Only one is made per folder. Unless you're storing a TON of metadata or making a ton of folders, there's very little overhead to using a Mac.

I have a 20GB (upgraded to 750GB) and a 60GB. They were bought at a time when the PS3 was the least expensive Blu-Ray player around.

I have a 46" 3D TV, but the only thing I played for longer than a couple minutes was Call Of Duty: Black Ops. FPS games look a bit different in actual 3D. Just need to get the TV back in place and set up.

At one point, I started a project to map out all the video game mergers and acquisitions. Currently, Taito's owned by Square Enix.. and they never had much to do with pre-crash systems. Namco or Activision-Blizzard would be among my guesses. Given the hint that Curt gave.. I'd even go so far as to say possibly even Sega or Nintendo. The latter of which would be quite hilarious, given the history between Atari and Nintendo (insomuch as the 7800 was released in lieu of an Atari-branded Famicom and this new hardware is based on the 7800).

Sorry for taking so long on this. All the empties I have are currently stored in large plastic storage bins that I'm unable to move on my own and haven't had any success in getting help to make them available to count out. But I did manage to whip up a storefront w/SSL and ordered some USPS Flat Rate Priority boxes, so I'll theoretically be able to take orders for them once I have a good idea how many of each type I have. Stan: I believe I have some multiple-DVD cases in there somewhere. I know there were some import anime DVDs I have that came in standard-sized cases that were 3 or 4 discs. I just don't know how many I have at the moment. Ax: All my cases are from a smoke-free environment. About the only thing wrong with any of them is a small number of PS2 cases got clawed by my cat. If I can help it, those won't be going out to anyone any time soon, but I believe I have some cases that will fit your bill. Now, it's just a matter of getting to them.

I discovered why my camera looked so awful in the more recent shots. I'll be uploading new shots soon.

I know this is an older game by now. I picked it up when it was on sale for $8 or so with the Time Savers and Boost Specials packs on PSN. I had played the demo just a little bit and had an idea what the game was about. Recently, I started playing it to see how fun it was... and I'm sorry I waited. I'm not usually one for racing games (I don't even drive IRL due to being prone to panic attacks) but the added modes of Marked Man and Road Rage make this quite fun to me. Just a few days after playing it for a bit, I've gotten all the billboards, gates, and jumps finished plus all the original bike Road Rules. I'm now working toward the rest of the main game's trophies (I have both of the Boost Special DLC trophies now), so let me know you're from AA if you see me online.

I started out using IGN.com for this, but found a lot of their platforms' listings lacking (such as Vic-20).. so for strict listing of my collection purposes, I made my own in XML+XSLT then moved to XML+PHP once I got a bit better.

Kotaku indicated there IS a way to opt-out of the class-action waiver. http://kotaku.com/5840517/new-playstation-network-terms-of-service-include-a-no-suing-sony-clause So basically, you have to do the old-fashioned "write your thoughts on paper and mail it in" thing.

I'm not sure if the Sega Genesis stick I have is the one you list as "Sega Genesis Arcade Fightstick", but you may want to note which of the AtGames Genesis devices have SD card slots. Mine definitely does. It's this model: http://www.buy.com/prod/official-sega-arcade-master-table-top-console-with-26-classic-genesis/218054715.html They offer a handful of extra games here: http://www.mugaatgames.net/Home.php

Sorry for the delay in info.. lungs haven't been exactly cooperating 100% lately. I'll be counting cases available shortly and will look into making a Paypal order page or something for everyone to put their picks in. As far as the type of cases, I know for a fact I have the following: Blu-Ray - Blue Blu-Ray style (single & double-disc) - Clear PS3 style (single disc) DVD - Bluish-black PS2 style single-disc w/ memory card holder - White Wii-style single-disc - Opaque green Xbox-style single disc - Translucent green 360-style single disc - Black DVD style single-disc w/ chapter page clips - Black DVD style single-disc w/ eco cutouts - Clear DVD style single-disc w/ chapter page clips GC-style Mini-disc - Black GC style with memory card holder I know don't have any of the WB-style cardboard/flap cases available (I haven't moved any of that style to sleeves and only have like 2 or 3 total anyway) and I don't have any multi-disc that hold more than 4 or so discs available. The larger-style multi-flap case art doesn't fit in the sleeves, so I haven't moved any of those.

The only amazing find dreams I have are finding a cache of vintage Star Wars figures for 50c a pop.

Is Golfland/Sunsplash still in Mesa? I don't get around town much anymore, but that might be an alternative if you can't get as far west as Metrocenter. It's basically Castles & Coasters with a water park instead of the amusement park.

So, you're saying that the XM is how you solve a problem like MARIA? (Thumbs up to those who get it)

If the sticks themselves rotate.. that could provide the impetus to port Ikari Warriors or Heavy Barrel to the new system.

Wasn't expecting this sort of interest.. I need to go count cases I guess

I'm immortal, so I don't really have to worry about this. But on the off chance someone somewhere DOES figure out a way to put me out of everyone's misery, my games will go to my clone.

Just a question here... is this console going to be released in lieu of or in addition to the 7800 XM?

I've changed over the bulk of my video game, anime, and movie collection to DiscSox disc sleeves and now have a metric f-bomb-ton of leftover cases of all kinds: - CD Jewel Boxes (half, single, and double-width) - DVD Amaray Cases (single black, double black, PS2 card slot, Xbox green single, Wii white single, Gamecube minidisc single w/ card slot) - Blu-Ray cases (single, double, eco, clear PS3, and red PS3) Does anyone need any?

My wallet is weeping at this news.

I thought they posted a followup article.. the redesigned Wii is EU-only. All North America Wiis will have GC ports. http://kotaku.com/5831855/nintendo-has-no-plans-to-release-the-wii+minus-in-america

This reminds me of something I noticed in World Of Warcraft recently.. practically every boat you see docked or approaching a dock does so on the STARBOARD side.

I can understand the removal of the paddle games if there are no paddle controllers included. Also, didn't Curt say there was some special electrical requirement for the keyboard/touchpad controllers that couldn't be met with the new hardware?

Only problems I've encountered are jumping across open shafts.. it doesn't always accept the jump button press, so I go tumbling across the shaft to the next floor down. In any case, it's pretty fun.. gonna have to go back and try for gold on the early levels. I have the original on Taito Legends for PS2 and PSP .. plus Elevator Action Returns on Taito Legends 2. Looks like there's also two older Game Boy versions that weren't released here (Elevator Action EX for GBC and Elevator Action Old & New for GBA) in their original forms.. Dexter's Laboratory: Robot Rampage is theoretically Elevator Action EX with Dexter's Lab characters.
