TODAY IS MY HAPPIEST DAY EVERRRRR~~~

[wilsonw111]

I must share my happiness with you all.  I've been waiting for this day for 20 years.(almost).  I finally got it into my hands...... Yes,, the Pce-LT.  have been waiting for someone to post this bid for sooo long, and I finally won it at a costly price of 36,000 yen. (well I personally think the price was great compared to Ebay.)  it was tough tho; cus those guys in Yahoo Japan never want to ship overseas.. so I had found someone locally to bid and mail it to me which wasn't easy.  So Thank god I won.  I've been staring at it for the past 30mins,,.... man it just looks too good.  anyway,, just wanted to share with ya guys,,, 
here are the pics..

Congrats wilson  .

I've been wanting one for awhile (and boxed would be even better).   The last few have either gone insanely high, broken.bent antenae, missing port plugs, etc.

[NecroPhile]

Nice one, wilson.  Congratulations for picking up da pure sexiness known as an LT. 

[_Paul]

That's awesome, make sure you treat it with respect

[Lord Thag]

Yeah, and when you're done, mail it to me 

I've toyed with doing a home-made LT jobby, a la Ben Heck. I figured it'd be doable somehow with Coregrafx, a gamecube monitor, a controller, and a dremel. Dunno.

And nice score btw!

[Turbo D]

That's bad-ass dude!, congratulations, I am jealous! I showed this thread to a friend only to be asked why I didn't own one, lol. I guess it is time I started saving for one.

[wilsonw111]

For all the tempting years only seeing this LT on magazines and internet, you bet; I will treat it better then anything. 

That's awesome, make sure you treat it with respect

[wilsonw111]

Sorry bro.... I'll never be done with it ...i think ..heh~~ this LT means too much to me.  but I'll keep my eyes out for another one for ya guys tho;

Does it take batteries?  Or do you have to plug it in to use it?  Congrats!  Those are really nice!  How big is the screen?  How's the clarity, is it active matrix or dual scan?  How do the speakers sound on it?  wow that was a lot of questions..

[TR0N]

Congrats man that is one way to get one useing yahoo jpn and a midde man service.

[Tatsujin]

veery nice and just look that price!
no blank pixels?

this machine is awesomness pure!!

[drboom]

teh sex. for sure.

I'm interested to hear the answers for these questions as well...

[geise]

Very nice!  I've bought a ton of stuff through Yahoo Japan Auction! using Celga.  Sometimes you need to be careful though.  A lot of prices on Yahoo Japan Auction can be as bad as ebay.  If you search the pc-engine section on there there's some games that are priced pretty crazy.  I guess price gouging is everywhere.  Anyways that's freaking awesome.  Looks like the Gameboy Advance SP stole the LT's design. Congrats again!

[wilsonw111]

nope.. no blank pixels,, it's in great shape... lucky me,,

veery nice and just look that price!

[wilsonw111]

can't use batteries, it uses a/c adaptor only  9V.  Screen,, ummm 3" x 3"maybe.  ummmm active matrix or dual scan,,,, (ummm sorry Im too stupid to know). and Speakers are pretty loud, way better then the GT. i pray and hope the sound won't die out like the GT does over years......

ya, agree,, but back then with the LT, i think Game boy was still in black and white .. wasn't it ?
hah~~

You can tell if it's active or passive if the screen blurs during any graphical movement.  It's probably active.  Too bad it doesnt take batteries..  I wonder if you can get a rechargeable battery pack for it.

[spenoza]

I wonder what the actual screen resolution of this thing is.

[wilsonw111]

here's something up for grabs,.....

My point of getting the LT was not just to play it, I bought it cus I wanted to "have it".

[Alt-PyschoNintega]

What is the point of playing an LT if they are not portable? Makes no sense. I'd rather have a PCE GT.

Do you bring your GT out to play still ?   well my point of getting the LT was not just to play it,, I bought it cus I wanted to "have it".

[Turbo D]

The LT is pure awesomeness. How could anyone not want one?

[Alt-PyschoNintega]

I don't know about anyone else here but I'd rather play games on a big TV than a tiny screen. I realize some of you here are diehard game and system collectors but I am not really a collector. I only buy games that suit my taste.

Well I don't have a GT yet but if I do get a chance to get one yeah I'd take it with me. Especially if I had to take long trips or wait for hours at some waiting room. People might snicker and stare but I won't care.

[Tatsujin]

People might snicker and stare but I won't care.

i would say they are going to make fun of you.

[spenoza]

I think the PC Engine LT is a great option for married gamers. You can play it while your spouse occupies the TV. And since the screen is larger it might be full resolution instead of only partial resolution like the GT screen. I know in my house there's an outlet near the couch, so I can plug in my GBA if the batteries run low and still enjoy the company of my wife while she watches TV.

