Just got me a Hauppauge WinTV USB Stick! It's sooooooooooooo much less fuss than a video capture card. ^_^

[Candy Kappa]

got me some laptop. Not the best but good enough to run most games and do some 3D modeling.

[愛]

Bought myself a new Sony Bravia TV. I finally have money, so I wanted to do a bit of upgrading. My own Xbox 360 is next on the list.

[愛]

Finally ordered parts for building a new computer! I'm ready to join the gaming master race, as people call it. :)

What are going to be the specs on this desktop you are building?

[愛]

I didn't want to spend too much, as I plan on just upgrading later, but I pieced together a build that'll be good for a year until I upgrade it.

ANTEC case
Corsair 800W power supply
Phenom II X6 2.8ghz
4gb DDR3 RAM
ATI HD 5770
60gb SSD drive (OS)
1TB drive

I'd say in a year I'll upgrade the RAM and video card.

[JameO]

That is a nice setup. I am still milking my quad core, but been wanting an i7.

[愛]

Thanks. I've always been an AMD guy, so I went that route, but I was heavily considering an i7 before I ordered my parts. My next build will probably be an Intel.

[Spitfire]

Got a new LG 20 inch LED monitor on Black Friday. Now I can edit and color correct HD footage with confidence. My old one was too washed out.

[gobo]

Epson EX5200 multimedia projector
80" pulldown screen
Bose CineMate GS Series II digital home theater speaker system

Not long now before I have my own, personal movie theater setup to screen Turtles Forever - Director's Cut on. :evilgrin: MWAHAHAHA!


Oh, yeah. I also bought a Bose Wave connect kit for my Wave system & iPode (spelled wrong on porpoise).

[Storm Eagle]

The last thing I ever got myself was a DSlite, and that was back in 2008.

If this counts, I actually got a DVD player a couple of weeks ago, to replace the one I had that eventually stopped working after eight years of use. The replacement I got is also the same model.

[Peanut]

I, once again, upgraded my TV situation, it's becoming a terrible and extremely expensive habit. Got a 60" Sharp Aquos Quattron for the living room, brought the 52" Toshiba into the spare room/soon to be game room, took the 47" Samsung into the bedroom and took the 37" Dell monitor I was using as a TV in the bedroom into the spare room and hooked it up as a computer monitor.

Sh*t be bangin' on that front. I also got a new Sony SS setup, but I haven't had the time to configure it properly yet. Still shakes the picture frames on the walls, though.

I have been wanting to get some good speakers. How are the SS's? Other than it shaking the walls.

[Peanut]

Honestly? Something with that kind of power is only necessary if you're able to crank it, but it's still awesome at lower levels, especially with the optional rear and side speakers.

Interesting. I have been needing a new setup, these crappy RCA surrounds I have is just not cutting it. Not sure the model as I got it at a reduced price and wasn't in original boxes. But the rear and side speakers don't really provide the surround experience I feel it should. Thanks for the information.

[Powder]

A used Nintendo DS lite, I think was my most recent. I'm lovin' it.

[Barkworm]

I bought an HTC Desire. Not that I needed a smartphone but I thought why the hell not.

[Ninja Turtles 25 Years]

I didn't buy this product, but my dad got me a Sony 3-D Blu-Ray player with Wi-Fi, and what I call "Blu-Ray Channels." I love it. Although when I get work, pay off my past debts, I like to invest in one of those 3D HDTVs. I like to get one of those really thin models that you'd find at Best Buy's Magnolia department. I mean I got my first 3D Blu-Ray movie (Resident Evil Afterlife) before New Years, but since I don't have an emitter for my 42" Plasma HDTV, I can't view it on my 3D Blu-Ray player.

[gobo]

So... You're saying it's all just a really expensive paperweight for now? O_o

[Powder]

I got a graphics tablet!!!!! It arrived in the mail today. I love it already.

Can't wait to see what you're able to do with it! I'm sure it will make your art skills even better!

[Spitfire]

Just got some amazing Sennheiser headphones. HD515s to be exact. They were 50 bucks but they have a range up to 26,000 which is pretty sweet. I got a pair for home and another for the road that was cheaper. My other ones broke because I kept using them at home. The chord was long and it would get wrapped around my chair and sometimes it would get yanked. Eventually the wire came out on the right ear.

Anyways great brand and the new phones are amazing. Some songs it's like hearing them for the first time.

[Ninja Turtles 25 Years]

Oh I remembered another electronic purchase since my Christmas Blu-Ray player. I had enough Sony credit points, and my headphones speakers died on me. I purchased some heavy studio headphones with my credit points, since I won't use those points for anything else. My purchase points were very close to not making the purchase. I made it by 4 Sony credit points.

The timing couldn't of been better. I got a new iPod for Christmas, I don't care for the in-the-ear phones, my last over-the-head set died on me on my way to Best Buy, and I won't build anymore credit points from keeping myself off credit, and those credit points will expire soon if I don't use them. The price was just right for the purchase. So I replaced my old headset with better ones and it didn't cost me anything.

PS: My Blu-Ray player is not an expensive paperweight, because I use it all the time. It's my computer that has become more paperweight than PC since last weekend when it did something unexplainable.

[RAM BAM]

Bought a new 2TB hard drive and a new ASUS video card for the computer.

[deadpoolRKO]

Triton Gaming Headset.


