Recent Purchases and Good Finds

Thats a great find bro. I love mine and its heavy as hell too.

picked up an S type black saturn controller from the flea market for $2.

@bigsexyc420: Niceā€¦

I picked up a Saturn3D controller for 3$ this weekend. Can finally play nights the correct wayā€¦

Donā€™t know if this is the right place for this, but Amazon dropped their prices on Round 1 TEā€™s to 99.99 and SEā€™s for the PS3 to 39.99 and for 34.99 for the 360. Ordered 2 360 SEā€™s to mod for cheap.

@Evawingzero

Awesome, I need to get me one of those. But Iā€™m sooooo eagerly waiting for a tut to do rj45 with the Saturn cables. Iā€™m dying to get in some Alpha 3 action in on my Saturn.

I hear ya on that man, I picked up the Street Fighter Collection a LONG time ago on ebay for 10$, Still sealed. Waiting to play it

picked up fatal fury battle archives vol 2, sealed for ten.

Not game related really, but I just bought a new 27" 2.66ghz i5 iMac for around $1640 shipped. Retail price is $1999.99 plus 5% tax for me so I saved over $450 or about 20%.

27ā€™ā€™ woah. thats a big screen, i gotta upgrade from my 13ā€™ā€™ monitor -_-

Think mineā€™s going to win hands down! :smiley:

Went to Gamestation in town today. They had one PS3 TE price marked at 49.99. When I went to buy it, the guy said that it wasnā€™t on the system yet so I could have it for 40 cash! Took it without hesitation lol. Was really pleased :slight_smile:

Oh, and 40 works out to be $60 according to XE.com

WOW Thatā€™s cheaper than the fucking SE. Lucky mofo.

Yeah, pretty damn lucky! Only thing that worried me was that I didnā€™t get a receipt so Iā€™ve no clue how my warranty thatā€™s on the TE will work, or even if there is one. Theyā€™re nice guys though, said that if i ever have any problems with it, just to go to either of them directly.

OT though; Playing on stick for the first time is pretty damn fun, such a learning curve though.

Unlikely - the 40 you just spent went straight inside that employeeā€™s pocket. It would have taken a matter of seconds for the store manager to enter that stick into EPOS stock, so yeah - sounds dodgy.

On the plus side, TEā€™s are pretty solid so you shouldnā€™t have a problem with it.

Gamestation have had their brand new SEā€™s and TEā€™s on sale for a while now between 20 - 55, so you were lucky to find one.

Oh yeah, I know full well that I was fortunate to find one, and where the money for it went! If anything happens with the PCB or any other component, iā€™m pretty competent with a soldering iron and already have a MC Cthulhu, JLF and OSBFā€™s laying around.
At the end of the day, regardless of the warranty - a TE for 40 is a steal.

dang JDM whereā€™d u get dat one? lol if it was on a auction props to ya man =D

It was at a local Game Repair Store.
Laugh.

Got myself a Namco Arcade stick for the playstation on ebay for 20 a few weeks ago aint had time to test it yet :D. Wanted one of these when Soul Blade came out on the PS (yearssssssssss back)
