Latest Purchases

Took your suggestion, Flynnie. Few new additions.

Awww i miss the ELSPA ratings, they used to have an office in my small town which is in the middle of no where!

How do you find the time to play these old Xbox games?? Or are you just collecting?

lol I don't have the chance to play almost every game I buy. It is really just for collection's sake, and the hope that one day I might get around to them. Can't resist buying things if they're cheap. It's usually the RPGs that I don't have time for, but can't pass them up. I should be mostly done for now with picking up new games unless there's something else I'm desperate to add to the collection.

Big week for me! Put pre-orders down on Bayonetta and Cloud amiibo too...urgh! 

Good job Flynn, the lan adapter is something I definitely consider too, although I hear any adapter works cause they're standard and I hear there are cheaper, faster alternatives than the expensive Hori one.

I am getting 4-5mbps even with the LAN adapter. I had it tested (from Japan) before it got here and it got speeds of 12mbps. 

None the less I didn't mind paying for it, if you have one from the Wii or WiiU they also work!

I watched this a while back, that's why I was mentioning that there exists cheaper alternatives that do a better job.

Got this today :

Both in the bargain bin for a few $'s.

Also got these!

Also thanks for the video Rudy, you know how pathetic my internet speeds are already though ;/ , even at the moment i'm getting 4mbps, i'll probably get 10mbps when they fix it. Strangely though even at 4mbps I am not having that much problem playing my Switch online...

Needed a new gaming headset cause my old Turtlebeach Z11 headset is dying, so I ordered this one. I had no complaints about Turtlebeach before so I went once again with one of theirs. The XBox One themed Recon 50X was cheaper than other identical models sporting other colours, so I went with that one. Also the others they had in stock on Amazon France didn't have Amazon Premium shipping, and since I am on my 30 day free trial, I wanted to benefit from that too, so my choice was made, especially since I'd like to have it fast so as to already have it for upcoming Minecraft Switch streams with Mush on his Twitch channel. I like about it that the mic is detachable, so that you can also use it like regular headphones with a variety of devices without it looking like a gaming headset.

And then I also ordered the following. The screen I usually play on is only 720p, which didn't matter much so long as my only HD console was the Wii U and games on it practically never ran at native 1080p so I wasn't losing any detail. However now that I have a Switch and some games on it are 1080p in docked mode, I wanted in on those details without having to break the bank for another TV that would display more detail. I have a LCD computer monitor that is 1080p however, but a couple years old and it only has VGA input, so since the Switch dock only has an HDMI out, I ordered this adapter. Also my usual screen doesn't support full RGB range, but my monitor does, so I'll get a better range of colours as well when I play, just by ordering a simple, quite inexpensive adapter. User reviews tell me that it works for PS4, so I don't see why it shouldn't work for Switch.

Switch games that play online like MK8 do not require very fast connections. I guess ere aren't really any right niw on Switch that do. You'd probably run into more issues with more demanding games, or if you're doing something else with that limited bandwidth, like i your phone or laptop or all at the same time are downloading system or app updates. So long as your Switch is the only system pulling on that bandwidth though you should be fine for the most part.

Did your VGA adapter work? I reckon there's a massive difference between playing Zelda in 720 and 1080! Looks great either way though.

Random purchase, it was only $18 AUS, so not that much! Always heard good things about it back in the day

Preordered

This musta bombed. £5 at Shopto right now.

Got this for my Switch :

Mental amount of games spending from me in 2017!

Ugh. More deals and I can't help but buy. This one's a tenner at Shopto atm.

I've heard a lot of good things about Dishonoured! That should be fun.

This is the time of the cycle that I pick up games for the outgoing system, the WiiU has got plenty of classics waiting to be purchased.

I've still not bought Mario Maker yet (i'm convinced it'll make its way to the Switch) but i've the special edition with amiibo and artbook for $19! It's just a shame that none of the stores around me stock it!

EDIT: Been thinking about it too much and caved, purchased the 3DS version!

He's gone Xbox crazy! Just bought this lot for £30. Very happy with that deal.

I'm not sure how it works tho. I was under the impression they are making OG Xbox games available digitally on Xbox One, not that you can run your OG Xbox discs themselves in the XONE system. But maybe I'm wrong? Even if it's just making them digitally available on the XONE, it's still pretty sweet.

Oh yeah, I got this for a fiver loool.

I thought they said it would take the discs. It'll probably work similar to how the 360 games work. So you put the disc in and it downloads the game digitally for free. 

EDIT: I still have to get around to playing Zero and Guard! I bought the special edition and not yet played it!
