    I got this beast for free, it should go to the scrapyard! :shrug:

    Along with an old P4 server and some old PCs. But the RAID server is quite awesome (Sustained RAID5 Read/Write at 566/484 MB/sec). AND seems to work just fine. :-0

    I was talking to my co-worker last week about LaserDisc players. He said he had one somewhere that he doesn't use anymore and would give it to me.
    Today he brought in this.

    The laserdisk door needs a little coaxing at time to eject, but other than that, it works great.

    Wow! See, it pays to strike up conversations about archaic technology with random people!

    @Bomberhead: fancy the chances of that, randomly discussing about Laser Disc players and your co-worker hands you not any LD player but a CLD-A100 model, great stuff :thumbsup:

    It's a shame it doesn't work for me discussing Uncharted stuff with my friends and hoping they'll say "I have an Uncharted Press Kit you can have it dude"...one in a million :crying:

    Uncharted Beta/Press/Preview discs wanted PM!

    I know! No one else at work understood my reaction when he came walking up with that hulking beast. I tried to explain that it wasn't just ANY LD player, but for the most part they looked at me like i was crazy.

    That's pretty awesome. My brother did the same with a coworker, and bought me home a huge box of laserdiscs, so that was nice at the time!

    Went to a flea market once and got 2 original PlayStations for $1 each, AV cables, RF cables, power cord, everything except a game and a controller came with it.

    Fortunately I had just passed a booth with 2 PS1 controllers, so I scurried back to there.

    Yes, I was shocked when I saw the bid price... And also more sorprised when I won the auction with only that bid.

    Now, I'm waiting the packet sent from Japan via EMS. When it arrive, I'll take and later, upload, some photos of these 4 debug PSX :drool:

    i dunno its actually a miracle but i ve brought star wars battlefront 2 platinum hits for xbox, it cost 20 reais (12 dollars), but when i went to the mercadolivre, the only copy it was 60 reais (35 dollars) the black label version, and on ebay there is some people selling battlefront 1 and 2 in the black label or platinum together for 50 dollars.

    EDIT: today ive brought the shikigami no shiro for aorund 8 dollars (R$15,50), and forza for the same price.

    @ Wondering Gamer, Was that all in one buy? Did you need a shipping container? xD
