Same as Rudy, I couldn't resist in the end. Been a bit of a struggle to try and get used to the N64 pad again so this will let me get full enjoyment of those quality games. Massive thanks for bringing this to my attention, Rudy!

Meanwhile, mine still hasn't arrived , and the tracking seems to indicate it's stuck in California. It hasn't changed location since July 13th. The ebay seller DID tell the package would take about two weeks, and it's not been a week yet, but every time I was told it would take that long, the package turned up under 5 days, so having to actually experience the said delay feel kinda weird haha.

Has anyone else experience dealing with the USPS tracking system seemingly not reporting any movement of the package? Another package shipped the same day also from the Los Angeles area just arrived today (Rune Factory Tides of Destiny)

Thanks for the insight

Bought the superior Saturn version, already got the PS one.

Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 for £5.75 on Steam. I haven't really ever bothered with Steam since I got my iMac, I was under the impression it was shit for Mac. But there seems to be quite a lot available these days! Got my eye on a few more things. Nice to participate in a Steam sale.

Thanks for the notice -- just picked up L4D2. Geez, I swear Steam is trying to bleed me dry, one $5 game at a time.

I highly recommend Borderlands from the Steam Sale.

Thanks Square-Enix!

New Art Academy will probably be the next 3DS game I get now. Will be downloading it though. Still, 3DS XL next week!

I had to try it out on a couple games, tonight. Clearly, the stick on this thing is much more sensitive. Trying to pinpoint a distant target with the pistol in Jet Force Gemini wasn't easy at first. But the added sensitivity turned out a major ally on other games, like Pilotwings 64, where the accuracy is crucial. I must also say that it felt super comfortable playing Sin & Punishment . Banjo-Kazooie also felt super comfortable to play.

However... I couldn't get my transfer pak to work with it on Pokémon Stadium 2 :/. That being said, I wouldn't want to play a D-Pad exclusive title like Pokémon Stadium with anyway, given the position and size of the D-Pad.

My unofficial controller pak had some troubles too. I could load my save files on Mystical Ninja, but not save for some reason... I couldn't tell if it comes from my specific controller (like a malfunction), the model itself being built to not recognize some controller paks not manufactured by Nintendo, the specific model of controller pak I use which has memory bank selector switches on it, causing the incompatibility with the new circuitry, or something else entirely.

My rumble pak works flawlessly though. All in all, I don't regret my purchase anyway.

Gonna put these down because I've already paid for the preorders on shopto.

Mine, I bought a few years back, it was a DC60+. How different is it from the 2.0 ?

@RudyC3

It's not actually an Ecap model, it's a DC60+ variant:

Now to wait for New Art Academy to go digital.

Wanted a tablet for a while, but not something that would break the bank or that would be as restricting as apple.

Upgraded from a Sony Bravia 26" LCD HDTV to a Samsung UE32ES5500 32" LED.
