Just got an original PlayStation with a bunch of games, 2 memory cards, 2 controllers, av and power cables, a gun controller, and an arcade type controller. Some of the better games included were Megaman 8, Megaman Legends, Gran Turismo, and Time Crisis. The best part? All this was FREE.

The top one is an amazing deal, the bottom one was flux. The bottom one will not be able to be used in a portable feasibly.

Well hey, it's only $2.00, not a huge loss. If he doesn't want it then I'll probably buy it from him.

There's no EBgames where I live. However, whenever I go to an EBgames, I'm kind of disappointed. Plenty of last-gen stuff, games mostly, but very little if any older stuff. I remember though, where I used to live there was an EBgames and they had LOADS of stuff. Back then N64 wasn't that old but I think they had older stuff that I couldn't identify at the time.

Now there's a Play and Trade here, which is a lot like what EB was like back then.

Anyway, it's pretty clear the guy at school isn't actually going to sell me his PS2. Dang. Oh well, I have a GameCube and a modded XBOX. And a Dreamcast. Damnit, if I had a PS2 I'd have every 6th gen system!

I'ma stop hijacking this thread now.

Anyone want a gameboy box, just pay shipping Fraid I'm keeping the Gameboys themselves for an LSDJ project.

Edit: Mike Thurson's bagged it. Might have a GameGear box on the way too so if anyone wants that give me a PM.

in the art room at school there is a box of totally destroyed electronics stuff. They rip apart electronic junk and turn it into 3d "art". Well the other day I saw the cord from an nes controller so I stole it.

I noticed that the wires are blue, purple, white, and brown, so it is from a zapper.
Time to hack my sj3 zapper to be used with a real nes.

or who knows. maybe I will do some testing with random transistors I have to see if I can actually make a zapper.

Spent around $80 or so yesterday, out of town. Hit up a bunch of places.

I bought from a game store:
-PS2 Slim (bare): $20
-Grand Turismo 3 (PS2): $2
-ATV Offroad Fury 2 (PS2): $2
-PS2 Memory Card (official): $15
-XBOX Controller (Intec): $10
-Dreamcast VMU (Sega, Green): $10
That particular place is great. Good selection, decent prices, but best of all everything is cleaned, tested, shrinkwrapped and guaranteed to work.

From not one but two thrift stores:
-DualShock 2: $7
-JSRF/Sega GT 2002 (XBOX): $7

I also went to an EBgames. Didn't, but could have bought another XBOX for $25, or a PS2 fat for $20. With all cords and a controller. They also had GameCubes for $10. Guess that stuff really is worthless.
