Collector/Buyfag Thread: NEC Edition

Well, it's not expensive by any means, assuming you have a low voltage soldering iron laying around. All you need is an LIR2032 and a battery holder that fits the same 3 prong setup on the board, which all together runs you about $8. Open it up, melt the old solder off, remove battery, put in new holder, solder contacts, insert battery, put case back on. Done and done.

Yeah, I'd been holding off on Rogue Galaxy since I'd recalled seeing something in the past about it not working on certain PS2 models, but took the shot and it works on mine.

Already have Odin Sphere half paid for due to a $25 gift card I got for Christmas. Still not sure if I'd rather get the PS3 or Vita version though.

Just got a rare import, locally, for both the share threads, and everyone worldwide, since the seeds are gone.

Try guessing, before I expose it

Any experienced buyfags here know if it would it be worth it to go to Japan for, among many other wonderful things to do there, the chance to save on games for various platforms and have even a slim chance at landing something like a PC-9821, a Neo Geo CDZ, or an X68000?

Not real familiar with what imports are exactly rare, but I assume it's a PS3 game that never came west, or one that got butchered if it did, since otherwise I assume otherwise there wouldn't be a demand for someone to rip it.

What, you mean the shit nobody really gives a fuck about? Not really. Like every other weeaboo who thinks Japan is hot shit, you're just setting yourself up for disappointment. All the games and shit that people actually want have for the most part been siphoned away from there.

Not that I think you're lying, but do you have any kind of link or source on that? It's strange that every other travel guide or site or discussion board I've seen gives the opposite impression.

Something Kamen Rider related.

both correct, last statement slight difference, but technically correct.

another hint

This video made by two very obsessive collectors and the article it's based on

People have pretty much snapped up all the interesting games/consoles, at least in the big cities.


I'm going to guess drakengard 3 because the european version is just a slip of paper with a psn code.
