I resigned my old PS2 to just being a DVD player a year ago because it sort of stopped playing CD games. It wasn't completely dead but I used it as an excuse to get a slim one.
I bought a DVD lens cleaner today and now it works fine. The only game I was really having problems with was Half Life, on a blue CD. Last time I tried, it took about 20 attempts to load before I gave up. It worked first time after I cleaned the lens. I cleaned it a few times, just to be sure.
There were a few other games which went to the boot menu before loading automatically but that has stopped now.
Now I have about £40 that I can use for credit towards a 360.

I just put all my video game displays into my closet.
I had 3 in there and a bunch under my bed and 1 in my trunk(Pkmn Mystery Blue Dungeon, which is still in there).
They take up even less space in their because i can stand them and pack them better.
Now to get my oversized display boxes and counter stands in there.

I keep reading mmorpg as morporg. Hopefully that will annoy some people by making them read it that way as well.

I usually think of it as "more porridge."

I went to Gamestation to check how much credit I could get for some stuff.
All boxed:
PS2 - £45
Xbox - £38
Gamecube - £24
Then I have these, which are estimates on what I could get.
PSOne - £8
N64 - £6
Boxed Mega Drive 2 - £8-10
And about 20 games which should probably get me at least £40.
£170 off a premium Xbox 360 bundle with PGR3 and an extra wireless controller for £280 = £110!
That leaves plenty of money for games.

Right, I went back today and traded in a fat PS2, a Gamecube and 15 games for £125.50.
As I walked in there was someone leaving having traded in a PS2 with the same model number as mine. I asked if he would still take mine and he said "As long as it reads blue discs, and you'll get £40 for it." So he turned it on and then put in a blue disc, waited for it to load... and waited... then as soon as it came up on the menu that there was a blue disc in it, he ejected the disc and tried again! After another long wait, it came up and loaded fine.
He didn't even look in the Gamecube box to check there was one in there, let alone test it.
Now I have to make up £45 to reach my target, which shouldn't be too hard.
Edit:
A bunch more stuff today got me £53. I might hold on to my Xbox until I've finished these 2 games, then trade it in for another 360 game when I'm ready. But if I trade it in with those games, I could get a 360, PGR3, an extra wireless controller, and an extra game for £70.

Anyone seen the plug -n- play keychain Atari controller? It is $15 and plays two games, too pricey for my taste but y'all might want to check it out. I saw it at barns & nobles.

Xbox Live is back up after the maintenance. Nothing's changed, though. I think the changes were for Xbox.com, anyway.

Is it in any way, shape, or form, similar to Ceaser III?
If it is I don't think I want to play it.

Can't get more random than this -- here's a guy, dressed as the Wiimote, flipping off PS3 campers.
