Personally I don't see the reason of all those 100 + headphones as I don't get why people do it.
Because generally spending $100+ on headphones gets you a quality pair that is actually able to play various sounds far more clearly, increasing the overall quality of the music. If all the music you download is shit quality, odds are you wouldn't notice a major difference either way, but a good pair of headphones with decent quality music can make a world of difference. Listening to music really takes a step forward with decent sound equipment.

Yeah I hear a lot of people say that but I guess I'd just need to get used to them. Maybe if I have enough money I'll get a nice pair of audio technica headphones

For quality sound. I assume you just use like $5 earbuds or something and you don't care about actually hearing your music as it was meant to be heard. I prefer actually hearing my music in a quality fashion, so I buy $100+ headphones and earbuds so I can thoroughly enjoy good music. Some people care, so people don't, it's just one of those things that's entirely preference based lol


EDIT: Oh, ND pretty much :ph34r:'d me. :hateit:

Although last Sunday's convention was rather disappointing, I did manage to find a DexDrive, a copy of Leisure Suit Larry III for the Amiga (both this and the DexDrive are cib), and a model 2 Mega Drive (which means that I can leave my model one in its box :P ).

I just bought a copy of OoT 3D for $80 (after shipping). Not for an exploit, but because I wanted a physical copy of the game and I damn well wasn't going to wait until the prices went up even further which would inevitably happen sooner or later regardless of this GW3DS debacle.

Preordered the MGSV collectors edition. And I bought Metal Gear Solid on PSN, so I can finally start the series. :D Then continuing with my Legacy Collection.

I was just about to do the same thing lol, but I just preordered MGS5 and some other stuff. I'm just waiting for Persona 5 to pop up on amazon (:

80 fucking dollars for Ocarina of time?

Holy shit, I know what im selling in a couple months, check back here when I say I got 200 dollars for a shitty zelda game ;O;
The game is out of print, which means new copies are basically nowhere unless stores have left over stock or personal sellers happen to be sitting on a sealed copy. Combine that with an increased demand after the release of Majora's Mask 3DS and you have a fairly hot commodity. I should mention that the $80 I paid was for a new copy, still sealed, from Canada no less lol

To add on to my earlier purchase, I discovered that my mouse didn't just have bum batteries, but completely quit on me instead. I went ahead and bought a Logitech M310 for about $19 after shipping.

Finally got around to grabbing a 128GB micro sd card for my Surface Pro 2, now I'll be able to save all the porn in at least a sort of carefree way!

Though I just heard SanDisk announced a 200GB Micro SD card, so I'm sure prices for 128GB will drop :sad:

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
