yes.

not for 50 quid though.

would speed up the little games in my student house a ton.

however ive invested in some (cheap nasty plastic AAAAH) wonderful litte chips and a couple decks of kem cards from games back home, so i can do without out one for now.

in fact in argos (family catalogue shop for you americans) you can buy a fairly good set of chips (actual clay chips form what ive heard) for 30 quid. the worrying thing is the suitable for ages 6+ label, but start em young i say.

Chit phil. Don't play with plastic. You poor sodding student. Send me a pm with your address; I'll get stars to send you the pokerstars set. I have so many fpp's there that they'll be basically free. This is a one off; so absolutely noone else pm me or I'll tell you to f*ck off...I still want to keep plenty for the 10k sats to wpt events.


For americans, Anyone near a Costco store (and has or knows someone who has a costco card), they're selling a really nice looking poker set pretty cheap - 11.5g chips/cards/dice/case.

Wow!

How are those PStars poker chips, out of curiousity? Are they the weighted 11.5g pieces of crap or are they real clay?

[dogsballs]

I dunno. They're prob not real clay tho', but I've heard people like em.

I first saw on of these things at Kohl's a month or so ago. The first thing I thought was why would you go through all of that trouble when you can just pull out your cards and chips and sit at the table.
Also, I picked up the 500 chip set at Costco this week, and it's a pretty nice set.

When I hear LCD, I think...

Rather than...

I guess they're trying to capture the feeling of the '80s as well.

It is atrocious that they can use the term "fast 16 bit microprossor". That's like saying "The new Honda has a POWERFUL 1.5 liter engine". For the sake of context, this thing is only twice as fast as a old school Nintendo.

I hope the designer was shot for gross incompetence.


The amazing thing is that this piece of crap is going to sell like hotcakes.
