Anybody got any tips on how best to convince the wife that the living room needs a crt as well as a flat screen? She isn't keen on the idea.

Plug any machine straight into your SCART socket on the flat screen. Yeah, that.

Also she can watch her soaps while you game, win win!

Hello all, I recently managed to get a Sony CRT (KV-X2182U). Tried it out last night and I am seriously impressed, i'd forgotten that retro consoles could look so good on these TV's. It even does a amazing job with my PAL N64, well chuffed!

She can watch tv when you want and like gaming and drugs/shagging around etc.

Three times i've read this sentence. I'm still confused?

[tokyochojin]

I can follow it to "she can watch tv", after that it is .....

I'm keen to know more about the relationship between drugs, sex and games, and how buying an old telly will accomplish these goals. Preferably all at once, and with random strangers.

Please, explain further

I'm not surprised, even I don't know what I meant! Man it was a long weekend, sickness at work and I did a 14 hour shift yesterday to top it off. Daughter was sick, wife is now sick.

Anyway, I meant she can watch tv anytime she wants which is a positive for her and to reaffirm that you enjoy a night in gaming rather than being out on the razz doing god knows what.

So this isnt a big thing then? Isnt MGS twin snakes like 50+ quid without even being sealed? I figured it would be a bit rare having a factory sealed one.. not seen one on ebay yet

[nakamura]

I missed that kyo, good find! MGS certainly hits ?30+ as far as I know.

Thanks.. am I wrong in thinking it could be worth quite a few bob then as its sealed? Maybe i should get it VGA graded.. *evil snigger*
