Why is Rock Band better on Live?

And to make this thread even better, first person to reply to this post gets an Xbox 360 Messenger Kit from Play-Asia (can't promise speedy delivery from Asia, but free is free).

i've got some stuff i'm willing to give away to interested parties, as long as they'll foot the shipping (i'm broke):

xbox
- nba street 2
- half-life 2
- king kong the movie of the game of the awesome (it's seriously pretty sweet)

and guides for dragon quest rocket slime (ds) and two mortal kombat arcade secrets guides (one from bradygames and one from prima). the latter two guides are in used shape, naturally.

anyway, no pressure, just wanted to toss the stuff out there in the name of good will.

Cool idea. I'm in the UK so EU people jump in. I tried selling most of this stuff ages ago but had no takers so here's what I have up for grabs.

Nope not a knock off Nuntandu Gamebox but a patched up PAL Gamecube which I got on ebay. It had a damaged lid so I replaced it with a generic top half I found online. Comes with a US power supply from my fried US console and a composite cable. Unboxed.

A bunch of N64 accessories. The GB pak, 2x official memory paks, an official rumble pak (battery modded) and a 3rd party one. All unboxed.
The original Wipeout (PAL PSone) Taken. Sega Bass Fishing (NTSC/US DC - ex-rental I got on ebay, hence the black scribbles)Taken.

I can probably cover shipping for everything except the Gamecube - a few quid should cover it though.

edit: Overseas shipping for the GC is stupidly expensive so UK/EU only.
 
I'm sure I have some stuff I would be willing to give away but I'm not all that familiar with shipping options. To those who are offering these free things, how do plan on shipping them?

I'm in the US by the way.

I guess posts should include this:

Will Ship To: UK / Europe / America / Japan / Anywhere
Postage Cost: Free / Free to US or $x.xx to Other Countries / $x.xx

Or something like that.

I'd like the sonic strategy guide. A friend of mine is a huge sonic fan and would love it.

I'd paypal for shipping because i'm from Brazil.

1) Box up stuff
2) Add address
3) Go to USPS/FedEx Kinko's/UPS Store
4) ???
5) Profit!

You can also just go to USPS.com and print it all up on your computer. Just toss it in your mailbox and you're done!

Damn damn damn why didn't I see this thread earlier! I've been wanting to collect the Next-Gen magazines again. I used to have them but one day threw them away and regretted it ever since.

I always regret using up a bunch of space for tons of old magazines.

Then I open up the boxes, spend a couple of hours reading about how OMG SUPER STREET FIGHTER 2 FOR THE GENESIS IS SO GREAT and realize I could never get rid of them. :D

I never have the urge to keep magazines except when it comes to American Cinematographer, Cinefex, and Next-Gen. Next-Gen set a bar for gaming journalism that hasn't been reached again. They were really awesome. And then one day I stupidly threw away Next-Gen in a spring cleaning.

Oops. Wish this thread had been made a couple of weeks ago, I took some old consoles to the recycling centre - boxed pal GC, DC and modded Saturn. I figured they'd never sell on eBay, so threw them away. [blush]

Are you kidding there are still loads of classic gamers. All you had to do was search for those consoles on eBay to see that the majority have bids on them. Even if you only sold each console for $10 you would've made someone happy and better than throwing them away.

It worked fine, but the lid was kind of dodgy due to a slight first-time modding botch.

I did look on eBay, there were DCs going unsold and GCs too - I figured no-one would want them any way since Wii is backwards compatible. Even if they sold, it would be a couple of quid for the effort of boxing them up and shipping them out.

I saw the recyc. centre employees buzzing round the neatly stacked console boxes as I drove away, so I'm guessing they live on any way. :)

Man...I would join in, and give away my Shining Force CD...but im not really sure that I want to part with it...

I think i'll try to dig around for some extra stuff tomorrow as well...but im not making any promises.

I'm calling dibs on that SF CD if you do decide to part with it :D

Lost all credibility.
If anyone else has some classic mags they're willing to ship out, PLEASE post them here before you decide to throw them out. :)
 
Great idea AMN.

I have 5 Gamecube games and the Mario Kart Double Dash Bonus Disc with a handy-dandy carrying case. I have only the discs as the cases and manuals were stolen by a dimwitted thief; so it would obviously be easiest if someone took the lot rather than me breaking it up, but whatever :) All games are NTSC region and in great condition. Will ship anywhere free, but a small contribution from GAFfers outside the U.S. would be appreciated.

I would love to have the "Double Dash" GC collection. I've been wanting to try that game for a while.

EDIT - PM Sent - I'm really most interested in the Double Dash discs, so if you want to split it up with everybody that's great. I know you said it would be easier but you can make more people happy.

I'll take the collection off you if you want, willing to pay shipping as I'm in Canada.

EDIT: Since everyone's splitting it, I'll take Skies of Arcadia if you don't mind.

I'd like a Halo 3 Essentials disc.

I would like those Next Generation magazines since I'm a magazine collector but I think the shipping would be prohibitively expensive. :(
