    Looks like a dodgy MD knockoff with the bins dumped in there somewhere.
    TBH, for similar money you'll buy the Blaze/@games official equivalent, and they'll still suck.
    Are we sure it isn't Sparks trying to make a few euro for the Christmas?

    Same thing here?

    I think I'll hold out for the follow up...
    PXP3!

    I've been watching his auctions for a while, it's the same seller who's bubble bobble bootleg finished at £2000 then was re-listed and sold for £102
    The NZS is at £25 with 7 days left, its going to finish expensive

    I haven't posted in ages, friend of a friend (it's here I post and marketplace if it was my own right?) is selling a purple GC, all wires with 1 controller, Burnout and a Sims game included, €40 but willing to take offers. I could bring it to the next beers all going well.

    A very cool gesture Shane, fair play. Maybe we can drum up some extra business! I'll look after the code in the same manner to ensure its not abused

    Yeah they got mentioned a few times on Retro Asylum podcast. Also some people on here didnt like them, Retro i think.

    Newer one here? http://www.funstock.co.uk/jxd-s7800b-android-gaming-tablet

    You also get some money off by using code "asylum" i think.

    Just had a read of it there. He's been frequent enough with his emails lately, does this mean he's selling a lot or none at all?

    I think the JXD ones are meant to be a bit crap. That said I wouldn't necessarily know what to recommend either.

    Bit of an odd one, but if anyone is in need of boxes for their loose disc games, Laser on Georges St in Dublin are offloading all their empty DVD/CD boxes for free.

    It might kinda, almost, possibly be relevant to someone here, but, yanno, you contain yourselves now, lads.

    Have one of these myself, think I got it from a Chinese site for less.

    It's one of those things you'll take out when you buy it, play it for 5 minutes and chuck it at the bottom of a drawer somewhere for eternity.

    Might be a good gift to send someone on a nostalgia trip, but beyond that it's fairly useless.

    Nah, you know Nintendo, they're so generous and would definitely allow copies of their games to be sold on unknown devices!

    The aspect ratio disgusts me. I'd say for 22 euro that screen is going to be a vaseline blur the second anything attempts to move by a pixel on it.

    Does anyone know where I can get my hands on the sega genesis handheld console with 80 in built games, a few available from the US for about 65 quid. Just wondering if there is somewhere closer?

    They are in the Argos catalogue for 41.24, they have twenty games built in and an SD card slot so you can add as many games as you like somehow.....
