Ok, the bastards where lying. they claim it arrived at the post office at 7:40, and they failed to deliver it at 7:47... Oh well, i picked it up myself and im happy with it, except the 6 button avenue controller i purchased with it, doesnt work. It makes the player move up on the screen.. I did have my arcade stick though so i could try out the games, making sure they work, and yep, i suck badly at shoot'em ups just like i remembered.
I hope the shop will be easy to work with to sort my controller out one way or the other.. But i do have a question to guys (or girls) on here.. How fussy should the console be reading the cards? I have some connection issues, where i have to remove and push the cards back in until it eventually starts the game up. This happened to almost all the games. I did clean them, so i imagine its the consoles port thats perhaps a bit dirty.. Any good ideas on how to clean that? Its difficult to use something like a credit card and cloth given the slot design.. Will i need to take it apart to clean the port?
As for the games, SF2 is SF2 so not much to say there. Bomberman was interesting, and ill try that out more later. I had no idea what i was doing in the soccergame, but im guessing you progress naturally with just one team etc, and i had no idea what the options where that i can choose from before the match, and during mid-pause. The dodgeball game was easier to figure out, but dont really have a clue there either. And as i said, sucked at the shooters but im guessing ill pick it up as i play more.
My LCD actually picked it up fairly well using the composite cables, sure it doesnt look great, but it does look good enough from a distance. And one i get my DUO-R, the rgb mod will help clean the screen up further.
Overall im happy with it, and import-related fees came out less than i had expected, not bad. For now im stuck in Skyrim, but ill give the PC-E some more game time the coming week, and it feels good to finally own one. I wasnt surprised at the small size of it, but it did weigh more than i expected, that was a little surprising.
