Other Console Finds

I got an N64 for free with 10 games, and I got FF1 for NES and Zelda, for free

I was able to score a new DC VMU for $3.60!

^ nice, I've been hoping for a free N64 score.

Well, nothing but trouble with that seller. "Her son" insisted he sent exactly what he listed, and that he took the pic himself. So I had to SNARE his ass in his own lie. Fucking lol, follow the magic pic.

^ File a claim with ebay, and report him. I can't stand when sellers do that, I swear they do it just to make an extra buck.

Yeah that's what I did and she relented with a refund. I do believe HER perspective, even though her kid was full of shit. She seemed kind of clueless about the internet in general, caught in the middle. I told her she's lucky it didn't get sent out to a hardcore collector.

*sigh* way too much effort for a low-cost thing. At least it was good for a laugh, old-ass dude snaring a kid in his internet bullshitting, haha.

[RiilihShimo]

Well at least you got your money back. xD
Did she let you keep the controller or did you have to send it back?

[oopsmyseamandied]

I'm sending it back postage due. I don't care for Dual Shocks. Too small. I'm stuck on the size of the OG analog Sony, or the Hori ones for games that don't seem to sense it.

[RiilihShimo]

Ah I see.

I still have my original ps2 controllers w/o dual shock .. I don't see why those are supposed to be better then the originals.

[oopsmyseamandied]

Oh damn you mean deep OG controllers? I love those too, I should say I do use those foremost, whenever I can. The smallness is okay without sticks in the way!

I scored a pretty dope Hori model of those not too long ago:



I'm running my PS1 as a CD player, that's all I use that particular one for :)

[RiilihShimo]

Yeah! The deep OG controllers.
Nice score dude!

I have some really old controllers ive never used, they with 2 games. I got them years ago at value city. Idr if the controllers have dual shock or not, but they are a clear blue and you can see inside the controller.

I had an unusual find today. I got hassled by some kid wanting to sell me a DS Lite for £70 this morning. I had to shake him off me, he was so persistent Anyhow, as I returned today he was there again ! This time I took the bait and offered him £20 for what looked like an old PSP ?

Anyway he took the money and I checked my booty. It says Sony PSP 1003 behind the battery. It has the joystick missing and came with six games all with cracked cases - only one game (Monster Hunter) loads. Still, I've ordered ten replacement snap-together UMD cases and a replacement joystick off Ebay for £7 total.

It plays the game well enough, actually played MH for a couple of hours tonight and it so reminded me of PSO.

So all was well, it seemed to be a bargain but for one thing. It won't connect to online. Everytime I try and put the password in, the character screen pops up and then disappears really quickly. I've tried resetting but to no avail

I guess it's still ok for a games playing machine but a shame I can't get online. I'm guessing I paid about the right money afterall.
