I'm stunned, I picked up 7 PS1 games for €10 in the charity shop I used to work in and Dragon Quest The Chapters of the Chosen for €5 in Gamestop.
It's like a welcome home present from the God of second hand shops.

Magical mystery mall is coming to the next beers :P

Incredible Crisis.

What a game. Great taste there lass.

Awesome SKA soundtrack.

Seems my customs issue was with a playasia package and not an ebay order.

The ferris wheel stage is a but 'urgent' though eh?

Had to turn the volume down as yer wan might have thought I was pulling the stomach out of myself!

So this arrived finally this morning! Thanks for telling me about the other controller a few weeks back. It was no problem to change my order.

Can't wait to give it a go tonight.

That was fairly fast shipping? (Or has time flown by that quick!)

readyletsgo

Actually yeah it was very fast. They forgot about my order though. They have a new system for taking orders at the moment.

Had a quick look at it this morning, feels nice! love the keyring too

Next up to get is a RETRON 5, am I right in the thinking that it will be released in Oct? Anyone ordered one yet?

Mine arrived in the post today too. Apparently it's been opened by customs :eek:

Had mine a few months and it's really great. Most of the initial problems were sorted in the recent firmware updates. It really makes things so much easier to have a quick game without changing connection etc.

What if one of the regulars on here (or a long time lurker) works in customs! Having a good ole nosey at all the goodies coming in. :eek:

Looks very nice, I regret not getting it now

But when the Sega book arrives I'll be happy

N+ finally arrived this morning.

A US only DS release but available everywhere as a flash game

The same day Bayonetta 2 is out. Nice.

The box presentation on the NES30 is really nice. Shame I can't say the same about the book!

Don't get me wrong, the content is excellent, it's definitely worth buying and I can't wait to get stuck in, it's just the finish on the book itself feels quiet cheap. The paper stock, covering and printing layout itself. More like a school/college book. Maybe that's the look they were going for..!

Myrddin

Just a heads up o1s1n, your name, address & ph number were on display in that first pic

o1s1n

Jaysus! :eek: I didn't see that at all, what a numpty thing to do - cheers dude!

o1s1n

Been using the Nes30 all afternoon with my laptop - its lovely! Feels really similar to a real Nes pad. Definitely worth picking up before the inevitable Nintendo C&D letters.

Got my new phone.
It's as mad as cheese wellingtons.
OS is bizarre, no app tray, everything on the home screens, like IOS or MIUI.
Might try something else.
Changed the runtime from Darvik to Art and nothing wanted to work before switching back.
More experiments required!

Bit the bullet and went for the xbox in the end. I figured it was the cheapest option to avail of next gen gaming at the moment. Not that there's much to avail of at the moment mind.... Booted it over to cex but they stop taking trade ins close to closing time so I'll trade the destinies in tomorrow. Might give it a quick blast tonight though. Forza 5 will tide me over until the end of the month when forza horizon 2 comes out.

Just managed to snap up a ps1 and ps2 all inc cables(no games) for 30 euro

Well this should go nicely with that FreeMCBoot memory card

CosmicSmash

Have to do that myself, what type of hdd is needed for this? Is it just the fmcb card, network adapter and drive that's needed or is there more involved.

o1s1n

I haven't read into it too much, but I think you can just boot using Fmcb and it loads up the HDD for you.

I think you can then just FTP games over with a network cable?

Hmmm, on investigation it looks like the best way to transfer games is via an IDE enclosure. That's a bit annoying!

The Last Bandit

You can connect the HD to a PC and use an application called Win-Hip to copy the games over. Handy if the laser on your PS2 is a bit tired and refuses to read anymore.
