August 2017 Pickups!

[wiggy]

This one is now $21. Would you say it's even worth it at that price?

I mean, I felt it worthwhile for $27, so...

Honestly, this game doesn't interest me too much - however, I bought it because I want developers to keep doing this.  So if this sells well, it increases the chance we'll get additional titles for the system.  And $21 isn't bad for a SNES  game these days

At this point, they're losing money on the sale and they're surely just trying to recoup as much of their cost as possible.  I.e. buying a copy at this point isn't gonna push them to develop anymore games.  In fact, they're probably thinking the exact opposite :/

Maybe, but I bought it when it was still $35 a while back.

I got a Sony Trinatron 36 inch off Craig's List for free last night.





Nice to have something larger than 20 inches for light gun games. The tv has a 1080I mode that forces the screen to 16 : 9 but it looks really sharp for an older tv.

Edit:: apologies for the huge sideways pics. Anyone know how to fix that?
Edit 2:: attempt to fix pictures. Sorry still learning

If it's 1080i, it may not work for Lightgun games. The screen can't be digital at all. So if there's HDMI inputs on it, I'm pretty sure you're out of luck.

Correct.  If it's one of those wide screen Sony Trinitrons, I can confirm that they will not work with light guns.  I used to have one and I loved it for component based systems that used widescreen (like PS2, Xbox, Wii, etc), but I still prefer a regular 4:3 Sony TV for the older consoles and light gun games.  If I had the room, I would have kept it and used a 3 TV setup, but unfortunately, I had to give it away and stick with my 2 TV setup.

surprisingly I set it to the 1080i enhanced mode last night and Time Crisis II worked like a charm. I am really looking forward to playing Elemental Gearbolt this weekend.

I gave it away a while ago.  Also, it weighed just shy of 200 lbs.

I wanna get some opinions on this. Someone a couple hours away is selling the Sony XBR960 with the stand for only $50. It's widely considered like the holy grail of CRT tech. But it's HD, so it won't do light gun games. I've already got a great LCD TV in my game room, and a 24" Sony that DOES do light guns. Part of me wants to pick it up just so it doesn't get trashed or recycled. Preserve something that's just that awesome. Don't know if I'd even be able to use it much though

No way I would pay $50 for that.  At this point, I wouldn't take any TV like that if it isn't free.  Most people just want to get rid of these TVs and they are getting difficult and expensive to throw away, so there is no reason to charge anything if someone is willing to pick them up.  It's a different story is the person is willing to deliver and help move, but even then, no way I would pay $50.  That's just me though.

It is considered e-waste here and you can get a hefty fine if it is not disposed of properly. The TV must be electrically discharged and a lot of places charge you money for old CRT disposal. The county got tired of Trash catching fire when a CRT would spark a flame.

Oh, this picture is old and doesn't represent the current console setup, but the TV setup is unchanged.

Wish I could do that. I am still waiting on a 24 year old to move out of my basement....

I have another 20 years before I have to worry about that.
