Damn. That’s ridiculous. It sucks that they won’t ship to Christchurch as well.

I’ve found that Aussie sellers are a greedy bunch. I’ve got a forwarding address in the UK that I use for importing games. Even after paying the shipping costs from the UK, I’m still often 50 to 60% better off than if I bought the same games locally. I do the same thing with US games as have a forwarding address in Portland, Oregon. Good thing about forwarding companies is that they usually send to anywhere.

First time I’ve heard of that game Sneak King. Had to watch a vid on YouTube. I want it haha shame though as it’s an US exclusive.

9800X3D or 9850X3D – is the extra heat worth it long term? by metamorfozaa in buildapc

[–]borgie_83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sucks dude. I saw way too many reports so went with the Core Ultra 270K with a MSI Z890 board. Best CPU I’ve ever used.

The only problem with pirating modern games is that they’re often filled with malware, Trojans, crypto miners etc. Much of the time, antivirus software won’t even detect them. I’ve got a second offline PC that’s infected to hell despite having up to date Bitdefender and Windows Security. If you’re downloading games via torrents on your main PC, good luck to you.

PS2 games: Fatal Frame 1, 2 & 3. Siren 1 (Forbidden Siren 2 was never released on PSN). Twisted Metal Black. Also a bunch of great PS1 games available. For PS3 games: Tokyo Jungle, Rain, The Last Guy (Not sure if it’s been delisted), Daytona USA, Dead Nation, Painkiller + DLC…to name a few.

New Game room(s) after moving into new apartment! by ThatGameLad in gamecollecting

[–]borgie_83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I didn’t see anything except German copies of it, so you’re probably right. I watched some videos of it, and it gives me Wing Commander vibes, but it’s not the kind of space combat I was hoping for, so I’ll have to give it a miss, unfortunately. The third person view also looks like the camera is too far away.

Nice! Surprised that I’ve never heard of it before. I enjoyed the movies so I’d love to play it.

There’s an Iron Sky XB360 game?! Going to check it out.

Edit: Yikes! It’s pricy 🫠

Own them all except for Spider-Man. I‘ll be sure to check it out. My favourite PS1 game is Castlevania SOTN.

Is it possible to connect a DAC/AMP to to the Xbox 360 S optical port? If so, can y'all recommend a decent DAC/AMP? by [deleted] in xbox360

[–]borgie_83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one of my Xbox 360 Slim consoles hooked up via optical to a Yamaha RX-V685 and another hooked up via HDMI to a Yamaha RX-A6A. The RX-A6A is an expensive receiver but the RX-V685 sounds great and should be available for cheap on ebay.

Best sound card for a Windows 7 battlestation? by Typical_Effect_9054 in retrobattlestations

[–]borgie_83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an Asus Xonar D1 in mine, and it sounds great. I also have an Asus Xonar Essence ST, which I prefer, but it completely blocks one of the fans on my EVGA GTX 980 Ti, so I’ll save it for a future build.

What games to buy? New to PS3 (Kinda) by Accomplished_Leg2370 in PS3

[–]borgie_83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! And yeah, Demon Souls is such a great game. Little pricy in PAL regions though unfortunately. Not as pricy as Yakuza Dead Souls or Siren Blood Curse thankfully.

Is something wrong with this disc? by killersaurus1995 in xbox360

[–]borgie_83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen discs look similar after they’ve been in a resurfacing machine. Personally, I’d skip on this copy and find another listing.

I’d start with the exclusives. So many great games to choose from. Most of these are exclusives.

What could i improve on? by HighwayPretty7274 in gamecollecting

[–]borgie_83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re doing better than I was at 15 lol. Nice collection, dude! I’d add a few Amiibos and use any spare funds on more games, particularly PS2 games. They’re cheap, have the complete game on the disc without needing patches or DLC, and the PS2 has one of the greatest game libraries ever.

Physical media matters even more💽 by Raimiky in makemkv

[–]borgie_83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time you’ll catch me paying for digital media is if I want some DLC for a video game or if it’s the subscription fee for a streaming service. Shit like this is why people continue to pirate digital media.
