In general though the consoles themselves and first party controllers pretty much held their value. Most stores sold off their hardware stock at retail prices with maybe $10 leeway. While PSP games plummeted in price the handheld itself held it's value until none were left on store shelves. I would expect the same to happen for the 360 and PS3 consoles. They'll sell off at retail price or really close to it and simply not be restocked.

Far from alone I've done this before with code but I can top ya. Four years ago I taught my kid how to film and edit his own lego video. I even decided to record the whole editing session. At least I thought I was recording. The wonder and excitement in my sons face as he cut together video and added sound effect and music was awesome. Then I went to dump the footage... Aparently I had bumped record before I intended so my recording was not the unusable moments. It was the boring crap before and after because when I was hitting "record" it was really stopping. And when I was hitting "stop" it was recording. I really hate these cameras where stop and record are the same button. The reason I say this tops times I've deleted code is because I am capable of writing it over and typically it's better than my earlier versions. In this case I'll never capture that genuine awe, wonder, and excitement of him piecing together his first project and learning the tools ever again. :/ They say that "Pain is temporarily, film is forever." I'd like to add "Pain over lost film is also forever." Hang in there man. We've all done it. If you have the space save a second copy every 5 minutes.

Kinda the point of this particular thread my friend. But if it makes you feel any better I opened up a new thread in the general chat area that might be right up your alley: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/233149-what-did-you-do-for-christmas/ Back on this topic my wife, son, and I got: * 2 nes30 wireless gamepads These WiiU games we bought from JohnnyBlaze here on AA * Batman Arkam City: Armored Edition * Mass Effect 3 * Tekken Tag Tournament 2 * Super Mario 3D World * Nintendo Land * Mario Kart 8 My Wife got me: * Hyrule Historia Hardcover * Scott Pilgrim vs The World the boxed set My in-laws got me: * Millipede for the 2600 * Dino Crisis 2 for the PS 1 My wife and I got each other: A gaint 9-section poster of Cloud Holding the Buster Sword from FF 7 Advent Children

Not gonna lie. Only got it to display it. That and I am hoping they hit their numbers so we see a version 2.

Yeah, I went through the process last month. Didn't bother with online. Went straight for the 1-800 number. They did a console swap. Which I was hoping would not happen since I had a lot of stuff that was not replaceable (Obviously save games. But also other stuff like miis for pets that have passed away). But as I said the console they sent me back is like new and the one I sent in had definitely seen better days. They also activated the purchases I made on the old console so I could re-download them on the new console. According to the person I spoke to on the phone they still do repair and replacement for consoles going as far back as N64. That's quite impressive.

As a heads up Nintendo has the returns thing down to a science. Call the number on the bottom of the console. They give you a ticket # and where to mail it in. Within 2-3 weeks you have a like new console. Just recently did this with an out of warranty Wii I had that died (after 6 solid years of service). It was very painless. I'm sure it's even quicker/easier for a system still under warranty. While we are on the subject. Register your console and they extend your warranty even further. All this said. I also bought my WiiU a couple months ago from JohnnyBlaze here on VGCollect. It was supposed to be a Christmas present this year. But after I opened it up to test it. I lost all will power to wait for it until then. Instead we packed up all the extra games it came with and opened those on Christmas.

I agree. MK 1 on game boy is an abomination. Even if it is the only version of MK 1 released that let you play as Goro. MK II for game boy was surprisingly good for what it was!

This month I just gave up and got a Turbo Everdrive.

If your still looking for Arcadia games. I don't have a console but I do have 8 CIB games available for trade. I'm just looking to make back what I paid rescuing them from Goodwill.

Useful controllers? Can they be used on a real intellivision?

Alright guys for $20 I'll bite. Just went halfsies with MagnaFarce since if you buy 2 shipping is free. Came to $43 after tax for two of em. Not a bad deal at all. Based on the feedback here I'll probably just take it out to test it then put it back in the package.

sorry for resurrecting an old thread. But I know you are still active here. Was there any further progress on save states? Does my current Encore perhaps already support this? I checked the manual but saw no mention of save states.

Mega Force! Nailed it! Thank you!

Glad this got necro'd. I just read through the whole post. Gonna grab the final version and check this out on my harmony! I Googled this and searched the forums but came back with nothing. Are you pulling our third leg?

Not my turn I know but this one's been bugging me for a year because it was one of my favorites on my 2600 as a kid and I can't remember the name to go out and get it now. 1) Side scrolling shooter 2) Not Defender or Defender 2 3) The city at the end looks like a palace and if you destroy it the game ends

Yes! And don't forget Tiger Woods (Masters), the Trauma Center games by Atlus, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Xenoblade, Resident Evil 4, Kirby's Return to Dreamland, and Bully: Scholarship Edition. Even if you just get a WiiU to go through the back catalog of Wii games it's worth it.

*disclaimer, I'm working on my own review videos to be launched soon* The only reviews that urk me are ones where: * The person doesn't actually give a review they just randomly spout random stuff about the game * They use the same 30 seconds of game footage looped over and over for 5 minute video. * The person is clearly just doing it for the views vs doing it for the love of it. * The person thinks making a funny video means saying completely stupid, and factually inaccurate things, while swearing up a storm. I like video walkthroughs sometimes when I need to know how to find something. Like some of the harder to find blast shards in infamous for example. Screenshots don't always cut it. I also don't mind video reviews that are true reviews and genuinely entertaining. Play throughs are okay but I am sometimes worried it will spoil the game for me.

This is really the the kicker for me too. Right now the only games that interest me at all are upgrades of games I already have on PS3.

And it has arrived! 2600 home brew here I come!

Is there a list somewhere off all the homebrews that have been publicly released? I'll try finding these 2 and that new pac man that's being worked on!

Finally scrounged up the money for a Harmony Encore! Can't wait until it arrives so I can try out all the homebrew and attempt to make my own in batari basic.

I never could beat Donkey Kong Jr. Math.
