Post every time you buy/trade something Part VII

Got another £5 PS3 on the way off a mate. 60gb model too.

 

How did you get a PS3 for a fiver?!

 

Sadly the Ghostbusters one doesn't but I have got another CD somewhere that does have them. That disc came in a normal CD case though.

 

Buy broken ones off friends.

 

Here's something I have been trying to get for quite some time and managed to get at a very good price. Also a fantastic read below.

 

Just arrived. I really needed one, my 4GB PQI broke down months ago and I've been surviving with my old and trusty 256 MB Kingston DataTraveler until now :110:

 

Bought myself a B&N Nook e-book reader.
Pretty neat device, definitely will get tons of use.

 

I got the PSP Castlevania... from GoGamer.com. Only 10 bones!

It was not advertised as such, but it's the Greatest Hits version.


Not happy, that's not what the picture was!
This is my first GH game! BALLS!

 

This arrived in the post the other day.

 

Got a original xbox all hookups and LOTR return of the king today £17.99 in total from game station LOTR was 2.99 and they were selling Xboxes Gamecubes and ps1s for £15 a pop. (£7 a pop for the ps1s with all wires controllers and memory card)

He brought it down from upstairs with a mystical orange (classic gamestation! ooh!!!) bag elastic banded to it. and put that in a bigger bag and put hookups and controller in with it. checking the bag inside it is hookups and another controller!. The spanner didnt check it!

 

3 PS3 games this month, I'm wet!



The 3rd game is Uncharted2.

 

I guess you liked Deathsmiles if you bought Espgaluda?

How does that work on an Xbox 360? Do you need to tate your tv or do you just play it or do you have massive black bars on each side of the screen?

 

I'd assume you can do either (and judging by most modern console ports, more as well). Or, you can put it on proper vertical mode and tilt your head 90 degrees.
(I totally did that at my buddy's house a couple nights ago on his 46" LCD and Ikaruga).

 

ESPGaluda II appears to be like Progear aspect ratio sort of.

It's more square, could even be 4:3.

 

Not square or 4:3, it's an ordinary vertical shooting game like the predecessor. The 360 version can be played with a massive frame in yoko-mode, but that's not that much of a hassle on a big TV considering that the original game was made to be played on a 29inch monitor.



Another (optimal) option was to tate the screen and play it in its original aspect ratio and orientation. Just a shame that not all modes have an actual full-screen mode, some (like Omake mode) have a big frame around them and have to be blown up manually by setting the screen size to 150% - and that's although Omake mode has been done in HD resolution -___-

I had the chance to test the port this weekend and it's excellent ^_^ The only bummer is that is doesn't include an option to play the original arcade mode in HD, but it should look as fine as the PCB on any lowres screen.

 

Yes, I love Death Smiles and Mushihime Sama. Ordered Ketsui as well.

Just like any other shooter since the 32 bit age. Play with whopping boarders down the sides (filled with a nice wallpaper is wanted) or flip your TV round and play in tate mode just like the arcade.

 

Another week another ds game, had this once already but stupidly sold it on a year ago, spotted it super cheap so bought it again. Forgot how enjoyable this is still.

 

What sort of game is this? Like a graduation exam in Namco games? Do you have to get certain scores / fulfil specific tasks in each game to succeed? Sounds interesting, apart from being early Namco games that is... ^^

 

Hehe your pretty much spot on with your guess thats exactly what it is. It plays a bit like warioware, you have to complete a short minigame that are based on old namco games, you will be given a specific task in each minigame. If you complete them you get a ranking from C to S which will then get you a medal either bronze silver or gold once you complete the current set of minigames.

Once you have enough medals obtained the level exam will unlock where you will have to try to get a high enough score to pass, if you pass you goto the next gamer level.
