How much of that is the game being paused so I can feed the kids or change a diaper? who knows. haha, I'll try online next and will see if I can catch you guys on there. Sarge051

My Gamestop dude said that every store in our area only got two to sell. No plans on restocking. It's basically a 80gb PS3 with Dualshock 3 controller and a free copy of MGS4.

Thanks for the update Kev! I'm in no hurry. If you've got a beat up one, you can send it to me so someone else can get a minty box, I don't collect boxes.

Someone told me that the hint book had a synopsis of the entire MGS story in it. Can someone verify this? Maybe I'll hit up gamestop for one of their perused copies.

Silverdragon is doing these again, he's got a thread up with prices. http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=25638

ok, 2.36 is now out. i just installed 2.35, now it's making me install 2.36. You can try ebay also, some people are willing to ship international.

finally opened up the MGS4/PS3 bundle. Installing update 2.35 now. I'll use the same name as Xbox Live. Sarge051

Thanks for the info, I'm still hoping I can trade in two 32s for the RRA after the first of the year. I'm still holding out to see how the Bushmaster ACR fares when it comes out. Any comments on the S&W MP15T? I can pick one up for about $1129 + shipping. Not sure if Stag still makes them for S&W.

could you build one for around $600? My stupid commander just balked and told me NO on an RRA Tactical Car for $815. He wants me to get a used rifle for around $600. Then he just told me to go order three Glock 33s so he, the chief, and the investigations commander can all carry Glock 33s right before they retire. (at retirement, the city sells you your duty gun for $50). So I can spend $1200 on three Glock 33s, after I've already ordered Glock 32s for them, which I can't return, so I'll have three Glock 32s sitting in the safe as spares, which I'm not allowed to trade in for a rifle. I still have about $6k left (minus the three 33s) and I'm not allowed to buy ammo or a rifle this year. The money can't come back to the city or it'll get put into the general fund, so it's just sitting at our dealer as a credit (we traded in a Thompson + a bunch of old revolvers, auto burglar shotguns, gas launchers, etc).

wow, two pages and no one's arguing about what color the heat shield should be I made my Max 1S putting a Roy 1S head and wing on the Max 1A. I don't remember who I sold it to, I also had Kurt do a Max-1A TV custom, which was sold as well. I might do the Max 1S with the 1/60 versions when they come out since I did it with the original 1/60s as well

We have two armorer's on hand and our FFL guy's been working on ARs for 20+ years, they're going to do the change overs, I got a quote from Rock River Arms, they'll give me 3 barrels, gas tubes, handguards for about $600. It's not as cheap as stocks, but we're using the vehicle budget to do the changeover. It's not going to be a back and forth thing, we just have to keep the original barrels with the full-auto parts. If the military ever asks for the rifles back, we have to give it back to them in the condition we got them. The state rep is supposed to do yearly checks to make sure we have all the parts, but he hasn't stopped by that I know of.

another quick question for your AR people (Js, listen up! You're my resident online AR expert because my two Colt AR/M16 armorers can't tell me jack ) I want to buy: 16" barrel with gas tube with cheapo handguards I'm being told by several companies that I need to buy a new bolt because of headspace issues. I'm just thinking they want me to spend more money. Here's what I am doing: We bought three Hemi chargers this year, but our old Vietnam-era M16s won't fit with the 20" barrels. I was told, go buy some collapsible stocks to make them fit, well, I'd rather shorten the barrel, so I was told to go price it. So I figured, shorter barrel, shorter gas tube, and handguards and I can just swap those parts and still have a functioning rifle. I wanted to buy all new uppers, but was told no budget, so we are going to sneak in the shorter barrels out of the car conversion budget. My budget got cut this year (I was told I couldn't buy ammo this year, thankfully I stocked up last year, unfortunately, I stocked up on .40 and .223 last winter and in March, we switched to .357, I found a business willing to let me exchange .40 to .357, but of course, I'm losing a bit on this trade, and all the .223 I stocked up on, I can't use indoors and our outdoor sessions got canceled because they don't want to pay the overtime, i hate politicians)

argh! you guys suck! I'm stuck at school that week and won't pick up my PS3/MGS4 bundle until I get back the 13th!!!!!!!!! Then I have to work two days, but I'll be off three after that, so it'll be all MGS4 for three days. Someone let me know how the headset feels, I didn't like any of my Motorola H500/H800/H900 headsets, I'm currently using a Jabra BT5020 with my phone and I'll probably use it with the PS3 as well, no wait, I still need it for phone calls, I'll use my spare BT5020 as my PS3 dedicated headset.

I might have a Bandai firevalk reissue, i'll check tonight

in an all out brawl, training matters very little, it's about who can fight the fastest and dirtiest to take the other one out. IMO, it's all in the mind, who wants to win more? I fight dirty because I'm going home at the end of my shift. My DT Instructors have martial arts backgrounds, one mainly does Krav Maga, the other does Isshin Ryu, both are over 6' and more fit than I am; I have no martial arts background whatsoever, but everytime we do DT classes, I take them out quick and dirty. I don't give them time to do any of their martial arts stuff or even their DT stuff, I go in fast, strike hard, take them down, choke'em out. No sweat. It's nice when they put on the redman suits, I don't have to hold back. I once took out a naked 6'10, 260# marine in a few seconds. Some moron (my partner) threw him at me causing us to fall down, all I could see was his chest, so one hand went down, the other went up, and i choked him in more ways than one. thankfully I had gloves on. They teach us to do LVNR on people, but I've never had any luck with it, it takes too long, choking is easiest and quickest, and if you don't want me to choke you out, then don't resist. Our new trainee has a black belt in something, but first time we did DT, I took her out quick and never gave her a chance to get back up. During our cell extraction training, they kept telling me, NO CHOKING, NO KICKS TO THE HEAD, AND ABOVE ALL, NO CHOKING. Prisoners have rights too even if they are rioting, I said whatever. Then first chance I got when we had a mini-riot, I kicked one right in the head and choked another one out. End of story. End of riot. No long drawn out fights. If only we had tasers... Most people in the area who know our department won't fight with us, our rep is all pursuits end in our city (if we have to crack up a few police cars, why not, we need new ones anyway), and don't f**k with the guys on second shift or you'll end up in the hospital. It's all in how you write the report, i.e. Resistant male was directed to hood of my vehicle for his safety and handcuffed (what really happened: grab a**h*le and smash him into the hood to knock the fight out of him, then cuff him). back on topic, Chan v. Li I say DRAW! I believe some training helps, basically, how to breathe during a fight, how to keep your balance, etc, but that should all be second nature because you can't think about it or you'll lose the fight.

well I was going to sell it for $30 shipped, but for $5, you're better off getting it locally, it'll be faster.

3+ year bump... well, it's on SciFi now in english, guess I'll watch the last half hour and debate whether or not to get an english dub. I've been happy with my subtitled version.

agreed, that said, i have a compete legacy edition for sale cheap pm if interested

wow, was I wrong! I'm really tempted to get the Super 1A Max just for kicks. I've got a spare jetfire head, maybe it'll fit. tempted... tempted... ok, couldn't resist, gonna get one, on my way to ve.com

I don't think he's reopening, I think he's just ordering for himself through his contact, and he's ordering in bulk and passing the savings on to us.

yes, we've been talking about it here: http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?show...0&start=100 I'm hoping for non-common variants

more props to Vermillion One for some quick shipping!

anyone know if the cooler versions will make it into the US release of the MGS4 PS3? I'd rather wait and get a cooler PS3, but only if it's like a month or two, if not, I'll get just the PS3 when MGS4 comes out. Lost Planet is ok, I have it on PC (got it at Target for $4.98 closeout). I just don't like playing it on the PC because you have to be hooked up to the internet to play.
