Video Game "Look what I found"

[ApolloBoy]

Where did you find that female 8 pin DIN with U shape!?...

And what do you mean by converting it into an actual NTSC system?...

It's already running in 60Hz, and MS games are regionfree. So I don't get it...

I found some DIN jacks at a local store, which is real nice considering they're hard to find online. It is running at 60 Hz, but the video encoder is still set in PAL mode and the master clock for the system is still the same used by a PAL console. I actually tried composite video with my PVM and it wound up confusing my PVM; you get fullscreen video like you'd expect from a 60 Hz machine but the color encoding is messed up because it's still technically in PAL mode. That's why I need to convert it into an actual NTSC system before I add S-video to it.

So you have a PAL 60 signal, and you want an NTSC signal.

I take it you need to replace an oscillator to change the clock speed to change the color then?...

You paid either market value or over for these.

Lollipop - currently $20, Xbox version is $16 -
Ico/SOTC -currently $20, has been $15 or so before -
Brink - $7, has been less than $5 - http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/ ... dition=new

Catherine, Love is Over - plenty around the $50 mark sold on eBay - http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sadis=2 ... ondition=3

Sorry to burst your bubble on those, but people should know that they aren't really grabbing a great deal if they find them for a similar price elsewhere, they are just paying about market value.

Nice grab on the Wavebirds though!

Based on your link, The only one i saw for "about" the same price sold for $51 (good price) with a $10 shipping fee (ouch) for a grand total of $61.00, oh and this "sealed" box set also
has a long horizontal running tear along the plastic (defeating the "sealed" selling angle), all the others were for $60 and above (not including shipping).

I understand what you mean, but I got mine for less than market value (over $10 less from lowest price) and sealed (with the plastic in mint) sounds like a sweet enough deal and find for me to post.

On the other hand you are completely correct about the other games (ps3 games)
i do feel i paid a bit much looking back now.

Nah, the ICO Collection alone is worth the $45 you paid for all three of those games.
