There's a guy in Cork selling the PS3 3d display, previously sold for around 450, now selling for 250, he has it up for 150, if only Iived near Cork!
It'd be perfect for the games room, would move the PS3 up there as well.
Dammit!

It's one of those ugly betting terminals which keep coming up for outrageous prices. Absolutely awful looking things.

Blame this guy! http://www.candy-cabs.com/

He just jacked the price to €200, despite it being €250 new with 2 games, 2 games that are absent in his sale.

TheStook · 18-02-2013 4:48pm

Just bought a Gameboy Colour and a playstation 2 off my mate for €35 with a load of games.

He's not sure what games he has but says there's definitely a lot of pokemon games for the Gameboy and a lot of ps2 games. €35 sounds like a good deal to me, is it?

If the Pokemon games are legit, and the batteries are still holding a save, then yes.

I don't think they're too reliable so no great loss. Typical current gen build quality, it's the same old sh1te just in 3d. I seriously can't see many ps3s or 360s around in five years time.

Scratch that, I'm getting THREE gameboy colours including the yellow one and a gameboy advance sp, along with 5 legit pokemon games inc. Crystal.

Plus a ps2 and some games with a wireless controller which I never knew existed for the ps2. All for €35, now I know that's a good deal!

Nice one, the PS2 is a great machine, tons and tons of great games out there.

Atavan-Halen · 18-02-2013 8:07pm

The pokemon crystal will probably need a battery replacement and so will gold and silver if they're included. The batteries in that gen of pokemon games tend to run out a lot faster than red/blue/yellow, possibly due to the fact they have a clock system or Nintendo using cheaper batteries. Either way it's a great price for that lot.

OwaynOTT · 18-02-2013 8:40pm

Or just dont save, play it through.

Yeah I only recently heard about that, does replacing the batteries cost much?

You (IIRC) need to get a special bit to open the case, last time I bought a bit for the SNES I got a pack of applicable batteries with it from the US, came to about €15 I think?

That is hilarious. I'd raise the issue in the adverts feedback forum (I think there is one?) for the fun

MrVestek · 20-02-2013 5:18pm

Stupid question but what category was it in? Video Game Consoles or I dunno something silly like reversible sedge-wicks for sale?

TheStook · 20-02-2013 11:45pm

I'm finding it ridiculously hard to find any of the original Spyro's at a decent price, There's 4 charity shops in my town and all of them share one thing in common, fifa feckin 2003! Sick thing is I gave them all to my cousins when I got my Xbox 360 all those years ago thinking I'd never have any use for them, how silly I was.

Its sick to actually have no games from my childhood, sure I can buy them online but it's not the same knowing I already had them and threw them out! Oh well..

Jack burton · 21-02-2013 9:35pm

isn't Skylanders all about Spyro? Could be driving up the popularity

He's one of the many characters but it was named after him for advertising I guess.. Yeah that's probably the reason

o1s1n · 22-02-2013 6:28pm

Here's a great deal, I'd be buying it if I didn't just buy an ST-V board!

Souky with the ST-V mobo for 130 delivered.

Was looking at that alright, if it was Shienryu I would've snapped it up. As it is, nah. Good price though.

o1s1n · 22-02-2013 6:55pm

Heh, too horizontal for ya?! :pac:

Talk about bad timing though. I've been trying to pick it up with an ST-V mobo for an eternity now. Finally make the plunge, buy an ST-V and one appears with the mobo for super cheap.

Might be time to pm that other chap selling a cart only and see if I can shave off a few euro...

The attraction of the games hve nothing to do with Spyro, he was a dead franchise anyway.
The attraction is the mix of AR toys, high production values and clever marketing.
Looks like Disney is bringing their own version out and the WiiU is capable of using the Gamepad as a interactive toy platform with no new hardware.
I wonder if the next Smash Bros title might take advantage of the technology, given the historical presence of such toys within the game, as prizes. Could be cool.
Certainly they'd be missing a trick if they don't get a Pokemon game out using the same tricks.

Or just buy that one for sale and sell the mobo you already have

That's immediately what I was thinking the moment I saw it...dunno though, don't want to run the risk of being stuck with two ST-V mobos. Might not be the easiest thing to sell

No bids on it yet and it ends at 5am.

o1s1n · 23-02-2013 12:56am

That's pretty expensive. It's an expensive game, but you can get it cheaper than that. I think mine came to about 50 euro. Maybe even less.

Yeah that's what I was thinking... my everdrive will do for another while.

I've been trying to track a few games for the last while to see what would be the cheapest to get them at... on ebay you really have to be very quick with newly listed BIN's or just lucky.

Sounds about right, picked it up on taobao few months back think it came to just over 54 including shipping.

There's a copy of Game Center CX (DS) for €6, CIB, in the Comic Book Guy's stall in Blackrock. I was gonna pick it up, but had to get a Megadrive cart to test out a PAL MD a friend of mine threw out. The thing is ****ed to the highest order, so you can tell how my day turned out.

Same here, the free P&P is the clincher.

o1s1n · 24-02-2013 11:52pm

You know those Wild Card floppy disk loading devices for the Snes? Well, they're a good bit rarer for the MD.

Check this out, the picture has it on a MD2. Can barely see the console
