    It's the American's fault,
    Calling a backside a fanny, instead of backside like the rest of us.
    On a brighter note, it has provided school yard giggles to generations of Irish and UK children.... and O1s1n....

    No worries dude! You'll be 1ccing it in no time with that thing :)

    I just picked up two old Toshiba Satellites on Adverts for 35 delivered. Seemed like a bit of a steal.

    http://www.adverts.ie/laptops/2-x-vintage-toshiba-satellite-pro-4600-laptops/10509401

    Should have a bit of fun mucking around with them.

    When you say "won" a Panasonic Q, you don't mean like this....

    I won the auction, I wish i won it as a prize, would save some money.
    Got a good deal on it as it needs some repair as the tray is not opening anymore so hopefully it just needs a new drive belt.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,019 ✭✭✭Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy


    Thanks again to Andrew76, he's a cool dude for helping me get a copy of Pokemon Sun, it was sold out locally. :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,019 ✭✭✭Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy


    Another get this morning, the top/jumper I wanted for the Christmas beers (typical). It's Mario themed in light blue.

    Had a bit of a brain aneurysm whilst in Dundrum yesterday.

    I only went out to pick up the steering wheel...

    Congratulations on your purchase of a very large paper weight, you obviously are an owner of A3 sheets of paper and live in place of much wind.
    You may wind up having more fun playing with the box it came in!!!

    I like the little mug

    Well we already have a PS4 so I mainly bought this to get some use out of some old 360 purchases and play the likes of Rare replay etc.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,626 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    I couldn't wait to own Rare Replay, in fact it was the first game I bought for the system when it finally came into my life...
    Didn't play it half as much as I expected to mind, even the marvellous Blastcorps...

    Sony DTP-T1000 PSP Dev toolkit with DTP-H110 controller.

    Purchased as seen, not tested as they had no power cable. But they did have the power supply, just missing a standard figure 8 connector cable which we all have loads of.
    Works perfect once i plugged it in :) It even came with the foot button thingy that is always missing on these (the thing on the right).

    funny how that looks like 90s hardware when it's for the PSP

    Deadly! Seems to be a good time to pick up Sony dev hardware. Did you ever get one of those PS3 units in the end?

    Still waiting to do something with my one! Had grand plans to load the HDDs with games but it is yet to happen. :D

    I got fat test ps2 and slim ps2 test machines recently. That guy never got back to me on the PS3 so nothing happened with that. Does he still have them?

    You'll be glad to hear you can get them for FAR cheaper now on ebay! I've seen a few listed in around £130 or so, which less than half what I paid for mine :(

    Actually here's one that was up for just £125

    Another arrival just in. Not exactly interesting on its own, but they are for an incoming thingy that should be here next week.
    The green tapes are custom made to any specs (ferro, chrome, metal as well as length) and a 10th of the price of the branded Metal tapes they try to sell you on eBay or Amazon.

    Me love toxic green transparent plastic :)

    In case anyone is interested:

    I have a business account with them, so if doing a bulk order i can help ;)

    The last few bits I've picked up. The Famicom Mini was worth waiting for, how much use it will get given the size of the controllers is another thing. It would be great to see a Super Famicom version in the future.
