Steep price? Sure, it's not super cheap. But it's no more than the price of an Xbox One. It's less than the price of a new AES when those were around. I thought it was pretty reasonable considering the pricing of other ways you can get into MVS carts. Anyway, I am very pleased with my decision to go the Omega route. Easily the best gaming decision I've made in years.Quote:

Agreed. Nice piece of equipment. Worth the cost in my opinion.Quote:

I've really got to pick up some more shelving to get things properly setup. Until then the Xbone makes for a good Omega stand. :lolz:
Hearing this and bubbas praise of the Omega, I think I'll save up for one! It sounds very quality!Quote:

And just took that pic right before I posted it today. xsq had asked in someone else's thread to see pics of me actually using the Xbone as a stand for my Omega to keep it off the carpet. And there is sits... :lolz: I've got no desire yet to open the Xbone. Rather just toss a cart in the Omega and fire that up instead. I even have a copy of Ryse for the Xbone. It's still sealed as well.Quote:

Welcome. Figured I'd post the pic here and not in the thread you asked for it. Didn't need to pollute Skinny's collection thread anymore than I already did... :lolz:Quote:

So I've just enjoyed my return to Neo life and haven't felt the need to even open the Xbone yet. It'll get opened and used at some point. But for now it makes a good Omega stand. Also fun to mess with people to show 'em what I use my Xbone for... :D
Nice candy :PQuote:

I do still wanna find myself a nice 4-slot big red at some point. But that'll probably wait until either I buy a place w/moar room. Or sell off my Gauntlet II cab and setup a 4-slot where that's currently sitting.
tldr: "suck it rot im a mother********** king"
pfft... n00bs..

What was wrong with yours? Leaky caps?
Rot, the whole point of updating my intro thread was me being a bit proud of the fact that I didn't end up a worthless fuckin burnout like you feared might happen. That's it. Sylvie's comment, while not rly having anything to do with what my intentions were was just an amusing post.Quote:

I was happy to be rid of a Duo I didn't need, Gohung was happy to git a Duo, and the person I gave the PS2 to was happy they could once again play their favorite PS1 game from childhood. Was goos for all involved.
Yeah, the caps were leaking, which I replaced, and I did an rgb mod. It had issues reading disks too and it was beyond my ability and patience at that point, so I finally sent it to chop/jetblue and he fixed her up. Just got it back a couple of weeks ago.
Damn, forgot I had photofuckit pics in this thread. :( Should fix that I 'spose. Prolly should just take some new pics as ballz & berry had asked for newer pics. And now that I've finished picking up carts it'd be more appropriate for new pics...
