Can I come over? Lets start with Tokyo Gore Police...

[ATH-A700s]

So what are the specs and model no. on that cool headphones set, ATH-A700s? Sounds like it set you back some serious $$$. Are they pretty good with heavy bass output as well? And would you say that they are good enough for DJing or just some serious pro-audio reference studio headphones hooked up to an A/V stereo reciever/amp instead?

I've got an older Techinca produced PR-HT600 stereo headphones with solid heavy bass output...it still works like a charm despite it's age.

PC Engine Fan X! ^_~

Copy and pasted from another site:

These are audiophile quality headphones, so the headphones are designed for all around balance. Many people agree the bass is good and I agree, many people say these aren't designed for DJing, but I'm not a DJ so I wouldn't know. A lot of people also say that these don't need an amp at all, since they are closed-back headphones and create bass easily, so to conclude, these are for any user seeking incredibly good sound without breaking the bank.
Speaking of breaking the bank, I spent 122 dollars on these, 112 for the headphones and 10 in tax. It did set me back quite a bit in terms of funds, but that is because I'm a student that is too young to get a job.
Btw: I've only used these for a few hours, and I can say I have 2 cons with them.
The first is the fact that these just aren't portable. These are huge headphones with huge speakers; I probably wouldn't even fit it into my bag with all my schoolbooks in it.
The 2nd is quite minor, and if you move around your head or move the headphones around without any music playing, you'll generate a little bit of noise. It's no problem for me though, since I tend to listen to loud music.
These headphones do a really good job though, at first I thought they didn't fit me, but they do a very nice sounding, comfortable job.

I got that for my girlfriend at Christmas. Kind of pissed I didn't get one for myself too.

It's true. I know level three is the most iconic, but I was holding out for level one and they'd sold out. I want to dry my face with Dobkeratops damn it.

Ha ha, no it's not, I was only kidding.

They're really cool though, I think I've seen the stg.1 on here before too and that's my preferred design also.

[SuperGrafx]

I've been holding out for quite some time, but I decided to take the plunge and buy an e-book reader (with a proper e-ink display and well supported marketplace infrastructure).

I settled on the Barnes & Noble NOOK.
Quite nice...I'm really enjoying it.

Don't worry Rupert. Skykid doesn't wash - so he just doesn't need one.

Are these towels still available?

[saucykobold]

Are these towels still available?

Here's the only one I could find. I'd snatch it if not for the ridiculous price.

[spadgy]

I thought the price was good, but I just spent my month's game fund on Prehistoric Isle 2!

[nem]

Stage 2 and Stage 3 seem to be still up for order on Irem's store for 1200 yen. Maybe one of the board's Japanese residents would be willing to act as a middleman

[spadgy]

Ah - £9. That does make the eBay price seem a little steep!

I have a feeling Rupert probably got it from the same place (but perhaps not the same price...)

[Rupert H]

£10 from the Irem store. I really should've bought myself one.

o.O!!!!

Cars are some of the most expensive in Europe - the exception being older ones, especially with large engines - most used car buyers aren't looking for something that costs a lot to maintain.

Holy crap, what a spree!

Why did you get the G Darius OST when you also got the whole boxed set?

[Dragoforce]

I was listening to the angelic "Kimera II" the other day.

I'm listening to the arragned version right now, I actually prefer that over the original version. But both are awesome of course.

Why did you get the G Darius OST when you also got the whole boxed set?

Yeah, that was perhaps a little unnecessary. But I love the cover of the OST and I am somewhat of a Zuntata collector...

darn, I wish I robbed banks for a living .

Actually I work with broadband support for a phone company, pay sucks but I've been working a lot of late nights and weekends.
