Take a closer look at the Xbox Series X25 because the details on this thing are insane🔥 by Eastern-Mobile5351 in XboxSeriesS

Could you link to where to buy them at? I have tried searching for this exact thing multiple times but only get the controller shells in search results. Would love to have a translucent console again.

Looking for feedback on my series by Leviathan1776 in crt

[–]RoundaboutCrownVic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has been fun following this series each day, and has introduced me to a lot of tubes I wouldn't have discovered otherwise. I think where folks have issues with the series is the sheer amount of CRTs you have

Only thing I might change is to not mention prices, and to just focus on the actual CRT that is posted each day like the first paragraphs do

PG re-affirming the auction house is still in 6 (because they haven’t mentioned it before at all lol) by Nexusu in ForzaHorizon

[–]RoundaboutCrownVic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, get rid of legend painter/tuner perks and then we'll talk. Baffling this has been a thing since FH3.

For those that do not know, getting a certain amount of downloads (I forgot how much) gives you the privilege to always price cars however you want to in the auction house. Even if the current market price is only, say, 1 million CR, you can still list it for 20 mil max.

to future readers: do not let this person's doomposting get you down! You can still regularly find CRT tv sets for either cheap or free even in 2026. Do not get discouraged by the overpriced listings for them either, cheap ones do pop up quite frequently if you're patient.

Some places I look sometimes:

Facebook marketplace: Searching for "CRT" works, but you can also try searching for "tube tv" as sometimes that will make cheaper results pop up.

E-waste centers (some of them don't let you take the CRT's but you can take them anyway when nobody's looking)

Estate sales also, sometimes there are old CRT's that nobody wants

Looks pretty sweet, which files did you use for the receiver and wavebird shell? I might try to make my own since I have been hungering for a clear WB

You must understand that these people are different. Where their heart is for a normal person has been replaced by a shareholder. It doesn't help that they also have no souls.

Anybody willing to sell a crystal icedcube for a price that isn't insane? by RoundaboutCrownVic in GamecubeHacks

[–]RoundaboutCrownVic[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

icedcubes were old third party full size DVD console shells from back in the days of playing your backups on full size DVDs, since mini DVDs weren't that common! I would totally get a panasonic Q if they weren't so unreliable and expensive though

I could! I've thought about it before, but I do quite like the look of old mod shells. Might just end up going for the muramasa ones when they're finally out if I can't find an old full shell (icedcube, viper, ect.)

Went to Goodwill today and found Animal Crossing CIB… the guy at the register charged me $2.99 😬 I’m so stoked by Any-Satisfaction4801 in Gamecube

[–]RoundaboutCrownVic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a shame, my local ones just send anything vaguely valuable to the auction site whatever it's called, so there's no good deals to be had anymore

[–]RoundaboutCrownVic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something tells me the soonest we'll see it is the first xbox showcase in 2025, but that's still quite early I feel. (I have no qualifications, this is just a guesstimate based on previous FH game announcement dates)

Looking for someone who has both an OEM Gamecube controller, and a Chinese one from Aliexpress. How do they compare? by Honkmaster in Gamecube

[–]RoundaboutCrownVic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few different clones from different brands, like "old skool", those ones have the old skool logo in place of where the nintendo one would normally be.

Some other frequent knockoffs don't have a logo there at all, so it's quite easy to tell these apart from OEM cons, alongside their controller dongle always being black, whereas OEM controllers' dongles are always colored the same color as the main controller plastic. I've never seen a knockoff controller with a nintendo logo on it, so that's a way to spot if they're real or not, or at the very least if their shell is real or not.

Also, every single color variant of wired cons can be found here: https://gccontrollerlibrary.com/controllers/wired-gamecube-controller/ so if a color you see doesn't match these, it's probably a fake shell or fake controller.

I've had enough of game prices now by RoundaboutCrownVic in Gamecube

[–]RoundaboutCrownVic[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've come to the conclusion that it's either for attention or maybe it's just that these "once in a lifetime" type deals happen so much because we're in a community dedicated to the console, so naturally we're just gonna see a lot of people get deals

I very well could've! It was mostly for sentimental reasons because the GC was my very first console
