More than likely. The no job part sucks though.
Hey, at least you don't have to pay all your bills and your debt with no job.

By the way guys, I may be setting up a BST thread soon.

I bid on nintendo ds wifi usb connector, won it eventhough it was pricey. The ebay auction was done over the weekend. Called Nintendo today and they helped me solve ds connection. I have to cancel bid for the seller. I researched through nintendo and other online forums, but could fix the problem on my own.

I'm not trying to call you out or anything but do you research before you buy stuff?

Smile: Got to my favorite part of the Harry Bosch book I am reading i.e. the part where Harry gets angry, loses his shit, and starts referring to due process as a 'formality' and talks about his job as a homicide detective as a 'mission'.

There's a certain part in every Harry Bosch story where you can almost feel the odds of him bringing in the criminal alive drop dramatically. Premeditated self defense, anyone?
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Of course you don't have to call me out, the cables came with a ps2 console that I bought a month ago. My last ps2 died on me, I tried to fix it. I just don't liket to deal with too many wires. I tried to buy a particular rgb scart from the uk online gaming store, but they didn't even have any more in stock for unknown reasons. It took a month to respond back to me and got a refund.

If you have an NTSC console I would advise you not to buy any SCART cables from Europe. At least not for Nintendo consoles. The pinout on both SNES and Gamecube outputs are different for PAL and NTSC consoles, so chances are this will be the same for the Wii. If you have a PAL console, go ahead. Of course component would be better for both your Wii and Gamecube. Just make sure you have a digital out on your Gamecube before you buy one...
