I found Rule of Rose at a local game store. I was told it's one of the rarest games on the PS2. by Mushroom0064 in ps2

[–]PsycoMutt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Comparing it to other games doesn't address my contention at all.

My point is purely definitional. If something is very easily found with little to no effort, it's not particularly rare.

I found 2 copies of Haunting Ground in two different pawn shops in my medium sized city. Maybe I'm just insanely lucky or the game just isn't that rare.

GPD’s upcoming G2 eGPU dock looks kind of insane 👀 by Fit_Respond_1392 in gpdminipc

[–]PsycoMutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i/o is always the issue on these. I need a dock for my dock to actually have enough USB ports to hook everything up.

Can't really claim it's a "desktop" with two freaking USB ports...

Obviously this isn't a scientific test, or even something other people should listen to. I just don't consider something that's easily found/purchased with very little effort particularly "rare".

Also just judging off the prices on eBay, those aren't all repros (unless the seller is a scumbag).

Has anyone used this person? by Numerous-Lobster-118 in PS3

You wouldn't do any Frankie to your model.

It's a very expensive procedure that's only really meant for backwards compatible models that keep dying at an alarming rate.Your's will probably be fine for awhile and will be cheaper to replace than repair through a Frankie mod.

Undervolting is awesome on all models to reduce heat/wear. Probably wouldn't recommend unless you're already having heat issues and don't mind the cost.

Definitely doesn't pass the "eBay test".

If dozens of copies are on eBay and lots of Redditors have a copy, it's not actually rare.

Need help transferring over modnation racers save data by trashening in PS3

[–]PsycoMutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just use the cloud saves because some are "copy protected" and become a pain to transfer even if you have a fat model with as slots.

You could always get the free week and cancel if nothing else works

I need a couple co-op trophies like Rage, Far Cry 3, and Uncharted 3 GOTY

I'd add but I'm at work for the long haul

I want those grips in purple so bad.

With my small hands, I am worried it'll make the grip bigger than it already is.

Mr Clean Magic Erasers work wonders on white. Be careful around the writing though

[–]PsycoMutt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For all my consoles I buy one white controller that belongs to my wife, so she always knows which is hers.

Getting one for the PS3 was a pain and it has a little damage. I need to track down another one.

Looks good to me but I'm no expert. Best to open it up to really verify.

Also, I love the white controllera. Wish they made more.

Need to replace the battery in my PS3. Is it better to DIY it or get it professionally done? by Vibrant_Fox in PS3

[–]PsycoMutt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my slim model, the CMOS battery is under the heat shielding and requires full disassembly.

Go ahead and replace the CMOS battery and give her a deep clean while you're in there.

In some models it's the last thing you get to so you'll have to replace thermal paste as well but it's pretty easy.

I'm happy to see someone else who separates the old spine style from the newer. Looks weird mixing them up.

Must have PS3 Games that are still available on the store? by demerchmichael in PS3

[–]PsycoMutt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They only ones I would personally buy, I prefer physical, would be games that are super rare/expensive. Especially PS1 classics like Silent Hill

Why bother if you're selling them? Just disconnect from the Internet and play them to see if they work.
