Post by: burningdoom on July 17, 2014, 04:55:15 pm: I believe that test units are the ones that programmers developed games on.

Do you want it? If you do, buy it.

The only always-true answer to the "should I buy this" question ;)

Post by: thecrypticodor on July 18, 2014, 09:43:27 am: From what I always heard about these test units is that they're supposedly region free and boot burned games.

You'll give us more details with an update when you get it from him, right? ;D

Post by: soera on July 18, 2014, 10:14:50 am: I would seriously buy/trade this with you. Ive wanted one of those (and some of the colored TEST units) for a while. I found a red one locally but the guy wanted almost 2000 for it and, at that price, he will never ever sell it.

Post by: argyle on July 18, 2014, 10:39:22 am: That's an awesome find. I've never priced one before, but I'd probably pay that in a heartbeat without even haggling with the guy.

Post by: zico on July 18, 2014, 04:05:17 pm: i'll give you guys a full update once it's in my hands and I get the chance to test it out.

Post by: zico on July 18, 2014, 08:12:28 pm: So this guy has 3 more of them. I'm thinking about buying them. Anyone interested?

Post by: foxhack on July 20, 2014, 04:10:00 pm: DUMP THE HARD DRIVES. FOR GOD'S SAKE DUMP THE HARD DRIVES. If there's development files in there they should be preserved for posterity!
