    Got a pack of those feet before, quality is ok on them. You might find 1 or 2 of them not tapped properly but still usable with a bit of brute force.

    Got them on ebay though.

    US PSN (PS3 version, I guess I gotta add) is selling Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for a ricockulously cheap $4.99. They're also got Gunstar Heroes going for the same, if you're looking as to what to do with the other $5 of your unavoidable $10 code. There's Psychonauts too, if, for some mad reason, you've not lapped it up thus far.

    You can purchase over here:

    https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-us/sale-of-the-dead/cid=STORE-MSF77008-9_SALEOFDEAD14G

    Then I think you go into download management or somesuch and you can bypass the PS3's PSN storefront altogether.

    Put up a Famicom with vid mod, PC Engine with RGB mod and an R-Zone on the marketplace.
    Don't all jump at once for that R-Zone :D

    That PCE is so tempting...only my PC giving me grief so funds are going there instead. The one sale I regret is my Duo-R (Myrddin - give me first dibs if you ever decide to let her go!).

    That was a great purchase I must say. You're first in line if I decide to move it on again :)

    No, tried it a couple of times the other day, but will try it again tonight. Wonder how the visuals of SOTN will look on a large plasma...

    How the frak would I get that behemoth up the spiral staircase?
    They have a 4:3 mode, yes?
    Hmm....

    4:3 mode on a 16:9 screen just means you're getting a smaller image anyway, negating the point of the larger 16:9 panel (if solely using for retro machines)

    I have the PS2, Xbox and GC there too, many games run in 16:9
    I'm just wondering if it might be an option for those.
    I'll have to get an Led panel too for when the PS3 and 360 get sent up there as well.

    Yeah, about to post this. Saves you the expense of dealing with Taito directly, minimum order values and customs.

    Get a crane, drop it through the roof, fix hole in roof. Less hassle than getting it up a stairs, esp your spiral. :D I'm still rocking a 37" Sony Wega CRT dinosaur in the sittingroom and I honestly wouldn't one these days even if it was free, too bulky. Thing cost me close to 3 grand almost a decade ago, built to last if nothing else!

    Yeah, my 29" Trini cost me close to stupid money when bought new back in 96, as a Harry Moore opening offer, not long before they were bought by the Dixon's Group. Still alive and working well nearly 20 years on.
    Some lightgun issues that won't go away though.
    Might wait for a more modest Trini, 21" or so, and see if I've more luck.
