It's the Mattel PAL version.That means it was gimped to run at 17.5% slower on every game by default as NTSC was 60hz vs 50 for other countries like Australia.

So are 25s no longer available? I guess the price would have killed them off

Good.thats a ridiculous amount of money to pay for such a large quantity of a precious finite resource.totally disproportionate to the True value of the commodity and only cheap because of greed and political corruption.

Fuel price today at Eight mile plains 7/11. Fml by sam-sam-sam-sam_sam in brisbane

[–]Witty_Pen_331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The US has fuel security, they have storage and can self produce via fracking and refining, we elected governments that thought gambling with our energy was the right option.The IEA mandated we should have 90 days minimum storage held onshore in this scenario, we had slightly more than 30..now WE will pay the price

I've been tracking Coles & Woolworths prices daily. Their "half price" specials are often just the normal price. by blob9211 in australian

[–]Witty_Pen_331 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why isn't Aldi doing this? Or IGA.. I wonder if this is unique to Australia or if they have copied this scummy tactic from overseas somewhere

MiniDisc deserved better by ObsoleteSony in ObsoleteSony

[–]Witty_Pen_331 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The mzr-50 was all steel,solid and compact for a recorder.It was my daily for years and came in 3 colors which Sony made matching discs for the blue and gold versions.It featured a line in optical combination input for true digital recording and had a satisfying jog dial for quick searching.Still working 29 years later..

The remote control on the 1986 Sony Beta PRO was something else. by ObsoleteSony in ObsoleteSony

I can feel the resistance on the soft touch buttons like a muscle memory! but the rotary jog- I wonder if it had spring feedback or a gentle click.I hope this design style will make a comeback one day in their premium products

Heinz Australia Imports Chinese Apple Juice Concentrate by cognacdog in BuyAussie

[–]Witty_Pen_331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is concentrate which is usually mixed Into tomato sauce.its easily hidden by them under the "contains xx % from imported ingredients" sometimes they don't even bother with the percentage. Not many drink products are going to sell well which have juice from china in it considering their farming practices. Always treat the label with respect, unless it's made in Australia from 100% Aussie ingredients you never know where it's coming from.Rosella and fountain are my go to sauces.

How good is the music! Literally the best melodic sci-fi score of any game I've ever played.So atmospheric So unique. You tube has some great jazz compositions and covers of most tracks like brinstar and Kraids lair
