teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[Necromancer]

In between smelling the sea salts at my ocean side condo on the east coast, and working at McDonalds and Taco Bell, my broke ass picked up:
CLD-2080 LD player

If you weren't living in a van down by the river, you'd be buying Blu-ray. 

Hellraiser widescreen Laserdisc
Hellraiser 2 Special Edition widescreen Laserdisc

Awesome.  No tears please; it's a waste of good suffering.

That loose saturn game and Square/Enix booklet were free

Nice scores Mike!! 

That DOTD Director's Cut is the Dario Argento cut, right? The one that has all the "comedic" scenes taken out, along with some new songs on the soundtrack? I honestly don't think I've seen that yet.  :oops:

Its the extended cut from the 1978 Cannes Film Festival showing that Romero put together before it was released in theaters. The theater cut is actually the directors cut according to Romero. They (Anchor Bay, Elite, everyone else) used to refer to the extended cut by calling it the director cut back in the 90's. Honestly don't know why??? Maybe they just assumed every time you added extra footage back in it qualifies as a Dir. cut perhaps, or felt applying that label would help sales?

Yea Necro, I love the first 2 Hellraisers. The fourth one is pretty nice too, so I need to nab it also. I'm borderline on 3 as I wasn't too hot one some of the direction it took.

Ahhhh. The same thing happened when they released the Star Trek II Director's Cut DVD, with added scenes. Nick Meyer, the Director, calls its theatrical release the Director's Cut for the same reason as Romero stated above, since it was the one that was shown in theaters. The added scenes, or different takes, were actually shown on TV during the 80s. I guess adding those scenes filled the time in the television slot better, or something.

Ketsui was ported to the DS? Is there a tate mode on there? Ketsui is also making it to the xbox360 in japanese. Def the only recent game I'm excited about getting.

Thanks to the wonderful folks at risingstuff.com, I finally have one of these:


Which means I can finally play games on my projector that hates 240p:


A hundred inches of screen and every damn pixel and scanline is visible and lag free. I love it.

[ceti alpha]

Nice ooPo. The scanlines. 

[TR0N]

Ohh nice oopo the xrgb+ up scan converter is hard to come by.

[Arkhan]

Tired of people buying my girlfriend like that...

>_<

[Joe Redifer]

Might want to adjust the color on your projector there.

By the way, I think Streets of Rage 2's box art beats out the Japanese version's for sure!

[Tatsujin]

Great buy. You might want to look into modifying it to accept scart instead of jp21 RGB cables. Scart cables are easier to find for your consoles and definitely cheaper than the japanese counterparts. I have the non-plus 2 model that's modded for scart, and it's the most important piece in my video game setup.
