Got these nice little handbooks recently, really nice quality. Nothing you can't get online in a wiki ofcourse but nice to have anyway.

Seems there's still a few bits there to be had.
Including s single copy of The Last Story.

Actually,
I just ran back in and bought The Last Story, only a fiver and, well, you never know.... CEX are giving €15 cash or €20 credit.... might nip in on the weekend....

Some men...you's all want the gold shared when others find it, but when yee find it it's off to CeX with it. A&R, always watch your back...there be vultures everywhere

CiDeRmAn

Well, yes, ok...
But then, if someone in these parts has something to trade for it, a PS4, XB1, Oculus Rift, you know, nothing too outlandish, I'll consider it....

Cart picture isn't great because of the holo-label on the cart itself

Does it come like that or is it custom?

No it's normal, some have the standard label & others have the holographic one. I'm not sure why that is, perhaps the holo one is from the collectors edition, not really sure!

Retr0gamer

I've a standard one on mine anyway.

Arrived today. The last known (at the time of writing) Argos copy in stock in the whole of the UK and Ireland (as far as online stock records for UK/Eire presently show).

Found this in Argos in Montrose, Scotland would you believe!

So, a bit of a CRT week for me it seems.
A 9" PVM(Sony PVM 9041 QM) and a 20" BVM(Sony BVM-20E1E with some extra bits) on the way.

I should have the 9" in a day or so as its only coming from Dublin but the main thing I want is the BVM and that might take a while as its not a straight forward sale as it involves escrow and shipping from the UK.
By all accounts the BVM is pretty darn good so I cant wait to connect up some RGB goodness to that

Edit:
Also if anyone wants the BVM manual/docs.

They seem to go for about £100(not inc shipping) on most sites, where you getting them for £40?

CiDeRmAn

I should have a 2DS incoming shortly.
I seem to have gotten a good deal on one.
Boxed and minty fresh only €75 with postage included.
It'll make a nice addition to the Nintendo family.
Just have to pick up a classic DS phat, DSi XL and another GB Micro and I have the bunch, probably complete it this year.
Oh, and a original 3DS as well.

I narrowly missed out on one in Greystones on adverts the other day.

Offered €50 but he'd just sold it to someone else for €40

Here are some 9 inch ones in the UK for £25 each. Not bad

Good man. Don't forget your BNC cables if you haven't got them already, and a means to get audio out of the console/source device. Got my cable from retrogamingcables.co.uk, I needed a female scart to bnc for my particular setup.

Cool thing about these PVMs is the video out ports. Would be fun to link a few of them together displaying the same image.

Yeah that's exactly the one I'm using too.

Have the RCA audio cables going to a RCA > 3.5mm adapter and then into some PC speakers.

Yeah, that's where I'm getting my cables from for them. Would be nice to get some bnc to bnc cables to output from the BVM to PVM.

Today's get isn't remotely related to A&R but we all love a cool gadget don't we? :P

So what is it?

This is such a great thread, just spent nearly an hour looking at all the lovely retro goodness .
I accidently started collecting Gamecube games last week when I found these two hidden in a jumble sale. Tenner for both, best gaming bargain I ever got!



I also bought Grandia for the PS1 and Breath of Fire 3 for the PSP from Ebay recently. BoF III is unbelievably addictive, I reckon I've put hours into the fishing minigame alone!

CiDeRmAn

Does the Zelda game include Ocarina of Time on the bonus disc?
Should do, its a nice edition of the game too.
Are you playing them on a Gamecube or a Wii?
Either way you've a lot of great gaming goodness right there.
And welcome to the Arcade and Retro forum!
