Few little bits for me here too

Cannot wait for bomberman! No way I was going to get a uk copy at the crazy inflated pricing and the jap version is 95% english language anyways :)

Sadly the PS2 is scratched to bits, and GT3 and Fifa 14 haven't got manuals

when I plug it up to my LED TV it flickers or "jumps"

but it only cost me £10

hope a new cable will sort that out? I guess I need a cable from retro gaming consoles, PS2 to RGB scart ?
 
A few new arrivals yesterday from Japan.

Super Street Fighter II - MD
Sonic II - MD
US Super Tennis (weird to get that from Japan!)
Wario Land 2 - Gameboy
Dr. Mario - Gameboy.

The condition of the Gameboy boxed games are just staggering. Japanese gamers really treat their gear with respect!

Yes PS2 to RGB SCART.

You should still clear a tenner on FIFA 14 should you decide to sell it.

Very nice again, Matt. I'm guessing you spent more than $5?

I got offered a Japanese backwards compatible 60GB PS3 the other day with a few Japanese and PAL games. £50 was my offer, but he wanted near £65 including delivery so I passed. Not sure if I did the right thing.

Picked up this for a fiver today, just tested it and it works ok.

No game, but I already have the game and gun. But can't pass up a boxed G-Con for a fiver.

If that's to an LED TV then doesn't it depend on how well your TV converts the signal?

This YT channels has loads of videos on TV hook ups.

I'd of snapped his hand off for that PS3, they'll be so useful in the future being able to play PS1, 2, and 3 through HDMI
 
I used to love mine with the foot pedal and cocking slide. First time I used it I ended up getting teh slide straight in my eye lol
 
My PS2 RGB SCART, is from those guys and I'm happy.

You have to be careful on eBay because they'll call cables RGB, when they really aren't. I bought an XBOX RGB, from eBay and it was rubbish. I got a refund and bought one from retro gaming cables.
 
E1000, white only.

So no WiFi, single speaker and no TV out.

But from what I've read, faster load times and same screen as 3000 but without interlacing issues.

Seems perfect for single player, physical media games.

True. Got a Neo Geo AES the other week, the box and inserts were so good I thought they were new! The serial number on box confirmed it's original though. hit-japan on eBay are excellent for imports.
