Picked up a replacement for my now MIA Mario Kart 7, traded Darksiders, Bulletstorm and the easily replaced for a tenner Rage, threw in €15 and it was mine once again, still sublime!

No offense but the AV signal out of that thing gives me headaches and the joystick is nasty

btw have you got a 'naughty' original Xbox? Was hoping to give Metal Wolf Chaos a blast and figured the 11th would be a good time to try it out.

The post seems to be damn slow for me lately, if I don't receive them Monday I'll have to call upto the depot and ask them to check.
Don't forget it's a Bank Holiday this Monday - post office won't be open I presume.

I'm going to try to "obtain" that game in time for the night, fingers crossed it's "delivered" ok.....

A few better pics of the iQue(probably too many but I wanted to show it from a few angles).
This was new and sealed in the box but I got him to open it to install some extra games before shipping. So its nice and minty fresh

Hehehe! *Knock* *Knock!*

Meant to say tuesday. I managed to get a tracking number from the seller and they only hit Port Laoise yesterday so will be waiting a few more days.

Glad to know they're on Irish soil though!

Tis a nice curiosity to have all right but it's not something you'd take out to play that often, unless you spoke fluent Chinese that is.

Still, now is the time you grab one while they are going for a relatively reasonable price for a new and sealed one.
In a few years they might become a lot harder to come by, especially ones that are still sealed in the box. Then you have the issue of getting games onto the thing. If you don't want to hack it to bits then you need to do it officially and it can still be done in China via the download service and the use of those little cards you see in one of the pictures I posted.

It's no CDi. The CDi changed the course of videogame history and raised the bar for quality. The iQue is and official unofficial N64 clone for the chinese market

Whats involved in putting them on yourself? Is it a messy hack that basically wrecks the device? Or can it be done nicely, leaving you with N64 games etc in English?

I've only looked into it a bit but it does seem to be very messy and I think you can only put iQue games onto it.
I might be wrong though.

Non-gaming, but thought I'd 'show and tell' as this DVD is becoming a bit on the rare side these days.

As for the CD, well, I've started collecting CD's again for some reason. Specifically SACD but this one has no SACD that I know of, but it's the greatest Detroit techno album ever made so it's a no brainer, buying the MP3s just won't do.
