real well with my setup.

After months of lurking, I decided to play too... :D

Some of this are actually from end of August, but hey... I was lazy

zmch87.jpg

2hq9xt4.jpg

PGR4 was 9,9€ from MediaWorld (MediaMarkt), how could I say no?
the others are from play-asia, way cheaper than bought locally even with shipping/customs (they got me this time :D)

jzuo2g.jpg

Bender's Big Score came finally out here!
And my first PS3 game! (I still have to buy it lol), jap version (with online unlike the asia one) and bonus phone strap - good deal from ebay
