It gets worse. I tried to take a portable TV to a couple of the charity shops near us (worked perfectly, just upgraded to an LCD) and was told that nowhere can now take electronics due to health and saftey concerns - so all your geek gear would have gone straight into a skip.

I took my old 27" set to the local childrens hospic last summer. worked perfectly and was only a couple of years old.
They gladly took it.

after reading this and having a look around the "cupboard of death" (open it and catch whatever falls out) for Colin Mcrae it was surpisingly clean, organised and clutter free.. turns out g'friend chef has "got rid of all them old computer's you never use, they were all dusty"..... Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Atari ST, Commodore 64, PS1, Atari Lynx, N64, Mega Drive all been given away to charity while I was in Singapore.. manic miner, chuckie egg, Mario world, sonic among many more.. gone.. gutted..

THAT is justifiable grounds for kicking her out. Where do you live, I might be able to get down the charity shop and bag a bargain...

Can't beat a bit of Lotus Espirit Turbo Challenge!

I'm sure I've still got the certificate I earned for completing that game

Noooooooooooooooooo!

We've cleared out our attic over the last few weeks in preparation for a loft conversion, and in doing so I found my old Atari 800XL with cartridges for Space Invaders and River Raid Might have to connect it up to the plasma for a retro gaming sesh

I've got a Commodore Amiga 500 connected to my big LCD telly. Can't beat a bit of Lotus Espirit Turbo Challenge!

Also, which charity shop did she give them to? Address? Phone number? DO they take Maestro over the phone?

Time to start flogging the jewellery she never wears, handbags she never uses, etc., on eBay - you should be able to make enough to replace the lot

Oh, once you've sold all her junk, you might want to sling her out, too - she's clearly a complete philistine.

Time to retaliate with her shoe cupboard.

Interesting, looks like support was added for remote play with PS1 disks in firmware 2.10. Haven't tried it but it is reported to work well.

Gran Turismo 1 turned up on saturday...
Put the disk in the PS3, turned it off (its set to switch on when remote play accesses it), fired up the PSP and linked to the PS3 with remote play, selected the game and it worked.
As simple as that!

Rubbish. I just downloaded a PS1 game off the net, and my copy of Paint Shop Pro would not even open it. Not a valid image file it said.

I've got Gran Turismo 1 on order (95p + 1.99p&p)

I'll post back here with the results
