Things you recently bought or got

Ordered for my cousin a powerbrick for his Xbox1. His Xbox1 won't turn on and he want to rule that out before he had to buy a new xbox.

Got another v1 nintendo switch with brand new white joycons that came with a oled system for £130

Ordered these a while ago from japan. They came in today. I'm blown away at how good the condition of the Game boy light is.

I bought one about 3 years ago to recap and install a better screen. It also came with the screw on battery pack, that lasts about 15 minutes and I was going to replace the battery in it. Never ended up modded it or replacing the caps cause it still works and cause I don't really play it all that much to even bother with it. I do want to at least mod the battery pack with a newer rc battery

Keep close attention to the old caps at least. Even without usage they may leak.

My best friend just told me that the shoppers drug mart near me had ps5 in-stock cause another of our friend had just bought one from them about 10 minutes earlier. So I ran down to the store and asked and they had 1 left.

I enjoyed the Cold War campaign so took a chance on this, plus it was free with Nectar points so why not..

 

[godreborn]

@subcon959 , a couple days ago I bought psn+ from cdkeys. I was nervous doing this, because I don't want to get banned for getting a cheaper psn+. it was only $39.99 instead of $59.99, but a friend of mine has free psn 'til 2035 due to a mistake sony made with free trials. I'm not sure if sony can find this stuff out or not, but I kinda regret getting it for cheaper because of that. don't want my ps5 account or ps5 banned for it.

 

[subcon959]

@godreborn don't worry nobody pays full price for subscriptions these days. I know for Xbox people use a vpn to get the cheaper price from certain countries. I think they would shut that down if they cared enough, they just want as many people as possible on the service for now.

I blame @relauby

 

[godreborn]

@Chary , I beat the first game on the 360, think it was when I was still using a flashed drive, but I'm not sure. haven't really played the other two. I have them, pirated, on my ps3. one thing I remember is that the title in the xmb uses a weird title name pointer for the game name. the editor shows the English name first, but there's a separate English name that you need to change if you want to change the game name. think it says (digital) or has a trademark symbol or something, which I find irritating.

 

[godreborn]

btw, it does that for all three games iirc. sonic the hedgehog episodes 1 and 2 do the same thing.

What is it about that console design that is still so damn aesthetically pleasing.
