@_buchu Sorry to hear--I'm always worried one of my PS3s will die one me. One makes an annoying clicky noise that I don't remember happening a couple of years back...

@ImportGamingFTW Wow, the only system I have had die on me was a PS3! 🤞

At my parents' house I found the old Sega Saturn I bought from a friend when I was in the 8th grade. All my other disc-based systems here--PS2, GameCube, Xbox 360, Dreamcast--no longer function, but I can still play Panzer Dragoon, and in glorious RF output! Saturn won the war!

@Developer_n0 I'm thoroughly impressed, Saturns are the only Sega consoles I've never had problems with. The Saturn official RGB cables are a different story, however.

@ImportGamingFTW Honestly sega did the saturn justice when it came to the disc drive. Those things still keep going long after my ps4 slim failed its drive after 5 years

@camille_karel Segata Sanshiro smiles on us from the heavens.

@hikarinoei73304 Oh, for sure! The oval-shaped buttons look better, too...at least to me.

@ImportGamingFTW Your Saturn also seems to be a Model 1, as well. Model 1's have an objectively better build quality!

@hyper_hed Nice eye--yeah, it looks surprisingly great for RF on a flatscreen from 20 years ago...and I didn't even really notice much lag, either.

@ImportGamingFTW Actually looks pretty good on that Viera Plasma

@codylagann1998 I enjoyed it years back!

@ImportGamingFTW Oh cool, you have Gabrielle’s Ghostly Groove 3D. That’s a great one. :)

Hello, everyone! This is a thread of video games, guide books, figures & more that I have for sale. Please see pictures below. The link includes a spreadsheet w/most of what's shown, including a base price, current availability & condition notes. 1/? docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

@TheRetroMartin I'd love to get them restored--I don't want to toss them as they have sentimental value. I will always regret throwing away my original PS1...I must have played that thing for a thousand hours as a kid...

@ImportGamingFTW I wouldn't get rid of the other consoles. May just be a simple recap is all that's needed. I'd send them off to get redone and make them good as new.

@_nightopia_ Sega CDs are some of the most notorious. I've had faulty Mega Drives and some of the early Sega stuff, Game Gears...

@ImportGamingFTW I take that back, I've heard about some common issues with both models of Sega CD, in particular the model 1.

@_nightopia_ @_buchu Yeah, I've had issues with PS2s (my two in Japan currently are in complete working order, thankfully). This is my first dead GameCube, though! I know there tends to be issues with the laser or drive belt, however.

@_buchu @ImportGamingFTW For me it's been *multiple* PS2s, and most recently my GameCube 😩

@Rush_nerd I think it's just them not being used in years. I'm pretty sure the lasers in them died. The PS2 will work intermittently, but fails often and takes forever to load.

@ImportGamingFTW Wait, your ps2, GC, 360, AND THE DREAMCAST just don't work? I'm not even aware of those just up and dying, but I guess they are pretty old at this point.

@Chrisw801 I've only had good luck with Saturns, surprisingly.

@ImportGamingFTW Surprisng. I have had to recap many of them to get them to work.

@ShiftHappensPod @_buchu Note to self: Genesis and N64 are impervious to dog pee...however, DO NOT try to test this.

@_buchu @ImportGamingFTW Same here I've had so many other consoles that have been through so much: Genesis & N64 got peed on by my dog - both still work O.G. Xbox got backed over by a car in the driveway - (long story lol) still works PS3 - nothing happened to it, it just stopped working

@A1ex85_ It's a keeper!

@ImportGamingFTW You could get like $300 or more for that boxed copy of Dragon Force !!

@N1Warhead I think it's mostly dying lasers. I would love to try to fix up some of them, as they are my childhood (and early adulthood in the case of the Xbox 360) consoles. Good to hear you got your OG Xbox fixed, mine died out when I was in university.

@ImportGamingFTW Do you happen to know why your other consoles do not work? From my research after getting back into collecting these things is a lot of times is the capacitors (you can find kits cheap online). I did my first Xbox (original) repair and it worked! It felt so awesome fixing it.

@bloopledebleep1 Exactly why I don't trust that fake news, "lamestream media." We all know the planet Saturn is made of Segata Sanshiro's dreams...and it's only gaseous when his dreams include eating Mexican food!

@ImportGamingFTW Saturn. Solid as a rock. The console...not the planet, which as we all know is a gas giant. At least according to mainstream media.

@UpaUp4UpaUp4 I actually purchased a Fenrir a few months ago on Yahoo Auctions! It's amazing.

@ImportGamingFTW Get an ODE!

@medic_wheat Dang, I'll have to check things out from my end, however since I already purchased it from my account years ago, I'm pretty sure I still have the option to download. Well, looks like you might just have to download the ROM if you haven't already.

@ImportGamingFTW Good news and bad news. Good news — the PS3 PSN store is working. I was able to add the limit of 10 digital games at a time, and I should be able to pay once I get a gift card. Bad news — Adventures of Little Ralph appears to have been delisted.

@famigamers Thanks, man! If there's anything you're interested in, let me know!

@ImportGamingFTW Oooo I think I missed that. Let me have a look now

Thanks again to everyone who has reached out/purchased the games & other things I put up for sale recently. Just a heads up, they'll only be available for about another week--after that, all or most will go to a local game store. LMK if you want anything! docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
