Found a decent condition ps2 slim with memory card, dualshock 2 for 10,- the PSU was included as well but is undergoing cleaning. Tossed the composite cable immediately. Haven’t owned a ps2 in 13 years. A lot of great games in the ps2 library that I missed over the years. Time to prepare for price shock?? ![IMG_20200623_193721](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/retrogameboards/original/2X/2/21fa495daea5a36696e75e33eedf099c6a7039aa.jpeg) ---

Nice haul. Haven’t seen any decent 3ds games at retailers in years. ---

Bravely Second was 5€ a few weeks ago at an Austrian shop so there are definitely some deals to get. ---

Actually I find PS2 games to be pretty cheap if u look around a lot locally. I sold my whole PS2 collection at one point and I rebought some of the classics when I see them for cheap and I would say I spent roughly $60-70 and got a pretty decent stack of games. Part of it has to do with how many of the greats got remasters ---

PS2 isn’t old enough yet to have the library get expensive. PS1 is just really entering into that era now where prices are going up. It’s still a very good time to collect PS2, Xbox and most Gamecube although Nintendo games will always be pricey. ---

Depends what you consider expensive, but there are a lot of pricey gamecube games and the rarer ps2 games are not far behind. ---

My BKM-129x clone card. After a quick fix I have it up and running _perfectly_ it sits beautifully flush in my 20L2 and has BNC connectors (I attached the RCA jacks) my card is significantly brighter than the stock card but this is something (so long as you only run component on the clone card) you can easily remedy via the service menu - as Y and C adjustments only globally affect YPbPr signals and as I’m only running RGB through the stock input it doesn’t matter. So happy to finally have this - I’ll post some more images once I have it calibrated and ready to go. ---

It looks like a lot of fun: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/_WODjBm-8oQ/hqdefault.jpg "GTI CLUB for Wii 日本上級コース (difficult Japan course)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WODjBm-8oQ&t=100) * * * > [@Gravitone](#): > > Nice haul. Haven’t seen any decent 3ds games at retailers in years. Cheers! Nintendo must have overprinted a lot of late 3DS games in Europe, it’s crazy seeing even Fire Emblem Fates go for the equivalent of $2 new and sealed. I guess this excess supply means these games will forever be low value in the future, though some third party cheaper clearance titles are surprisingly pricey now, like 7th Dragon III and Project Mirai DX ---

Rarer stuff will always be pricey, and often those games aren’t representative of the best games, but just the least available games. There are exceptions to that, as there are to anything. I think the difference between PS2, Xbox and Gamecube, from a generational standpoint, is that PS2 sold sooooo much more both hardware and softwarewise that it’s kind of nuts to pay more than a few bucks for a lot of the library that’s not the rare stuff until we get at least another five to ten years down the road. And again, Nintendo stuff is always going to be worth more, because Nintendo. Wii U may even get a surge in the next five years because it’s going to be among some of the rarest Nintendo stuff around. Anyway, PS2 is still pretty viable. I’d hate to be starting a collection from any gen prior at this point because nothing is cheap anymore when you look at PlayStation, N64, Saturn and older. I’m glad I have so much of it even if it does take up a significant portion of my shelving in my home! ---

The creator helped me diagnose the issue - I confirmed his hunch the 75 Ohm termination isn’t working on Y/G with a multimeter. I can see on the board now there is a gap between one of the resisters and the pad. I’m about to head into work but it looks like it will be a nice easy fix when I get home. Just a blob of solder and if I get 75 Ohm on the multimeter I should be good to try again. Martin (the creator) and Nick (the guy that produced them) have both been really generous with their time so I don’t doubt we’ll get it sorted out shortly. **edit** It was a 30 second fix with a soldering iron. I just touched up the resistor and I was in business. Runs like a dream now. ---

I should add that the issue with mine was it was one of the very first to be produced and it was an easy mistake to make. If you have a compatible model and were considering one don’t hesitate! ---

Was nostalgic for the early 2000s “badass women fighting bad guys tv shows made by acclaimed directors” genre and got these 2 games! ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/retrogameboards/original/2X/7/7abbd28945631ab5ffe6464dc125d4e8a03480d5.jpeg) It hurts to see that acclaim (American kusoge machine) publisher logo on the Alias box but oh well 😛 Edit: also got this somewhat forgotten Konami game. It’s still super cheap 😮 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/retrogameboards/original/2X/1/1eee80d8b5358b9766cfb767a0398abcfb16476c.jpeg) ---

That’s in nice shape. I’ve wanted to pick up a white one since I got my first DS in 2009 (NoA stopped selling white ones by then) but all the used ones are so yellowy and gross. ---

Thanks! It actually arrived in better condition than pictured. The shoulder buttons have some yellowing but overall it’s in good shape. The pink one is my daughters and I’ve had the black one for a while. I bought a white one new back in the day but sold it. So it’s a homecoming of sorts lol. ---
