JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Bring back consoles that look like hifi components I say! 110
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 03/10/2026True story, I bought a Sega Rad Mobile Deluxe cab for $300 NZD. When I got it home I found $374 in coins in the base that must have missed the hopper. 040
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Valid point, you can literally buy a working PS1 for half the price. 010
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It would probably be the same here in NZ. Master System kiosks where in all the toy stores. NES didn't really exist here and SNES was imported in small numbers. Game Boy did ok here, but the Atari lynx probably did better than the Game Boy colour. The SMS2 sold very well. 000
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I loved the Ps2 eye toy version where they could crawl all over you and your surroundings. Sure it was a gimmick but it was fun. 000
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It makes you think, how did they not catch and rip out those cables just walking around? 022
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Except for the fact that the SX-32 is very rare and worth thousands now. Especially the Pro. 000
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I have one for PS1, but I'd like to get an mpeg card for Saturn and CD32. 110
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Wow this is actually pretty awesome. Can't wait to see it. 120
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 24/09/2026That's because the PS3 didn't get the original Doom3, it got the updated BFG edition years later. It also had 3DTV support which was pretty cool. 120
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 23/09/2026When I went to rent out Street Fighter the movie the clerk warned me there was no refunds. I should have listened. The only decent one was Street Fighter II the animated movie. 030
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Made 20 times better with the Bobcat Goldsthwait speech pack 000
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I've only had one out of 9 dualsenses have stick drift. It's usually a wear issue so you can either just replace the stick unit with another one or replace with a hall effect unit that eliminates wear as the surfaces inside dont contact each other. 110
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The biggest issue apart from stick drift, is that the thumbs tick rubber is way weaker than the on the dualshock 4. Most of our dualsenses that we use are missing the rubber tops now. Barely any of our dualshocks have any wear. 110
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Looks like a frustrating game. Or he stepped on some Lego. 100
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I love the switch esq layout of the photo. Very good. My fave was lotus turbo challenge 2 on the Amiga as you could null modem two machines together and play 4 player with 2xsplit screen. Lots of fun. 110
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Is that adlib? I've only ever played the Amiga version and the music is better than that. 010
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 15/09/2026People forget Xbox only supports dual layer discs and relies on smart delivery. 000
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I have one of these too. For ages I believed the internet myth that it was created for the space shuttle discovery launch but there is zero evidence for that. The only sure evidence is the TV ad that shows it to be associated with motorbikes. 000
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Cd playback track and time maybe? A few older consoles have them, CDX, CDTV, CDi, Nintendo Playstation prototype. 001
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I prefer the extra discomfort of the original side cable SMS controller. Plus it has the removable middle piece for screwing in a joystick. 120
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Ive been threatening to buy one for ages now, but they have gone up in price. Such an interesting bit of computer /console history. And games still needing a keyboard is classic Commodore. 010
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Xbox: we're rehashing our old Xbox One idea that everyone hated so there's no blockers to moving to all digital and we can sell our new driveless console. 000
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I mean cool, but the post made me think it was a 32x update, not a pc port. 000
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 02/09/2026It won't have a disc drive because that was the plan way back on the xbox one launch, to set up the landscape for a digital only console. Sony just emboldened them to push forward with the original plan. 000
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Yes, and if memory serves me right 3d cockpits which GT didn't have. There was also squares Driving emotion S-Type. Ps2 was spoilt for good racers. 110
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Exactly this. Im wondering if we'll see a return to Xbox One 24hr online check ins. That was the original plan this was all built on. Without it there'd be no IDs on discs for this to work. 000
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Yes but how do I lose the licence if my xbox never goes back online? The point I'm making is will MS require online check in for this licence system to work? 100
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Sorry, let me rephrase that. I convert a disc to digital online. I disconnect my xbox forever. I sell the disc. Can I play the game forever off-line? Can the person I sold the disc to claim the digital licence? Can they play the game from disc without claiming the digital licence? 200
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 01/09/2026So, how is a game license transferred if you are permanently off line? Or are we back to online check ins? 100
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 30/08/2026True, but that's no different to digital and is kind of another issue. 010
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Pretty sure my copy of Sonic CD on MegaCD will be just fine. 200
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 29/08/2026As someone who has around 1000 discs across all different formats, I can't say I have any issue with them. 210
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 29/08/2026What in the world do you do to your discs? But hey if love digital then power to you, people just want choice. 160
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 27/08/2026It's so stuffed that people see this as great when it was Xboxes original go digital plan from Xbox One that everyone rallyed against. Hence they've had codes on disc since xbox one just waiting for when they could spring this. 000
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Your right, everything is fine. The console industry is heading in a great direction and we should all be happy. Enjoy your day. 100
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Removing something then putting in place a half measure isn't pro consumer. Saying oh well at least they've done something doesn't absolve them from the causing the issue in the first place. And how is wanting better game ownship rights moaning? 100
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Half full? This is some of the worst anticonsumer moves in the history of gaming. Why would anyone be happy being forced into all this? These companies don't have our interests at heart, just our wallets. 100
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I don't know whether to laugh or cry that Xbox are just going ahead with their original Xbox one launch idea that got booed into oblivion, which made playstation make the famous this is how you share discs video. Now we're back to online only constant check ins and this is good? 000
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 27/08/2026They can always stop honoursing that if they want. It's their system. 100
JoolsFS @joolsfs.bsky.social · 27/08/2026www.digitalfoundry.net/news/2026/08...digitalfoundry.netXbox's Disc-to-Digital Programme Is Official, and It Starts Next WeekIf discs are going away, this at least makes it more tolerable. 100
