So I managed to snag Guitar Hero III off of eBay for 48.98. Used, though. Still a great snag saving 60 bucks over retail.

Played it on Console. I mysteriosuly missed a few notes. But I took it as lack of skill.


Then I found the most amazing program called Frets on Fire.
Which was great, 'cause I could play it on my laptop in the living room because I needed to stay in the living room with my mom for the week who had her gall bladder removed (lulz too much info).

But I noticed the same mysterious note missing. Huh? But I finished a song with good percentage. HAD to be lack of skills.

But I found out that my guitar decided to NOT CONNECT AT ALL.


Well, my mom got lots better. So I plugged it into the PS3.

Same blasted flashing lights. It wasn't computer or ps3 specific.

Either the guitar is fritz'd or the dongle is.

Looked it up, and many other people had the problem. Developer's fault.


But slickdeals.net let me know that there's an official Les Paul PS3 controller for 27.91. Ordered that babe quick fast and in a hurry.

But then I thought.
I might could pull the switcheroo.
And tell them the one they sent me is defective, and maybe they'll offer me an exchange.
I'll put in my defective guitar and they'll send me a nice new one


But would it work?

    @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.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

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

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.

    @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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    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:

    @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
