Congratulations for the overpriced most uncomfortable and crappiest joystick I've ever held in my hands

Maybe you should buy her one of these in return instead of that pamper package

Saw review other day - they got many things right, but one thing that turns me against product - only 3' controller cable?! (about 1m)

Seriously - you are expected to sit right in front of TV to play games with this?!

It feels better than my Competition Pro 5000 although the housing seems to be pretty much the same and I can't accidently hit the autofire button with my left thumb like on my Competition Pro Star.

The TAC-2 (besides the Suzo Arcade) will most likely stay my favourite joystick, though.

Thankfully there are extension cables available already.

Got two sav64 kits from SkyDivinGirl, one for me and one for a friend. No more fear of killing my C64 with a shitty PSU!

PS4 Slim 500GB
for €196 (Black Friday Sale)

This will be some kind of an experiment. The PS4 will not be connected to the Internet. I have no idea how this will work out. Is a modern gaming system usable without any patches at all? There are Day-One Patches around bigger than the whole Amiga software library. It will be interesting to see the result.

btw: I could connect it to the net, but I want to see if the PS4 will be just little more than a brick in ten or fifteen years, when all servers hosting the patches will be shut down.

I bought a broken Amiga 500 for a decent price. It's my first A500, and I was planning to use it as a testbed for repairing others. It's actually not too bad, a little battery damage from a leaky battery on the A501 expansion that I've now dealt with, the floppy drive needs realignment and a couple of ports on the back need to be replaced. But all fixable, and all for around the price of the RGB SCART lead it came with