I'm loving it

[JaffleMan]

A candy pink PS3 controller.
It's for my girlfriend. I swear!!! :P

And two wireless old school snes controls. :)

HP USB 3.0 Drive (argosy) 2 TB



Anyone interested in buying a used Pioneer BDR-2203 internal Blu R/E DVD-R/RW CD-R/W w/ OEM or HP 2TB external hard drive should message me. :)

[Zany Orange Dude]

Just got a PS3! The main reason I got one is because I am a hardcore Sonic The Hedgehog fan and they are releasing the new game on that console. I think it will be worth it though!:tgrin:

Is the 3DS any good? I only played it once for about 5 seconds.

No idea. Hasn't come in yet. Bought pretty much entirely for access to the currently free download of GBA's Zelda Four Swords. It's the only Zelda game I've never been able to get to. Can't wait... :thyper:

[MrPliggins]

I just bought the 3DS too, the Zelda one with Ocarina 3d included. I had no idea about the Four Swords free download, so that was a pleasant surprise. I haven't owned a handheld system since the Gameboy Advance, so I was in need of an upgrade. I think it was a well-spent $180.

[Phelan]

I'm an iPhone repairman, and I just bought a new iPhone 4S 32 GB. I had one previously (bought it the day after it released), but I sold it to buy 21 iPhone 3G's from a local non-profit organization. Repaired, jailbroke and unlocked those, sold them all, bought an engagement ring, and now it was time to replace the 4S. With the new jailbreak that just came out less than two weeks ago for it, it is SO much more awesome now than ever!:tcool::tcool::tcool::tcool::tcool::tcool:

[RAM BAM]

New case for the computer.
New cpu and board (the old one was starting to go).
New cell phone - LG Gossip Pro (LG-C660R).
2nd blu ray player for another room.

The Bose® Lifestyle® V-class® home entertainment system (http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/home_theater/51channel_systems/component_systems/lifestyle_v_class/index.jsp)...

I'm fine with ramen every day for the next ten years. :P

I must have forgotten about this thread. This is what I posted in the General Discussions/Latest Purchases/Currently Playing thread back in December.

Recently I bought my second WD TV Live (http://wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=330) box, a product I would definitely put my stamp of approval on. It allows you to stream any type of media file to your TV in addition to having native apps for Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify and dozens of other internet channels. There's also a USB port for hooking up your flash drive or portable HDD if you have media stored on those. IMO it's superior to the Roku & similar boxes, especially at this price point.

[Mr.Turtle]

bought an easycap...hope it will work...

[Stingray69]

Easycap? What's that?

Nintendo made a adapter for the advance but the ds your out of luck on unless you want to drop 3000 on a convertor or crack open your ds and solder some stuff in.

For Gameboy Advance games, there was the Gameboy Player, an add-on that attached to the bottom of the Gamecube.

I bought my first mechanical keyboard. It is actually quite incredible, man. It feels so good, and the noise is so satisfying. This one is going to be for work. The picture is from my cubicle. I intend on picking up another with blank white keycaps and Cherry MX Blue switches (clicky loud keys.) That one will be for my home computer. :)

[Ninjinister]

Got me mum an Android tablet for mother's day. She wants something to play like mah-jong on because my dad is constantly on the computer when he'd home.

[愛]

Picked up yet another mechanical keyboard. I took the backlit one to work and I'm leaving this one at home. I got blank keys for a sleek look, with the WASD keys red of course.

Crutchfield had a sale on this, but I wanted to see if this store had it since I could probably get a discount on it with Cruchfield's sale price since my uncle has connections. Unfortunately, the store didn't have any left, and I was going to take advantage of Crutchfield's sale, only to find out that it was over. I then placed an order for it on Amazon since it was on sale there for the same price. Since they still hadn't shipped yet, I decided to go to this one store to see if they had it, and they did. It was also on sale. So I just got it there instead, and canceled my order at Amazon.

It seems to even play DVDs well, and even this one DVD-R movie I have that my DVD player couldn't really play. Despite all the other bells and whistles it has, the Netflix feature is the only one I'm interested in.

[Slade]

Not really a purchase, but we got signed up for Dish and I got a free iPad 2.

[Davetello]

Bought one of those Nook HD+'s recently as my first foray into the world of tablets. Been using Comixology, Marvel Unlimited and a fantastic little app called Comicat to read comics on it, which is very pleasurable. Also been enjoying watching the World Cup highlights on BBC iplayer after the lives games are finished.

Used Netflix on it as well - great times.

[Lou 500]

I bought a desktop fan. Whoo.

[Metroid]

i bought a new fan and screen for my laptop, now just to put the thing back together.

[Mzx10484]

I bought a Yamaha MG102c mixing panel.

A new cellphone; a Samsung GR-C3590.

[Sahtori]

I bought for mother's day that Velvet Smooth for my mother.


Had no idea it was battery operated, so I guess it fits here.

[TheCanadiandrome]

anyone get an Apple Watch? just wanted to know if anyone has an opinion on it. was thinking of getting one myself

[Pollyparrot]

I bought a Nintendo 3DS over the Summer.

I'd also like to know what some people think of the Apple watch.

[TigerClaw]

I got myself a Metrovac Datavac ED500 electric Duster, It will come in handy dusting out my PC, Its better then using cans of compressed air.

"NEW" Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation Vita, and Nintendo Wii-U.

You got a wii u, Cool. What do you think? I've been wanting to get one for mariokart.
I just hate it when I get a console and then another one gets released so soon, so been putting it off bc I thought Nintendo was releasing another soon but uncertain.
I might just get the wii u and say what the heck.
What you like better 3ds or vita?

[TurtleWA]

Decided to get one of these today. Love me some karts. GF wanted the Smurfs.
