Ahhh, lovely. Okinawa is a place I'd like to visit from a Karate perspective, maybe one day

You definitely should visit Okinawa, whatever your perspective is.

BTW, what is the Karate style you practice ?

I always look for big titles never re-released on PS4.

Resistance Fall of Man 1-3
MotorStorm Apocalypse, Pacific Rift
Gran Tourismo 5 & 6
Metal Gear Solid Legacy Collection
Killzone 2 & 3
Ratchet & Clank Trilogy HD, A Crack in Time, Tools of Destruction
inFamous 1 & 2

They should keep you busy for a while!!

A lot of PS3 games were remastered on PS4 (and some again for PS5). I'm looking to only collect the PS3 games not available on newer PS consoles. I think there are about 20-30 titles (worth owning).

I'm with a club called GKR, which is in its full form Go Kan Ryu. It's a mix of Shotokan and Goju. I've been training 16+ years now and am hoping to go for my Nidan (2nd Dan within GKR) grading later this year.

I have resistance on my PSP, thoroughly enjoyed it.

I'd quite like to get The Last of Us for PS3, and I know it does come on later consoles, however this is a bit of an experiment for me, and I may also look to find a spares repair PS4 at some point too, just for the repair fun as well.

I'll wait to see if I can fix this one before I go off buying too many games.

I'm looking forwards to the repair of the PS3 too.

If you remember, I picked one up at a car boot sale (CECH03 FAT 4xUSB version). It sort of went south after working for a bit with a noisy fan. After a while it would start and the screen would glitch up/freeze.

I'm hoping a good blow out and some decent thermal paste is all it takes. (Rather that than try to reball the GPU).

Hopefully I get some good tips from @rubber_jonnie's repair.

I need to repair it fairly soon, so was hoping to 'upvote' this job higher up your to to list Jon!

I'd quite like to get The Last of Us for PS3...

MrsBomberMillzy bought this for ours, but seeing as:

1. The PS3 is currently borked and
2. She didn't really get on with it (loves exploring, but not any gun fights)

...I can send you it over if you like? (Just have to double check with her when she gets back later tonight)

Don't worry about getting it upvoted, my list of projects is never in order of what I'm going to do, more like a list and I'll pick off what's most interesting

With regards to The Last Of Us, that would be awesome, BUT let me a) get it in my sweaty mitts on the PS3 b) fix it. I may well take you up on it later though

Thanks.

Just to side step a smidge, the FreHD SD card adapters for the TRS-80 have arrived!!!

So next I need to review the BOM, see what I have and what I don't have.

Looks like the PS3 will arrive today, and not the 6th as predicted

I know what part of my bank holiday will be spent doing
