Yeah lemme just buy something that wasn't readily available and I have to solder it like a pleb instead just picking it up at the store and plugging it in.



I'd ask if you're retarded but you literally bought an X1 just to stream "how bad" it is to internet strangers for hours.

I'm so pretty, oh so pretty.
Dude it's totally easy to replace the PS2's power supply, just buy a new one from Rich's PSX Parts, open the thing up and teach yourself how to replace a bunch of poo poo in a console older than the person selling you popcorn at the theater. Just as easy as going down to a pawn shop or whatever and buying something you plug a power cord into.

lol soldering

the ps2 power supply is about as hard to replace as the power cable is, if you can change an n64 cartridge you can fix your dead ps2

I have two PS2s!! In addition to my two Gamecubes. I am at least half a true gamer. What's the exchange rate for GameCubes to PS2s?

That generation was the worst in terms of broken consoles for me. My fat white 360 still works Actually it can't read discs anymore.

Well yeah, every time my 360 external brick failed I said "I can take this money and either replace it, or do the smart thing and spend less money on an entire PS2."

Our money is actually worth more than yours so a decent 6 figure burn would have been to point out he's including the pennies after the decimal point.

tbh that was a super weak joke. You could have said "I can't believe how many figures are in Crafty's salary" and it would have tied back into the thread pretty much perfectly.

Yeah, 1 GPB is about 1.5 USD, so a 6-figure salary in the UK would be a 9-figure salary in the US.

I liked how the only first party title in microsofts big sale was the steaming turd that is MCC.

Like they really think anyone who was gonna pay for Ryse or Sunset Overdrive hasnt bought it yet.

I looked at the list of games and was made content with my purchase of other games at full retail because there was gently caress all enticing poo poo on that list.

Isn't that the one where people aren't actually able to use all 4GB of RAM at full speed? I suppose that's one reason why they're getting cheap.

The sad thing is that this doesn't really move it out of its place atop the price/performance curve any. That's just how big the gap between the 960 and 980 is on both metrics and how bad AMD's dropped the ball (and the R300s are yet another refresh!).
