I've never heard of the floppy drives for NES to copy and load roms lol

There wasn't a retail, fully assembled thing to buy to do it. You had to use schematics, and build them yourself.

I know exactly what you are talking about. I just went looking for an example and found this.....

8-Bit NES Hard drives

How F$%King cool is that!

MilkyWay · Aug 23, 2010

Actually there was a floppy drive for the Famicom in Japan it was pretty popular. You could buy games from a kiosk or a vending machine on disk.

Yeah MailMan the Master System was great, my brother used to have one back when it was out always wanted to try the 3D glasses for it lol. Haven't heard of the SMS having common faults though those things where built good!

Sega Channel was that the Cable thing that you could get games over?

EDIT: that hard drive is bad ass! I remember seeing a NES cart that you could put rom files onto, it either had flash memory or removable memory cards i cannot remember, pretty pointless though.

EDIT EDIT LOL: The most common problems today are disk read problems, faulty optical drives ect. The PS2 DVD drives did get them but it wasn't widespread, the Dreamcast was known for having pretty shitty optical drives, the 60gb PS3 has Blu Ray drive problems (YLOD?), depending on the drive the xbox 360 can scratch your disk. Heat wasnt an issue in years gone by, now it is because components can get excessively hot, there is just no excuse for bad cooling.

Yea, I remember reading about the vending machine in Japan. They had extra stuff for zelda released on it which pissed me off at the time lol

dude i thought the same thing when i bought the ps3 over 3 years ago. boy was i wrong!

CDdude55 · Aug 23, 2010

I would never ditch a good high end PC for a PS3.(though i do own a PS3 Slim, and i love it

)

Great base cooler for the PS3

Hey guys I had this for my old hot running lappy and since my new lappy doesn't need it anymore I put it under my PS3 slim and it fits perfectly on top of it and should keep it even cooler. When I say perfectly I mean it fits exactly within a mm front to back. The sides are a bit big for it but not crazy and the blue led looks great. Also since both of them have rubber feet the combo barely moves.

Sweet, i might have to get one of those. My PS3 Slim sits in a cabinet and it can heat up a LOT.

I pretty much did the same. I do miss PC gaming, but using a PS3/360 does save me cash lol.

Well ya PS3 is awesome(considering i own one). But there's just to much things that you miss out on when you ditch PC gaming.

Sure you may have to deal with more problems at times, but if you know what you're doing, they don't happen nearly as much

DaMulta · Sep 4, 2010

But when your totally in the game, and it crashes out sending you back to the desktop.

CURSE YOU BF2 BC!!!! You make me want to throw my mouse at the monitor at times!

that is why ps3 needs to bring back otherOS and intigrate the bluray movie and gaming system into it! that way you can launch your linux OS and play movies directly from linux or even launch your games!

I'm actually having a similar problem with BC2 lol, every time i try to load the singleplayer it will always crash back to desktop(with no errors or anything, it just exits out and goes back to desktop)

But of course, it's nothing a little research can't fix, and the end result is always a better looking/playing game then it's console counterpart.(imo)