Who're you kidding, nintega?  You're far too insecure to not care what others think.  Now learn to use the enter key to avoid double posting and quit crapping on wilson's LT buy.

People like that obviously need to make fun of others just to get some happiness out of their sad lives ,and or they are mentally still in their grammar school years.

I occassionally see older people playing PSP, DS, and such so why is it so wrong to carry a GT around?

Who said I was crapping on his purchase? Actually I am happy the topic creator got his hands on a very rare PC Engine system. I first thought the LT was a sleeker GT. Therefore I said I rather buy a GT when I learned it wasn't a portable. As a matter of fact if I had loads of money to spend I'd probably would buy one just to show it off to every gamer online.

As for me being insecure, I am now over that phase. I really don't care what others think of me. I am much happier that way. Life is long.

[nectarsis]

For the love of god man..there's an edit button..how many double posts do you need?

[guyjin]

Who said I was crapping on his purchase?

I say it. because you've turned a thread about the awesome LT into a thread about you.

I don't know why Aaron has decided to tolerate you - you clearly broke the forum rules, and his allowing your exception will only encourage trouble - But I will not anymore. This will be my last communication with you.

Bye.

[geise]

I would love to have an LT and playing it would be a dream.  I could plug it in the bathroom and have true resolution R-Type or Hero Tanma while doing my business.  That's pure sweetness if you ask me.   

[NecroPhile]

Who said I was crapping on his purchase?

Calling the LT pointless was by extension crapping on the purchase of an LT.

As for me being insecure, I am now over that phase. I really don't care what others think of me. I am much happier that way. Life is long.

Sure, chief, whatever you say.  That must be why you're so concerned about others being mocked.


Back to the topic: What's the resolution of the LT's screen?  Time for wilson to break out the magnifying glass and start counting.

Because Aaron doesn't hold grudges like a little brat.

[awack]

Back to the topic: What's the resolution of the LT's screen?  Time for wilson to break out the magnifying glass and start counting.

The pixel count for the pc engine LT is 144,000, which is close to what the pc engine puts out, the pce gt has less than half of that...this is from 101 pcengine secrets and another place i cant remember the name of.

[NecroPhile]

Can a leopard change its spots?  Not if it keeps calling people brats and douchebags.

Wow, that's better than I expected and if true is actually beyond the PCE's capabilities (the PCE Secrets page says the LT can't show every pixel, but 512x242 is only 123,904 pixels).  Pixels to spare for more sexiness.

[awack]

Yea, that is high, but I'm sure i read it some where else as well, course, one could be echoing what the other wrote, for comparison, the Sony PSP has a pixel count of 130,560.

Well denying that leopard's can change their spots is indeed an art of douchebagery.

[NecroPhile]

It's pure foolishness to expect everyone to instantly forgive and forget your past asshat behavior.  You made many past claims of reform, only to return to the same ol' crap, so don't expect everyone to give you the benefit of the doubt now, accept you with open arms, and call you brother.

If you truly have changed and want to be a contributing member of this forum, then delete the bullshit from your signature, ignore anyone that speaks ill of you, and quit stirring up drama.  If you actually manage to keep your nose clean for a decent length of time, then you'll surely earn some people's respect (though some is likely forever lost).

I believe OP wanted to share his joy for owning such an awesome piece of hardware as opposed to creating the perception that he was just showing it off.

This also assumes he has loads of money to spend, which in his defense, he probably saved for a long time.

Anyhow, great purchase!  I hope to save a lot of money and own one myself one day.  Question, what is more comfy ?  onboard controls or separate controller ?

[hoobs88]

Question, what is more comfy?  onboard controls or seperate controller?

I think most people use a separate controller to keep the onboard controls tight and free from wear & tear. The system is rather top heavy and awkward to hold for a length of time which is another reason to set it down and use a separate controller.

[wilsonw111]

I don't think this was the original author's intent.

Thanks man, that's definately true.  I really wanted to share with you guys the happiness as we here all love the PC Engine products.  And I'm also happy that this is my first POST that ever had this much of replies.  heh. 
For the controls; ya I do prefer a seperate controller; as I want keep the machine in tight conditions. 

By they way; does any one know how many LT's did NEC produced in the past ??

[brettlee]

Hey Wilson.. First, I'd like to congratulate you on owning the BEST version of PCE ever!!  You must've been spending too much time with her lately eh?  Well.. Do you mind if I also share my happiest moment with everyone here as well? (Actually wanted to post this when I first got it last 2 weeks, but was super busy)

Here's my most proudest PCE artifact acquisition :



I got it for a good price off eBay. Not complete though. Missing the protective pad plugs and the small car adapter cable..

Will post more pics of her when I get back tonight!..  High Five Wilson!!!

Hmm..  Not sure the exact figure. But definitely less than 10k units? Not many were sold because of its extreme price tag.. 99800 Yen.. Only the rich could afford it..
