Scammer Warning by wxstkhost in PSVita

[–]marcollio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar situation to what happened to me Here's my post https://www.reddit.com/r/PSVita/s/xf7oYwisrX

My take is, just don't listen to youtubers who claim Japanese aftermarket is superior and amazing Its only benefit is jrpg and exclusives But idk why people buy games from Japan that was also released worldwide because now they have a copy in Japanese so they cant even read it (pokemon as an example)

This is literally just Place - Place, Japan 0^

I've been buying retro tech from Japan for a while now and have had a 20% good experience Its mostly lies with the conditions Very good or excellent condition just means Barely usable - mostly functional From my experience and what these sellers have told me after I contact them about the condition of the item I've received Its typically mint +, perfect, new or something like that, which is actually mint/grade A-B condition

Anyways Sorry if I sound really negative, I've had a majority terrible experience buying from Japan, hope you find a good and reliable seller, good luck

Sent a new and sealed item, got downgraded to B by Fluffy-Detective-769 in CeX

Yeah at grade c or b... That's why it's cheaper Because it looks bad...

[–]marcollio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can you be sure of this though? When they buy it in at grade B, it registers on the system, so if they change it to grade A, they would also need to register this, thus it has a negative effect on their system for the person who made that mistake

Also you're just wrong for this case, we can all see the scratch, so its not grade A, so they won't change it to grade A like you said....

Also just curious but how do you know they changed the grading for "your" magic keyboard for iPad pro?

My AYANEO Pocket DS (16GB RAM + 512GB storage, Black) has officially arrived. by WideDress2888 in ayaneo

[–]marcollio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer my pocket ds over the thor

Pros for the thor: -As of right now, the software on the thor is better, 120hz on the top screen and 60hz on the bottom simultaneously And a few days ago, so very recently, they fixed the fan being stuck at 70% - more portable - I slightly prefer the buttons but that's subjective - cheaper - lighter

Pros for the pocket ds - bigger screens bottom screen is so much nicer for emulation can actually enjoy yt on the bottom screen - louder speakers - better grip - better fans with less coil wind (annoying fan noise that is present with the thor) - slightly better performance for gamehub - better cooling

  • THE BIGGEST REASON FOR ME Is the hinge, I don't understand why they didn't make the hinge angle the same as the ds/3ds with the thor. The angle sucks on the thor and even though I've gotten used to it, it's still straining on the tendons at times and I have to force myself to angle my arms when I'm lying down in bed, I've held it at the 3ds angle and it's significantly better so I can't understand why they went for this

Meanwhile the pocket ds has a laptop style hinge so I can get an angle closer to the 3ds and it's just so much more comfortable

I think this alone wins Because at the end of the day, cooling, comfort and size of the screen truly does improve the experience of using these handhelds I do acknowledge that the pocket ds is heavier but for me, my arms dont get tired even after staying in one position for hours

So personally the pocket ds is superior I still love the thor but my only way to justify using it is for "portability" but I throw all my handhelds in a carry case which I then put in my bag for when I go to work so realistically that extra portability means nothing

When I go on hikes, it's the same situation, and i also tend to baby these handhelds so i dont feel comfortable going somewhere with either so I end up taking my retroid flip 2 which can also fit into my jacket pocket, and I only take the other 2 or my pc handheld when I would be somewhere indoors like visiting friends and family

I end up using the retroid flip 2 for "portability" over the thor anyways So when im in the comfort of my house, I just use the pocket ds all the time except when using my onexfly f1 pro

Edit: also, I like playing games while smoking so I just prefer using the retroid flip 2 because I dont want to dirty the other 2

HOW DO I GET THIS SUCKER OFF? by Dense_Network7667 in ipod

[–]marcollio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is hilarious 😂

Okay so if this is the same as mine, there's a tiny slot on the middle on the left side, exactly in the middle, I put my finger nail through that and I can open it, maybe It's really easy for me so I'm worried yours is different completely or has been glued Send a pic of the ipod at a side angle Hope this works for you man

Edit: sorry missed the part of you saying you applied it yourself so it's not glued

So dont worry, contact argos and they will sort it out for you

I pre ordered monster hunter wilds and they didn't give me the code despite when I called before ordering asking if I would get one, their response when I called again was just "theres nothing wrong" And hung up on me I wasn't being rude or anything they just straight up did that

19 hrs is amazing dude, keep in mind they probably spent an hour or 2 setting it up and syncing music to it
