So, impulse buy time on ebay...
And possible redemption for my PS Move misstep.
Bought Dark Souls Limited Edition and Demons Souls Limited Edition, both for the PS3 and all for €28
Can I still play here?
Have I pulled this reputation plane out of its downward spiral?
Have I shrugged off the cidey syndrome?
Will it be safe to go outside once again?

Bargains.

It was an Irish seller as well, so I'm hoping to have it on my work desk on Wednesday morning!
Fingers crossed.
I'll sell on the PS3 Dark Souls to offset the initial cost, as I already have it on the 360.

Finally got my mitts on a Mega CD 1!

He only seems to think postage to Ireland for that lot is ten pounds. Let see if he honours it

Tenner sounds just about possible. I had a Raiden PCB shipped for 13.

Wow, impressive price for it! And coupled with your modded MD1, modded 32X & Everdrive...you now have a totally region free setup...sweet!

It's a great price alright. Came out of me just doing a bit of window shopping on ebay and seeing a price I couldn't pass up.

Will be selling on theMegadrive 1 that comes with it. I also have a spare Megadrive 2 knocking about the house, so will combine it with my Mega CD 2 and sell it on adverts I think.

Good luck with the rom hack, that'll be a really interesting one if it works. I'd be up for one too

not the most exciting purchase ever, but been on my "must-buy" list for quite a while, and is still sealed.

OwaynOTT

Got a sealed Bomberman for the Saturn this morning. That two sealed games inside a week starting to become an issue.
in my defence I wasn't aware Bomberman was actually sealed until I received it today. I also thought I all ready owned it but it turned out it was Bomberman Fight.

Just completed my purchase of Chrono Trigger fully boxed for SNES there now as well. Missed out on a very good copy for €112.50 recently so I panicked bought this one.
Very unusual photography on the eBay ad. Heres hoping its not in bits.

..was at a local sale of work yesterday , was feckin mental , grannies pushing and shoving and mammies pretty much grabbing stuff outta your hands

Glad it wasnt today mind you as I'm cripplied with some sort of stomach bug/plauge virus...

TechnoFreek

Ahh, saw a copy of Ibara for the PS2 for 70 euro... But I must resist!

Yeah, it's not so great on the ps2 from what people have said but I've only got the pcb and not the ps2 version so can't really say from personal experience.

That guy pingpong or whatever he was called that used to post here many moons ago had both I think and really didn't like the ps2 ver

You have an Ibara PCB? Lucky man!

I do remember playing the PCB in Andrew76's place, but I think Ondafly owned it?

I never could get over how small those Cave PCBs are.

CiDeRmAn

Well that is 70 saved then.... Hooray for me!
Back to Time Crisis!

I think we need to start a "what was I thinking" purchases thread for you Cidey

CiDeRmAn

Yep that was ondafly's board. I think the main gripe with the PS2 version is the fact it has loading times - not that they are bad just that the PCB doesn't have any (of course). I'd don't have much experience with the PCB but the PS2 port is pretty good imo.

CiDeRmAn

After buying the Move I should probably just resign from A&R and look for something more casual and vacuous, like the mod of the Playstation forum!
Oh, I have a weakness for useless peripherals, which is why I own a Negcon, Jogcon, Guncon, DC Keyboard, DC Mouse, DC Fishing rod, and so on and so on...
The Kinect was probably the worst one though, not just because of it's status as a glorified dust magnet or it's expense but because it promised so much and has, so far, delivered bugger all.
Ibara is just.... I don't know, against my better sense to buy... But I want it never the less...

MrVestek

I'm with you there I bought a Kinect for the very same reason.. I haven't used it for much more than feeling like I'm in Star Trek when I tell Netflix which movie to play WITH THE POWER OF MINE OWN VOICE!

The DC Keyboard was pretty handy back in the day for browsing the web though or chatting to people on Chu Chu Rocket.

Ahh... thems were the days.

MrVestek

Ohhh also the DC Keyboard is great fun if you manage to get your hands on a copy of The Typing of the Dead.

So....
Just bought Ibara....
It was from a dealer on Amazon.co.uk of all places.
And it worked out at €68, which is pretty good.
I offset the cost, and the associated guilt, buy saving some money on my sons Santa gifts, so there we go.
Well, I had to put credit into the local Parcel Motel so it isn't all great, but I'm sure I'll find a use for that at another time!
