for something that valuable I'd want to collect it in person
assuming it's that laptop, 66 & 7 buses will get you to Dun Laoghaire in about 90 mins. you might even be lucky enough to be able to agree meeting half way.

Definitely Paypal. I wouldn't send a large sum of money to someone I didn't know any other way.

Paypal dispute have solved all my issues but one (I'd left it too long) - rang my credit card company and they just initiated a chargeback.

Also, if there is a paypal dispute and the other person refuses to respond you automatically win the dispute after a certain amount of time.
Or at least that how it used to be.

Thanks for the replies. It was the surface pro that's up there at the moment but from looking online about it it seems the battery is poor enough and since I'd want it for drawing/painting on the go that's pretty important to me. I think I'll just save up for the surface pro 2.

You do indeed.

As a buyer, you seem to have most of the rights on Paypal. It's when you become a seller that you need to concern yourself with potential issues.

Any time I've received funds into my paypal account I withdraw them instantly. Just in case my account was ever frozen due to a dispute (have heard some horror stories)

The Ultra Collectors Edition of Dark Souls 2 comes with an interesting addition in Sweden:

Hah! Wear it while playing the game to make it even more difficult

Retr0gamer

Is Sweden some kind of weird gaming utopia? They seem to get some weird stuff no one else gets such as the PAL version of Gimmick.

Anyone have one of these N64 passport things? Are they any use?

CiDeRmAn

Actually, I will have one to trade soon, I have one of these, or something similar, and I'll stick it up for trading once my NTSC N64 touches down.

Giz a shout if you're getting rid of it. Have an NTSC N64 game on the way.

Just saw a PS4 in Gamestop Pavilions, bunch of smelly teenagers playing Fifa.
I have to say, I fail to see the improvement over the previous gen.
That said, I didnt see amything else demoed there.
Also, they have a copy of Kirby Superstar Ultra for the DS for around a tenner preowned, an absolute bargain!

James Howlett

I got a sealed copy of Kirby Superstar Ultra for €6 some time ago... but then one day but Wife needed a present to give to a nephew/I-Don't-Know and off it went...

Well I can never understand the huge deal about the PS4 fifa, I know people getting the console just for that

Out of all the games pick the the one that has had the same controls for the last X years and doesnt have any notable graphic improvement...just doesnt make sense to me

Well, I can think of one reason you'd want to.






















It's the gameplay, isn't it?

richymcdermott

Not the safest way to charge your 3ds :L

Atavan-Halen

Maybe it's a modern art installation?

CiDeRmAn

Maybe it was a comparison between the 3DS and Vita that went horribly wrong, with the Vita unable to survive the strain and now dashed on the floor

I'm guessing Steve_SI and the other Doctor Who fans have already spotted the 50th anniversary game on Google search? Pretty good.

I seen the animation but dont have an option to play any game. I'm in a new job and am using IE7 as my browser so maybe it only works on decent browsers and not the abomination that is IE7.

IE7? That's certainly retro!

I feel sorry for you having to use IE anything.

Am I the only scifi fan that thinks Dr. Who is a pile of steaming turd ? And I'll watch pretty much and crap once its got spaceships in it !!

Watched some of it as a kid and it was ok, nothing great, same as Blake 7. But I'm not a fan of the reboots these last few years, no idea what all the fuss is about.

MrVestek

You're both heathens. Can't wait for tomorrow. Cosplaying as the doctor and all so I am.

I mean you don't like it and that's fair enough, you're entitled to your opinion. Your opinion is wrong though. :P

DinoRex

Blake's 7 was my favourite thing ever when I was a kid.

Not too sure about the Syfy remake though... apparently it might be going as an xbox series now, which sounds even worse.

We're a rare breed man, hiding in the shadows, grumbling every time we see or hear a dalek.

It's one of the major scifi shows I just never liked. I reckon I'm a bit too young to appreciate it.

Although I do love Blake 7

DinoRex

The 'An Adventure in Space & Time' drama that was shown last night was really good.

It's really well done the bit when the Daleks are first introduced.

I was waiting for the Panorama documentary to come on about an elite British terror force in the north during the 70s and was quite confused when 'An Adventure in Space & Time' popped up on my screen. Thought Panorama had lost the plot.

Turns out I had the wrong BBC on

The Last Bandit

PS4 or XBOX ? PS4 had me in knots laughing, XBOX still a bit meh..

MrVestek

Ok I haven't been psyched about this next gen at all.

After seeing that PS4 video I have to admit... I'm a little excited about the PS4.

the groutch

So to show off each console they use Kinect & PS Move? Really?

richymcdermott

only next gen i was excited for was the wii u though i will have to end up buying a ps4 for metal gear solid 5 :L

Valentine1

sure many have seen this already today but the Dr Who google doodle/game is a fun little timewaster

https://www.google.ie/

richymcdermott

tried out that wii sports hd on the wii u

there is some good fun to be had on the online but my god is laggy as **** :L

unky chop chop

So I wasn't intending on getting an xbox1 so early but the excitement of a new gadget got the better of me today.
I went around and it was sold out everywhere..recession me arse.

I scurried home in disgust after work, fired up all cabs in protest and have been happily jumping from one to another the last four hours.



FUUUUUUU NEXT GEN, we are quite happy living in the past, thanks very much.

I watched an episode with Billie Tyler in it one day, and it was the biggest stinking pile of piss I have ever watched!!!! And that's being polite!

I saw another episode before which was from an older series, the lead character was back in time, and saved a woman with a pram from a Piano falling from a hoist above.

That episode wasnt actually bad, the acting was decent.

Edit: I had a quick google and the character was John Smith that saved the lady from the piano.

Kids these days don't know what they're missing! Your cabs look absolutely gorgeous.

Love that lone soldier of a can sitting in the middle of the floor, almost taunting the Touring Car cab

unky chop chop

Haa thanks mate, never noticed that beer.
That high class can of polish beer is praying that the board on that Touring car cab magically springs to live.

I don't ask for much for Xmas Mr Claus..Fook the xbox1 Santa,please let it be so. squeeze down the chimney, eat your fill of mince pies and F**kin fix the Sh1t outta that cab.
Remember a Cab is for life, not just for Christmas folks

I seem to be having Firefox problems as of late. For some reason, YouTube videos won't load, yet I go to see videos on Blip.tv and they work just fine. It also has problems loading certain images and features on some sites as well. I already uninstalled it once, but that didn't work. So what am I gonna do?

unky chop chop

Use chrome? Firefox has some nice add-ons but i find Chrome faster

Atavan-Halen

Yeah try a different browser and see if that changes anything. Also have a look and see if you have any Firefox add ons that might be causing issues.

Yeah, I'm using Chrome right now. And I tried disabling the add ons, but that did nothing.
