GPU is like $15.95 per month here if you subscribe. Works out to be just over $190aud for 12 months.
I haven't seen any 12 months gift cards lately for it, only 1 & 3 months.

Pretty close to what I pay. 19 bucks a month after tax. I don't even notice it anymore. I use it a fair bit though. Although mostly fo76 right now :P
But getting to the point where I have no idea what to do in the game now so might table it again for a year and then see what extras are added by then.
I can't find the Prima guides for Dark Cloud 1 and 2 anywhere. Not online anyways.
There are other guides online. But if you really want the prima guides then you might have to buy them.Quote:

Google (or whatever) can usually lead you to tips etc if you're stuck with something in a game.
All domestic prices here include tax. Adding tax only happens to imports but it's still possible to avoid that. Not via ebay etc though.Quote:

Yeah pretty sure tax being part of price is due to consumer rights here.
I mean with electrical stuff it isn't impossible to get warranty claims even when the warranty has expired.
so zal poked me the other day so i figured I'd post something. I was going to check in last year but I never got around to it besides I had fuck all to say I still have fuck all to say.
We thought you maybe just didn't like us anymore *sniffle*Quote:

Hi Grouch :)
Jazz was last here 12th July.
hey.
I would send Jazz a PM anyway.
I do that sometimes with people that aren't actively posting and they usually reply at some point (if they have email notifications turned on it doesn't take long).
didn't even think about that.
Unless it something non-Jazz specific you want help with? :wacko:
Totally ok if "no" for whatever reason, just trying to be helpful.
it is unless you know any other active members that can do console repairs.Quote:

Jazz has way more experience doing complicated stuff, but there are quite a few more common issues I'm familiar with depending on what console it is. I've also done modchips in the past but not recently.
Also, most consoles I've done work on are PAL but some are Japanese.
I have a lot of consoles but I'm still missing some platforms (PC Engine and some others).
currently I have 2 problem consoles 1 of which I'm really upset about. my ps3 died a couple weeks ago it's either the psu or far more likely the wifi/bluetooth and my psp has a broken screen
I was going to hook it up yo my tv but I can't find the fucking option for it i was thinking about a new screen for it but i don't know if it requires soldering or special screwdrivers.
It's fun af. :wacko: I can get new clothes for like a dollar each lol.Quote:

If the PS3 is later non-fat model pretty sure the wifi/BT is actually on the motherboard and not a separate module you can just swap out.Quote:

So basically; if it's a slim or SS it won't be as easy to diagnose and repair.
PSP tv output...

I actually haven't repaired a PSP screen yet. I do have a few different models, even an Asian model but all still work ok.
The Asian console could do with a fresh joystick top, looks like it has damage from nail varnish remover or something similar (bit melted). The joystick still works ok though.
From what I read to replace PSP screen there isn't any soldering.
Philips head screwdriver is needed, no special tools as such but it's possible to damage some stuff if you aren't careful: cable connector can be broken, strip screws by not applying enough pressure (they're tight apparently).
I've done DS screens before (no soldering unless you blow fuse) and PSP seems less complicated overall, but as I said I haven't done it myself.
Another thing to worry about with this sort of thing is dust getting in when you're replacing a screen.
I keep an eye out for all sorts of things and get most birthday and Christmas gifts from work :)Quote:

I wish I had kept a collection of guides from various games and eras before Megaupload went down. Before Megaupload was gone, you could find pretty much anything.
I have the SS model if it's the psu it's an easy fix you just replace it with a new one it's literally just screwed in. I have a page bookmarked for the other issue it's a bit more complicated you have to remove the chips from the boardQuote:

that's good to know I'll look around and see what a new screen will cost.Quote:

I'm assuming it isn't an LE variant though.
As I said I have several PSP's, different models. I never paid much for them except the first one I got (E1000) which was very lightly used store ex-display (inside locked display case not just sitting on a counter). Pretty sure that was from Kmart and they stopped selling the games like a year before that anyway. It was basically abandoned and forgotten in the display case :lol Didn't cost much anyway (like $30 or something) but that was the most I ever paid.
I've got into the habit of duping my consoles in recent years. I always did do it to some extent but I'm a bit OCD about it now. Nothing worse than having one unit and then something goes wrong, so I did something about it :wacko: Maybe went too far, but whatever. I have some non-working consoles for spares too (not PSP, but PS3 is an example of that).
I found a huge list of strategy guides, unfortunately Dark Cloud 1 and 2 aren't in there but if you want it I can dm it to you.Quote:

Most of my PSP consoles.
Most of my PS3's.

Heaps of DS consoles but most have been Lites.
A few Gameboys.
Super Famicom.
2x Gamecubes.
Quite a few PS2's.
Several original Xbox's.
NES PAL.
2x Atari 2600, one is 4 switch woody and the other is large rainbow Jr.
Model 1 Mega Drive PAL.
Master System 2.
Loads of spare controllers of various types and God knows how many PS2 memory cards (I sent some to Gyp a while back as part of a trade).
Boxes and boxes and boxes of games. All kinds of stuff. I have way too many of them and keep getting more @_@
Probably left some stuff out, but yeah working there has been great overall. I've collected so much shit :wacko:
do you ever come across RC cars?Quote:

Think I've only seen those maybe 2 or 3 times and the batteries don't hold charge.
Yeah I've collected some matchbox and hot wheels stuff too. Mostly loose but I do have some Gran Turismo cars that are still carded, they aren't worth much though iirc.
Also some majorette, corgi and dinky. A small handful of vintage matchbox lesney (50's & 60's).
Not all cars, there are some military vehicles and trucks. Dinky I have is all military and quite large.
