This came with a US charger and none of my chargers I can find will do 45W or better. :olol: I bought one that will do 65 but then none of my USB cables could do 45W or better :rofl: I can slow charge it but that's about it until I get new USB cables

Apparently Allphones ebay didn't give a shit and just shipped them as is. I might eventually get an adapter for US > AU but I can get more out of these cables and 65W adapters, so it's fine

The best part is I had some money in my paypal that I got via cashbacks so it came out to grand total cost to me $795AU (~526.37 US), so I was very happy with that price. That's after all taxes and the fact we get fucked with anything here in Australia. The Australia tax is real!

I got given an Xbox 360.
Boxed with accessories.
From early 2006.
That still has the warranty seals...
AND still fully works!

I'm expecting people to break down my door any second and try to take it to put it in a museum. A non red ringed 2005-2006 console was basically an anomaly by 2007 and simply inconceivable by 2009.

I took it because a few years back I got rid of my fat 360's (arcade and elite) when one red ringed and one was having issues with the drive opening and got a super slim not realising my stupid mistake.

The superslims may have had huge hard drives and may have been impossible to red ring, but they're missing an important feature I cannot live without anymore.

The superslims cannot do COMPONENT, or VGA because they don't have the port.
HDMI or an optional composite cable is it.

I don't have 640KG's of CRT's around to not enjoy component and VGA, thank you very much.

I think I'm gonna play more project gotham 3 and Forza horizon (I played them recently on HDMI, BUT they'll look better looking worse!)

Steam summer sale. I actually bought games on my steam account which I haven't done in a loooong time, some I have had on my wishlist for even longer.

Broforce.
Pikuniku.
FIREWORK.
and
Huntdown.

The only 1 I've never played before is FIREWORK, but I've seen it played before and it looked fun. All the others were cheap, FIREWORK was very, very cheap.

That's OK, may you both enjoy it as much as I will. I've gone a bit crazy on the steam summer sale this year. I bought more ultra cheap stuff! If it was just cheap, I'd put a bunch on my list and pick the one that looked the most fun, but since it's all REALLY cheap I don't have to choose.

House Flipper DLC.
Got HGTV DLC for $4.35 and Luxury DLC for $6.58. I play a little bit of house flipper pretty much every time there's a major update because they're always adding stuff to the game when it has updates so it's not just updating for no fucking reason all the time. I wouldn't have bought these at all except I respect it when developers still provide free DLC content even when they sell DLC, so rewarded them with a sale I otherwise wouldn't have made simply for being cool about it.

Shenmue 3 - Digital Deluxe for $8.54. I was always going to get this when it was cheap on a steam summer sale because after paying a shitload to back the kickstarter, I wasn't fucking paying full price for the god damn DLC that should have been in the game from the start!. The base game and the 3 DLCs Story Quest, Merry Cruise and Battle Rally will be nice to play on PC.

Nintendo 2DS

The original wedge style 2DS. Cheap from the EB eBay store due to the Afterpay Day sale. MVG has done videos on how good that version of the system is for homebrew and hacking at it's low price, so I grabbed one to play around with.

When I got mine I made the mistake of not using the beta version of Onion that supports the Plus. The stable releases don't support it and certain things weren't working correctly

The neighbor was selling an untested slim PS3 for $10, so I picked that up. The grime and crud covering it came for free.

They had some VCS titles too: Pac-Man, Donkey Kong and the infamous E.T.: The Extraterrestrial among pthers. I don't own an Atari, but I couldn't refuse $1 a piece. They even had a loose disc of NFL 97 for the Saturn at the bottom of the $1 box, I had to pick that up too. :olol:
