[xbox 360 up for grabs]

I have too many game consoles laying around, I dont need two and half 360's in my house. I have the spare Japanese xbox 360 with a wireless controller. The console is compatible with many region free games from around the world.

 

It does not have a hard drive, power / video cables, so its going for cheap since the buyer will have to purchase them either online, or get them from a friend / other source.

 

I have the following 7 games to go along with it.

 

Chromehounds

Perfect dark

Ridge racer

Dead or alive

Ninety nine nights

Bomberman act zero

Tetris Grand master

 

I also have a spare 360 motherboard(USA) that was purchased on ebay that is in need of repair but can be fixed (needs a hotair rework station) that has the video ram with bad solder points. Tried a quick fix on it which worked for a short time but quit again. I will give it along for free if anyone wants to dink with it.

 

I will either trade for snowboard gear or sell the console, games, and controller for 15000 yen.

 

Im located in downtown nagano (about 10min from nagano station)

[Bit Torrent]

Depending on what your looking for, Isohunt.com, Thepiratebay.org, and RevolutionTT.net are excellent along with the bittorrent client Azureus for PC/MAC.

 

RevolutionTT is an invite only service so you need to be reffered from an existing user. I have 3 invites that I can give up if anyone wants one. Constantly updated with new items from many categories and easy to navigate. You need to stay active with the site since they kick off both dormant users and also HIT and RUN users.

 

I use it for my xbox360 needs and movies all the time.

[stickers]

Cheapest way is to design the sticker you want with whatever paint / editing program and then go to a local p/c shop and look for printer sticker film. Can be found primarly in white and clear. Print on a laser inkjet. You can also design it and take it to a DTP (desktop publishing) place and ask them to print it off for you. May cost more though. Stay away from bubble inkjet printers since the quality and durabilty will only last for a short time especially if you plan to use it on something that will either be in the sun alot or come in contact with other items. I.E. snowboards. The design will rub out quickly if anything scratches the sticker

110 just like the states

[WTB PS2]

I have a modified (can explain more over the phone)ps2 for sale with misc controllers memory cards etc. Practically new with less then about 1 week of play on it. Laser is strong, like new condition. Can play games from any region of the world. I do have games that can be saved to the hard-drive and played from there. give me a call 080-5143-4932. FRANK

Surfed the net and found this. www.grafsnowboards.com

 

Looks interesting. Just would not know where to buy supplies within Japan.

 

Im a total hobbyist. Might give it a crack someday.

[Bus and train timetables]

forgot to mention since I have been here for a bit. You can get a sort of vistors train pass which may be cheaper in the long run depending on your situation. Most travel agents can help with this option. You pay a flat rate and can ride the bullet train and public trains "x" amount of times for a time limit (I.E. 1month). Usually depends on how often your going to use them. May be cheaper then spending the cash here for individual tickets. From nagano to Tokyo one way is around 7000 yen or $70 usd apx.

 

Hope it helps. FRANK
