Just celebrated my 40th birthday a couple of weeks back.  My ancient Sony DLP died some months back, which was a real drag since it was my ultimate gamer TV (240p Natively, plus up to 1080i with a MASSIVE amount of inputs).  Anyway, the Sony is dead, long live the Sony.





75" of amazing picture.  Loving it so far.  Just have to locate the mic/spy device so I can severe its connection...


Yet another Square-Enix sale, and another stack of games that are going to sit on a shelf for a long time.




I picked these up for the business (going to take a look at making replacement & custom parts).  Can't wait to open em up and dig in!

I said this in the other thread, but that's the exact TV I'm looking at right now.  I've really been wanting to play my PS4 Pro on a 4K TV. 
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

It's nice, and you can't beat the price :)

Got this at a gamestop by poaching a trade.
Kid almost traded for $0.50. I offered 2 bucks towards what he was trading for. Store Manager seemed to not care

Got a decent deal on this Xbox1X with elite controller on craigslist for $400. Guy was a very close drive from me. I don't know how good of an upgrade it will be though because I have a 1080p tv.

Even with a 1080 there really is not much of a difference.  Need a 4K to get the full potential.

This isn't exactly true. Games that have a dynamic resolution should run closer to 1080p most of the time and some games have a higher frame rate on X. Even though I have a 4k TV, I usually choose 1080/60 over 4k/30 if there is a choice.

Damn you.  It's like you are reading my mind.

I want to get one of these as well, but I don't want to buy the games.  I want this with either the new SD flash cart or one of those cheaper multi MVS carts. 

Was I reading correctly that you can use Saturn controllers with this?  If so, that makes it even more tempting because I wouldn't have to buy a controller.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

Dude, just grab one if you have any desire to do so. They’re not gonna be up there forever. He’s using the 1C board too.  Expensive and sought after for consolized MVS.  Worst that could happen, you sit on it for a year or so, then sell it for WAY more. The price is sort of unbelievable.

I'm not super familiar with consolized MVS's, but I thought that they had some type of "credit" button built in to emulate inserting a coin into the system.  Does this have that?
