    I was talking to my co-worker last week about LaserDisc players. He said he had one somewhere that he doesn't use anymore and would give it to me.
    Today he brought in this.

    The laserdisk door needs a little coaxing at time to eject, but other than that, it works great.

    Wow! See, it pays to strike up conversations about archaic technology with random people!

    @Bomberhead: fancy the chances of that, randomly discussing about Laser Disc players and your co-worker hands you not any LD player but a CLD-A100 model, great stuff :thumbsup:

    It's a shame it doesn't work for me discussing Uncharted stuff with my friends and hoping they'll say "I have an Uncharted Press Kit you can have it dude"...one in a million :crying:

    I know! No one else at work understood my reaction when he came walking up with that hulking beast. I tried to explain that it wasn't just ANY LD player, but for the most part they looked at me like i was crazy.

    You never know. Yesterday morning i could have said the same about Laseractives.

    That's pretty awesome. My brother did the same with a coworker, and bought me home a huge box of laserdiscs, so that was nice at the time!

    Went to a flea market once and got 2 original PlayStations for $1 each, AV cables, RF cables, power cord, everything except a game and a controller came with it.

    Fortunately I had just passed a booth with 2 PS1 controllers, so I scurried back to there.

    I just bought the promo version of Mirror's Edge for the PS3 for 50 cents. It pays off to browse through loads and loads of CD racks!

    i dunno its actually a miracle but i ve brought star wars battlefront 2 platinum hits for xbox, it cost 20 reais (12 dollars), but when i went to the mercadolivre, the only copy it was 60 reais (35 dollars) the black label version, and on ebay there is some people selling battlefront 1 and 2 in the black label or platinum together for 50 dollars.

    EDIT: today ive brought the shikigami no shiro for aorund 8 dollars (R$15,50), and forza for the same price.
