Bought myself an early birthday present after wanting a leather jacket for years:

*snip*

A Schott Perfecto (very lightly used at a good price since retail is insane over here). Mine's a 125 (the one above is a 118) which doesn't have a belt, but has a removable faux fur liner and has lace cinches in the back. Easily the best made item of clothing in my wardrobe and it feels amazing to wear! Sized down for a slimmer fit and the sleeves/waist hit in all the right areas.

Nice. I've wanted a Perfecto, or at least something styled like it, for a long time, but as you said, prices tend to be a little nuts.




Curse you, PSN sale. $12 well spent, I think.

Eeeep.

Eeeep.

Is that the unblowupable version of the S7?

The only one with problems was the NOTE 7, the S7 Series is perfectly functional without any flaws.

I've seen reports of the S7 & S7 Edge having similar issues.

Huawei P9 Lite. Not top-of-the-line, but still a vast improvement from my old Galaxy Core crap.

I've seen reports of the S7 & S7 Edge having similar issues.

Those are new reports then, Haven't seen those yet

They did come out after the Note reports. Seems the issue is battery related.

Not all on the same day, just catching up on recent purchases.

Are you sure it was about the S7 and S7 Edge? Haven't heard anything about those...only about exploding iPhone 7 and Note 7 phones.

Yes, the problem seems to have spread. Just a few examples:

Then I'm glad I moved away from Samsung not that I wouldn't have even without all those explosions, I've always had bad experiences with Galaxy phones (low-end ones, true, but still they sucked bigtime).

I don't have experience with Samsung smartphones, personally. The S7 & Edge issues don't seem to be as common (so far) as the Note problems, as far as I know Samsung hasn't issued a recall or stop-sale like they did with the Note.

Onkyo GX-77M (black):

I needed more bass, so I bought this. Then I gave Creative Gigaworks T40 Series II, which I used to own, to my friend.

I still have mine and I love them!

I bought a ps2 a few weeks ago. It came with 2 controllers and a memory card. But sadly the memory card didn't work so i bought a new one. The ps2 works well so far. Oh yea and i bought need for speed most wanted 2005.

 

[HuskyGT]

Eeeep.

Got mine two weeks ago (Platinum Gold). I felt a bit of buyer's remorse, but as I spend more time with this phone, the more I feel it was totally worth the big bucks.

And no; these don't explode. It's only the Note 7 which is no longer on the market.

Good to hear! I've never owned a new flagship before - I'm upgrading from a cheap iPhone 4S I grabbed for $80 bucks awhile ago. Only bought a Nokia 520 brand-new prior, so this is definitely a big leap.

 

[ildd]

I've had my s7 since launch day and haven't had any kind of hardware or battery related issues

 

[HuskyGT]

My older phone was a Galaxy S4 Mini that I've had for three years, so I do feel a huge difference

Sony TA FA70ES.

I just stole this for €40. It was posted, I responded within a minute, she accepted my bid. Asked her to remove the ad asap. Why, you ask?

Sold! €760 +

A refurbished TA -FE530R.

'tis a good start of the week.

Yeah, prices have always put me off even though I've probably spent more on other (non leather) jackets over the years that haven't quite scratched the same itch as a Perfecto, it just turns a standard T-shirt + jeans + sneakers/boots outfit into something else entirely.

Had a really interesting conversation with a woman on the tube a few years ago when she saw me reading that, she suggested I should spend a few nights on the streets (since I'm a guy) to really get a feel of what it's like.

Background: Trying to track down a book I constantly checked out from the library over ten years ago. Timeframe for this was about right, not entirely sure it's the one but whatever I'm only out just over seven bucks total (including shipping).

 

[PASM]

Fractal Design Define R5 Black, to replace the Antec Nine Hundred Two. It's nice and quiet now, while temperatures are still great.

Finally bought my 'Chilled Cranberry' One controller that I showed off here.

Found this old film camera with a bunch of accessories on eBay for a good price so why not?

Canon EOS Rebel, comes with a bunch of filters, lens hoods, a macro lens, that huge case, four flash guns.. Not bad. Can't wait to try it out!

These are the best quality earbuds (that I've found) for under $10.
This is my 5th pair because I keep losing the others.
