    Just picked this up on Adverts. Seemingly a brand/near new PSone Combo, CIB :)

    It's never been used by the looks of it, the pad is brand new, no dust at all on the console or in the disk tray, no marks at all on it.

    €45 I nabbed it for, I think thats a damn good price. The real seller was that after selling five Snes games & buying US replacements, I made enough profit so that this only cost me €10. Been after one of these for a while too :)

    O/T: You know everytime I'm absent mindedly scrolling through adverts I misread the bottom of the screen where it says "Entered/Renewed" and think "Wow, Enternow's been busy today" :pac:

    On topic: Nice bargain :)

    Try and get the car PSU for it, I let one slip by when they were selling them off in Harvey Norman years ago.
    Not sure how much use you'd get from it though.

    Very very little, this is firmly being added to the displayed collection :)

    Wow man, that's amazing.

    I picked up a PSOne and screen before for 30, but they were all scratched up. To get everything minty and new like that for an extra 15 is insane.

    Edit - my Turbo everdrive has been shipped!!!

    \o/

    Have fun with the Turbo Everdrive, it's all sorts of awesome.
    I had to update mine to get it to work it right but all since have had the patch applied already, it stops issues with large sd cards.
    So many great games on that machine, make sure the little switch is in the right place according to the region of your console.

    didnt realise he was in the lot til I got them, would have otherwise told them to keep him

    was thinking of doing an experiment, fry him in the microwave see does he come out looking like Admiral Akbar

    I see the deluxe version is coming along. They just need to work on the coating for the rest of the cart and it's done.

    No need for any of that if you've got a shuttle :)

    The PC Engine Shuttle, how to take a perfectly great design and really work towards frakking it up!

    The Turbo Everdrive Deluxe does not exist in this dojo!

    What's the point?

    What does the deluxe one do differently to the normal one?

    Functionally, absolutely nothing. Has a bit of a protective cover on it and probably a few labels/stickers.

    Yeah, Just a protective cover over the main electronics and I think they are coating the whole thing in some sort of plastic type stuff so it will look like a Hucard more than a pcb.
    Plus if they sell it as the deluxe you'll probably get a case, sd card etc.

    Just got Gradius in the post for the Famicom and Starfox for the US Snes.
    Turns out the Starfox is both boxed and with instructions, which is nice!
    They arrived in work yesterday and only got them today, hopefully the rest will turn up today.

    The maps and secret book are bordered and only run in 50 Hz.

    Ye olde spoils from England. All current stuff as I mentioned before. Prices are still pretty much on par with the stuff over here so not a massive amount of bargains to be had.

    Can't be jailbroken yet as it's the Apple TV 3. But will do as soon as a jailbreak is available! Mainly will be using it for airplay, tv and movies and all that jazz as it does 1080p.

    Nice! As much as Snes boxes annoy me, I really do love them.

    I've been after ALTTP box for ages. Have absolutely all of the contents, including the tips book, but no damn box.

    I seen a couple of empty LttP boxes for sale on ebay while I was buying that one...kinda pricey but to have a CIB LttP its a little bit worth it :)

    Would you not shell out for a complete copy then sell on the manuals and cart minus the box?
