I remembered I had a 20% off a Used Game coupon from GameStop for my B-day. So I took that in along w/ my copy of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and traded it in (I already replaced it w/ a CIB GH copy yesterday). I walked out w/ inFAMOUS, Uncharted 2 and 3.

$2 for Megaman X, $1 for Hamtaro Ham-Ham Heartbreak, and $3.50 for Sonic 2





Megamans label is wrecked but its playable so for $2 I can't complain.

The 3 Game Gear carts I left behind yesterday were still there today. Only today I had a 50% off coupon for everything in the store. I walked away with these 3 at $2 each with tax.

Starting to pick up a few Game Gear games, huh? Good going.

What's with the NES controller in all your pictures, if you don't mind me asking. Is it like a signature?

I bought The Witcher 2 on Steam.

... before I realized I already owned it on GOG. Someone gave me a spare GOG key a while back. Doh.

I can technically get a GOG backup key again, but I dunno if they'd let me.

Yes it is my signature. I carry it with me where ever I go also. I am not sure why as I hate the colors of it. I also hope to recap and LED mod my Game Gears and get them working. I can do the work I just can't find the caps without ordering online.

Really? They seemed fairly common. Does radioshack not cary caps any more. I mean, for all I know, they may be nothing but a cell phone reseller now. Actually, that wouldn't surprise me at all. It would be a shame though.

They have some but not the 68uf i need. I have the rest from stuff I have taken apart. I also went to the big Electronic Store Fry's and nothing. I am going to have to order some from Digikey, I just hate buying online. Radio Shack is mostly phones and batteries now.

[turf]

I picked up a boatload of common stuff. It was mostly Madden and the like. It was an all or nothing deal, and I wanted that Sarge's Heroes 2. Also got LittleBigPlanet2, GTA San Andreas, a yellow N64 control, Platinum GameCube, and all types of ill shit.

there's a site I use when refurbishing handhelds that carries a cap replacement kit for the gamegear. Its 10 bucks. might be a little high for some capacitors but its convenient.

Thanks for the link. I found this place which is a bit cheaper. Any one bought from this place?

I have most of what I need to get it working. For about the same price of 1 set I could buy 50 of the 68uf caps from Digikey. I have like 50 100uf caps that should do the job.

That's the thing. Capacitors are pretty cheap. Cheap enough that a pack to replace the GG caps for $10 is showing a massive markup. But it sucks to just buy a handful of caps from Mouser or the like. A possible bet is to go ahead and stock up on GG caps and then undercut the $10 guys by a lot...
