If the answer is NO to 3/5 then that is why you do not get the Wii.

YES (but I am soon turning 35

), NO (except on rare occasions); NO (not very often, except if you consider having diner with family members is like partying); single ? YES for the moment, and am afraid it's going to last for some time; I have both, single and married friends.

I also have MANY friends who smoke cigarettes regularly and I find this habit mostly annoying, and their rotten breath mostly disgusting

. One of them stopped, hope the rest will follow our health ministry recommendations.

But wait... May be you asked those questions without expecting an answer, just to prove a point ?

Being a Nintendo fan (well, sort of) I should say I was disappointed with the Gamecube when it first came out, with the dumb Donkey bongos and such, now, with "relaxing space" between that time and today, I would give it a second chance, using the kids as guinea-pigs to establish whether the games on that platform are really enjoyable or not.

I made a new thread on which you're welcome to post about your DC desires.

Dude, what happened with your hair??

Part of Fiat aero-dynamics??

Back to the topic, I'm looking to buy HD for my PS2. Looking at 320-500GB for a nice price. (will not pay more then $60 for it, last one I bought I paid $47 for 320GB used in my xBox)

After I couldn't get PS2 Action Replay for reasonable price I opted for HDLoader DVD.

Anubis · 21 October 2008, 16:24

I bought Galactic Civilization II.

Not retro, but nice game.

Well everything arrived. All is good with the exception of the battery... it don't work! Stupid 'replacement' battery! Getting a replacement sent.

chiark · 21 October 2008, 17:33

Tony, this is well OT but I got a free battery for my second hand iBook g4 because it had been recalled - the swap is still ongoing, check out the apple ibook battery recall

tonyyeb · 21 October 2008, 17:51

This is a G3. I doubt they are doing it from 2002

Not buy, found, a action replay cartridge for the ps1. Clearing out the loft of my workshop and found a bag with all sorts of weirdness in there and a very stained yellowing A500. Must have put it in there 7 years ago when we first moved to France and forgot it was there...
For buy, we bought a underfloor heating system for the house which means no horrible radiators in my games room, I did however have to sell one of my turbocharged bikes to fund it

rsn8887 · 22 October 2008, 00:37

Bought Jak and Daxter (PS2, $4.99), and Splinter Cell (Xbox, $1.99). Ordered Klonoa 2 (PS2, $7.99). Also received Mortal Kombat 3 (PS1, ~12 bucks) by mail yesterday. Yay what a great port! Way better than Midway Arcade Treasures version. On Mame it is unplayably slow on my pc.

Dizzy · 22 October 2008, 01:17

bought a HTC Touch Diamond Cellphone

Thorham · 02 November 2008, 15:46

Today I bought:

1 pair of Philips stereo headphones, model SHP2000, for only 11.99 EUR, and they're actually good enough, yay!
1 box of 10 TDK CDRWs. For 10.99 EUR. Blasted things are 1x-4x speed

grrr!
1 One metric pound of Douwe Egberts Black coffee, 2.79 (?) EUR (forgot to get coffee yesterday).

exoticaga · 03 November 2008, 00:22

I have a 10pk from the amiga days, they're still in use today. I have 12x ones, they last for years.

rsn8887 · 03 November 2008, 17:22

Bought Psi-Ops for Xbox. I am not overly impressed yet. It made me want to play Second Sight again.

MazinKaesar · 04 November 2008, 21:48

I bought a passive cooler for my X1950 Pro videocard. Really, I bought it 1/2 weeks ago, but I installed it only now.
