Post every time you buy/trade something Part VIII

Been so long since I've said anything here. OK. Here we go.

Bought and sold stuff from various people here. Not enough? Fine.

Bought an Xecuter 3 and debug Xbox from davidthomas. Got my 1.1 xbox console upgrade with Tualatin CPU and 128MB RAM by Trusty. Sold a WD Scorpio Blue 320GB HDD I hacked with the Xbox 360 firmware to someone. Forgot who. Said it works no problem. Other stuff I'm sure I've forgotten too.

Now if I could have the money for an Xbox Dev Kit, find a DreamX 1480, and have the money for a Sega Chihiro model 3 then I'd be set. Spit in one hand and wish in the other...

 

Seems like mine and your wishlist are the same right now mr sonicdude! Minus all the spit part!

 

Holly crap!! A Japanese copy of Run Saber for the Super Famicom! How rare is that? It was thought to have been unreleased but here it is!


Actually, I just made it with thanks to a repro company for providing the PCB.






I've sort of messed up the box though so I'll have to make another of those.

 

The first PS2 ever made (revision wise):




The last PS2 ever made (revision wise - note internal PSU):





Ironic that the one that was made more recently is in much much worse condition.

In fact, this SCPH-10000 is in better condition than my four other PlayStation 2 (not including these two).

 

Bought a few new 360 games this week. Japanese versions of Lost Planet 3 and Fear 2 and the Asian version of Saints Row 4 because it's cheaper than the Japanese version that came out recently and in English

 

A few more titles today while out with my son. Area 88 and The Firemen for the Super Famicom. Both in great condition. And Thunder Force 6 for the PS2.

 

And there's Thunder Force VI =] Wonder how cheap it was.

By the way, the collection is getting bigger. Any plans for a PS2 section on your site?

 

Yeah. the pressure from some guy in Brazil was too much Thunder Force VI is mint in every way and only cost 1200 yen after shipping but that could be because the seller had it listed as Thunder Force 4 not 6 Someone needs to learn Roman numbers.



I will be putting pS2 on to my site at some point but I want to get the SFC section built up first so it's going to take a while I think.

 

I bought leetwolf's DECH-A00A (fat backward-compatible test PS3). Just due diligence of posting to this thread now that I finally verified that it worked. =)

 

Honestly the japanese ps2 selection is better than the western selection, especially the compilations. Seems sega released all the good ps2 stuff only in japan.

 

Strange, I bought Thunder Force V yesterday.

 

Haha that made me lol. =] Glad you found it for a decent prize.

Just to put into perspective: http://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/MLB-536624161-thunder-force-vi-e-r-type-final-completos-_JM

350 Reais for both Thunder Force VI and R-Type Final. 350 Reais is almost 15060 yen.

 

picked up a japanese saturn for cheap!


bought this on ebay not working for 45$ with free shipping, ended up being a cracked PSU PCB! swapped a new one in and a mod chip and she's back to life!

 

What do you think about TF VI?

 

I've yet to play it. I've been spending too much time on Saints Row 4. It's great!

 

Really? I've never played any Saint Row, I will give it a try then I'm going through a phase, having finished GTA V (finally) where every other game feels bland and limited Maybe St Row could help BTW I like TF VI a lot, not as good as 3, 4 and 5 but it's still a solid shmup.

 

Saints row the third is so so so much fun. I also have the 4th but I honestly enjoyed the third one more. I even bought all of the DLC for the third and beat it all last week. My friends have also told me good things about the second but I am yet to try it out for my self. Wonderful series if you have a good sense of humor

 

I'll take your words for it, humour wise, I should be fine I'll get one of these games next time, I'm in town

 

Got these recently, in an attempt to rebuild some sense of an MSX collection, MSX stuffs are getting really expensive these days well especially from eBay...

 

Nice shit! Knightmare is a really fun game, if only the scrolling was smoother. But I always enjoyed playing it on the Saturn collection disc. How expensive was it? Still has the $22 / 2080yen sticker from Trader on it hehe.
