    Well f@@k it, I got it for free basically so I'm not complaining.

    Well it's definitely not a bad game at all. Just don't get the love or crazy prices for it.

    Well, Super Castlevania IV just arrived, courtesy of Parcel Motel, all in all it cost me €30 with PayPal, postage and Parcel Motel costs included.
    But much of a saving then, maybe no more than €5 or €10.

    To celebrate it's arrival I gave up 30mins to playing Super Probotector and died, a lot!

    picked up Ace Attorney: Trials & Tribulations (with Club Nintendo points still inside) and GTA Chinatown Wars today at a car boot sale, a tenner for both.

    I must pick up GTA Chinatown Wars myself, apparently the DS version is the superior, plus at least they still make a console that'll run the thing.
    I have a feeling that in a relatively short space of time PSP's are going to croak and we can kiss goodbye to playing legitimate UMD's.
    In fact, I suspect a question about the PSP's media of choice is coming to pub quizzes near you!

    Nice! I see you got a Trio Linker Plus II for that DC stick? Great using one with MAME :)

    Just picked up a pcb holder for my cab for £1! :pac:

    Is it the same as the one you showed me when I picked up the stick? I have been using it with mame, it's a very nice stick. I dipped into the cab fund for that stick, glad I did though, I would have been sick if I passed on it.
    Still on the lookout for jap Saturn stick. Hope to be getting a cab in around two months time, I don't mind waiting for the right one to turn up. I'm warming to the Egret 2 if it's possible to hook up to a pc.

    That's the exact one I have alright, should work a treat.

    Good look to you finding an E2. :( Urbanledge was crazy lucky to get that one, they seriously never come up for sale.

    I have waited this long so I don't mind waiting a while longer. Urbanledge was good enough to let me know what his set him back, Has Ronnie sold all the cabs he brought in the last time. Steves 3 is savage but too expensive for mefrown.png If you see anything show up don't be afraid to send me a pm, idealy I would prefer to wait for a couple of months but if the right one showed up I may take the plunge.

    Egret 2s are one of the most desirable (and expensive) candy cabs out there. Egret 3s tend to be cheaper.

    Is a rotate mech something you definitely need? If not then you could go with an Atomiswave too, they're the same cab. Just with a tri sync monitor instead. Sure there's one up over on adverts as we speak! :)

    I picked up a zelda 3ds in GS Clarehall, still had a couple left down there. A visit to parcel motel for fatal frame on the way back. I hope to get a cab soon just deciding on what to go for, must start a thread about it.

    I heard it's glitchy, there's one that turns the rooms completely white? It's been ages since I was talking about it though.

    I hope it's not too bad:( I really liked the second one and I'm just starting out on the third. I will have to get the english patch for this, it will be a while before I start it but it seemed to come up a lot cheaper that it usually sells for so I took the jump. Hope it wasn't misguided.

    Love my 3ds though :)

    It's not complete ****e, it's worse than that. Don't be fooled by the respectable opening level either. It takes a nose dive into a **** sandwich after it.

    I didn't play it myself (I was kinda put off over hearing about the glitches) but love the series! Crimson Butterfly is my favourite of the 3
    but The Tormented is the most scary, it's brilliant, dat Sleeping Priestess song! <3 (stuck on the last boss argh!)

    Got Excit Truck for E5 in Xtravision yesterday, one of the quintesential Wii games I reckon:)

    would love to be able to throw a couple of hundred quid at my Wii collection, only really need a the likes of Galaxy 2 and The Last Story and I'd be happy. Can't justify it though as I know they'd never get played:(

    I have two auto HDMI switchers daisychained into eachother like that. Should work as whatever goes active on switcher A should make switcher B switch to whatever scart channel switcher a is connected to.

    ....my head hurts now.

    Indeed, but I couldn't be hooped getting a DSP1 cart to hack the chip out to only find out in time that I overheated and borked the chips.
    Already had a word with the seller about his shipping costs not matching the actual postal shipping.
