    Free Mother's Day card. (Granny too) from Kodak Gallery

    Thanks! Shipping was .99 but that was easier for me than pickup.

    STOOTSI Platinum Medal Gamer Box $50 + 5 shipping!!!

    I could have used a USB headset, a bluetooth headset (I lost my Warhawk one)... I could use either for working from home via VPN, or a wired Xbox controller, so there's a few of the items here I would have taken. The X1 might work out well though...I might just have to put the baby monitor...

    STOOTSI Platinum Medal Gamer Box $50 + 5 shipping!!!

    No kidding. The Woot BOC hasn't been much better from time to time. There was some box from a housewares place about 2 years back...I forget where...now THAT was an awful BOC. I got my gamer box today. Turtle Beach Ear Force X1 - opened and has a BB inspected plastic on it as usual. Haven't...

    Soul Calibur IV Hori Arcade Stick (PS3/360) $8 off at Amazon

    The SF Anniversary stick was xbox/ps2 compatible but I think the licensing/copy protection stuff on the Xbox controller makes it pricier to do something like that now. It's too bad.

    Lunar 2 - anything deal-breaking about this game I should know about?

    Lunar 2 plays on both the old fat PS2 and the EARLY slimline PS2s. Apparently some of the newest slimlines broke compatibilty with it. It worked fine on my (original) slimline PS2. Wikipedia has the link that shows it broken on the Sony website - but this is for the newer slimlines...

    Michigan Deal Thread

    Yo I found Twisted Metal and a bazillion copies of Wipeout for PSP on clearance at Target for $4.98, and Viewtiful Joe DS for the same price. Wipeout was at both Midland and Saginaw Target stores. You know, if you have a PSP. Also one copy of Killer7 for GC for $2.97. FYI.

    Does any one else HATE racers?

    I like cars plenty. Mine is supercharged. I find racing as a sport or as a game very dull, though. Whew, run around the track, repeat. Too simple. NASCAR is even worse because not even the track is interesting.

    Does any one else HATE racers?

    Ugh, racing games. Boring. The only racing games I enjoy are the ones with weapons ala Mario Kart. Racers like Gran Tourismo bore me to tears. I'd rather watch paint dry. They are probably the one kind of game I have almost zero interest in.

    Could the PS2 be the greatest console ever?

    Greatest system was the SNES IMO. I quit playing platformers when they moved 3d (exempting a few like Maximo). SNES is the RPG heaven for me, with 2D platformers I would still play, and a handful of other great stuff.

    Adaptec Gamebridge 1400 (play console games on your PC!) - Now $10 at Fry's - review!

    For you guys having trouble with the Genesis, I had similiar problems with a Genesis 1 and a JVC X'Eye with my Infocus X1 DLP projector. It simply did not look right no matter what - crazy flickering (too badly to even play) on the bottom half of the screen. I assumed the Genesis was bad and...

    Monster Game XG SSGS-500 5.1 Surround Speaker System for X-Box

    Yes, but that would be only Dolby Pro Logic II. You need optical/coax for Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS.

    Outrageous Arcade Prices

    There's a giant arcade called Pinball Pete's in Ann Arbor. Tons of pinball machines, arcade games, etc. Prices are still reasonable last time we were there.

    How Nintendo has tricked us all with the Virtual Console

    I started weeding out my classic systems. I simply don't have a lot of time to play games, plus trying to run a controller 12-14 feet across the living room (projector), plus our 11mo old grabbing at wires. ARGH. I still have the NES/SNES, but the Sega CD combo (JVC X'Eye) went out, the...

    Getting a Wii? Are you keeping your Gamecube?

    I'm ebaying my component cables. I'll probably keep the GC as it's barely worth enough to sell. I already pulled the GC from my audio rack and moved it to my computer room (hooked up with DC and PSone with a universal s-video cable to my PC via Gamebridge USB).

    NCSX To Have Disgaea Reprint In 2 Weeks - $50

    You should collect games because they are good and you would like to play them, not because of what they are worth. What they are worth should only matter if you are just reselling. In which case you should A) resell as soon as you get it (and avoid losing money due to a reprint) or B)...

    Purchase Wii at Amazon.com (11/19 @ Sun AM PST) + Pre-sales Now Shipping & Arriving

    Thanks! Pre-ordered. Might cancel it later for an instore pre-order. $600 PS3 can suck it :D I'll go Wii60 when the 360 gets a few more non-FPS/non-racer games that I'm interested in.

    Anybody know of a good vacation spot in Michigan?

    Nothing is better than the UP for a nice relaxing vacation. Drive around, check out the waterfalls and scenery, etc. And if you like casinos the UP ones certainly pay way better than Soaring Eagle (I live 15 min from the Casino there and rarely go). If you don't like nature and just want to...

    Did Nintendo FINALLY hit the nail on the head?

    You people going on and on about HD Geez My Infocus X1 projector has a rez of 800x600 in 4:3 (which is how I game). Do 720p xbox games look better? Yes. Do they look much better than 480p games? No. And I'm running a 100" screen. 480p is fine. As long as there's no deinterlacing going...

    U.S. - PSP outsold the DS by 1.2 mil in 2005

    I own like 10 consoles. Call me when the PSP has more than 1-2 games worth playing. In my eyes it's the ultimate typical male gamer console. A pile of sports games and racing games, with a very few worthwhile games. I want to play Lumines, and that's it. Contrast that with the 10 DS games...

    GameCrazy Price Drops! Taiko, GallopRacer, TimeCrisis W/Gun 19.99 or less and more!!

    I stopped by the Midland, MI gamecrazy. They didn't have most of the titles (they've been OOS for a while, especially Disgaea). But I did get the last copy of Makai Kingdom. I've been trying to get those Atlus/NIS etc titles. I'm not paying $30, but $20 is just right. Thanks OP!
