teh "what did you buy today"-thread

That was on feature I loved about some of the 3DO game pads.  The built in headphones jack + volume knob.  Why more controllers dont feature this is beyond me.

Imagine you've got headphones plugged into your 3DO controller. And you're playing your friend in Street Fighter II. But the controllers are daisy chained to one another, because it's the 3DO. Your friend gets aggravated and jerks the controller causing your massive melon to be moved mercilessly because you have something on your head, connected to a controller that's connected to not just the system but another controller. What a terrible idea.

True, seems like the exact same controllers except that the Sansui ones come with a headphone jack and vol slider.  I was able to pick up two of these for my NES. 

AAAHHHHHH....the BEST controller for NES ever!!  Every once in a while i scour ebay for one, but yet to find a good enough deal to pull the trigger. Such good.

I've never even held one. I have given up on ever getting one.

Looks like earbud pads disintegrated ...

I have two myself. Love that I can jack in my earphones and the controlor is a bit bigger and feels better in my adult hands

The Sansui one looks very similar to the Hector 87 Famicom pad I picked up recently.  I mainly got it because of the awesome Hudson Bee.



It does not have a headphone jack though.

 Outrun 2 might just be my favorite racing game, I was just playing the hell out of SP in the arcade yesterday.

I found a copy of Final Soldier while I was out. It doesn't work, just has garbage on the screen. :sadpanda:

Sweet, Outrun 2 is a must-own for the Xbox! If you don't already have it, you should also try to pick up Outrun 2006: Coast to Coast... it's a little harder to find, but totally worth the effort.

I'll take Outrun over Gran Turismo or Forza any day of the week!

I know. I am so tempted. But it seems like an extravagance when I have so many NES/Famicom controllers already.

I REALLY DO LIKE the idea of a headphone jack, though. I have problems.

Yea I try to hit 4 -5 thrift shops to make it worth my time. I almost missed the NES game because they had it practically hidden on the side of their media shelf

Thanks for the heads up, never played 2006 version and have not seen it when I hit places. Are the PS2 and XBOX versions equivalent or is one superior?

Have you ever played the Forza Horizon series? You may like that more than the sim style of Forza/Gran Turismo

The Xbox version is slightly better, but the PS2 release can be picked up a lot cheaper for some reason. I'd say just grab whichever one you can find for a reasonable price, they're both terrific!

I did really enjoy Forza Horizon... haven't played part 2 yet, as I'm waiting to pick up the Xbox One version whenever I actually get an Xbox One. At least FH2 should be dirt cheap by then, lol.

Still, there's just something about Outrun that I find massively appealing... they should have called it Super Happy Sunshine Beach Day Sexy Drive.

Today's thrift store finds (Tecmo Bowl was from a game store)

[vmorr]

Picked this up at a swap meet today. First time going so my expectations were kinda low but there actually was a ton of stuff. Lots of import games too, only picked up the 1 MD game cause I don't really know what's good out there. Coolest thing to me is the Saturn race wheel, it's not complete but $20 with a box I thought that was great. I'm killin Touge King right now.
