Ok just saw this on Shopgoodwill.com, $229.99 for old Atari Age Newsletters? That can't be right?
Check the link: http://www.shopgoodw...?ItemID=9140087.

There's also the 1st issue of Atari Age magazine for $99.99 http://www.shopgoodw...?ItemID=9140021

These can't cost that much, I've got all the copies of Atari Age magazine.

Must be a joke.

Okay a friend of mine has a fat PS3 with the 4 usb ports in the front, an 80 GB hard drive and it is 100% compatible with PS2 games, my understanding is the conversion is done in the hardware. Only problem is its got a bad Blue Ray drive. Won't read anything CD, DVD, BR, etc.

I was going to buy it from him and replace the BR drive. I started researching some online to see what I would have to do and I see that a lot of people say the BR Drive is married to the main board so you can't really replace it with just any other PS3 BR drive. One person I read about tried 3 separate replacement drives but to no avail. Not a one of them worked in the system he was trying to fix. They worked in the original system ok but when he moved it to the system he was trying to fix it would not work.

Now is this BS or is this true? I replaced the DVD drive in my original Xbox with a working one and it still works just fine. Is it that much different for the PS3 and why would you make replacing the BR drive so difficult? Would that not also make it harder for Sony to replace the drives too?

Anybody go to the CCAG in Cleveland this last weekend? I was there part of the day Saturday and it was packed. Lots of games, systems, etc. to look at and plenty of stuff to do. Tried to get to the arcade but all the games I wanted to play were being used. Bought 4 NES games (Metroid, Castlevania II, Spy Hunter, Road Blasters), 1 CD-I game (Voyeur), 2 2600 games (Boxed Bump n' Jump, Frogs and Flies), 1 Genesis game (Rocket Knight Adventures) and 1 Xbox 360 game (Magna Carta). Was looking for other CD-I games and a regular CD-I controller but the game was the only thing I found. Great convention, wish they could do another like they did last time in October. Guess I'll just have to wait until 2012 for the next show. Good show all in all.

Ok just found a Magnavox CDI at a garage sale for $5.00. It still works but it had no games. I know that the games for it really aren't that great but does anybody have any game suggestions? I'd like to see what games I can find.

Well didn't think they'd do it but Shopgoodwill.com has two Mystique games for sale and they are about done. Check them out.
