Team Xtender GC Replacement Case Review

[shyenate]

ok i bought the viper case at a computer fair yesterday which cost me 20 quid so i thought it be a bargain, i was pretty shocked with the quality and really wished id waited for the xecuter case

a wastye of money and there was many problems with it i tried to take it back but the guy had gone so im hoping next week hes there so i can get my money back anyway id like to do a review if thats ok

[Eiji]

The 'viper case' would be the one from Team Xtender ie the XCM cases.

Look forward to your detailed review, possibly with pictures.

[Xboxmodder999]

Brakken says - If you are linking from Console Junky who happens to have been fired from HushTrap for being a poor PR rep you might be interested in why he is finally trying to attack me. Read about it on my PS2BANZ page (http://ps2banz.pxn-os.com). You can clearly see he has a personal vendeta, but I am glad to see he's not freaking out this time.

My reviews are based on the samples given or that I purchase. I am affiliated with no company and make money off of no company. I've spent more money and time from my own pocket then I have recieved in samples. Samples that I do not use will be donated to various causes.

Sites I work free for may be affiliated with certain companies, but I do not profit nor let these affiliates influence me in any way, shape or form. I made this clear to each site before I became a member of it and will pull support and go public if any site tries to pull any kind of crap on me.

Certain threads may have been locked due to abuse by Console Junky/HushTrap/PS2NFO affiliates. If you read the threads you will clearly see they were being abused.

When it comes down to it the HushTrap cases are worse quality and have the same and more defects then the Team Xtender cases do.

If you have been around to go through this whole ordeal I'm sure you know what is really going on which is ... Console Junky is just trying to push the HushTrap cases.

As for the AheadGames deal at the time of my HushTrap review they were still selling the cases. HushTrap ripped off AheadGames along with many other resellers and users and was just trying to cover it up. AheadGames was one of the only stores to compensate their customers out of their own pocket. Want to know more? Read the PS2BANZ link above!

If you're going to purchase a product of course read as many reviews as possible and word of mouth goes a long way. I love this line of text from Console Junky ...

"We will let you you make up your own minds on this one, as you can read the reviews yourself. "

It's like he is assuming people are too stupid to make up their own mind and reminding them they can read the reviews themselves. Very funny indeed.

For those of you interested in the review of the really bad quality HushTrap cases see my ISO-420 Reviews (http://modthatcube.ngcdev.com/content/reviews).

----------

I wasn't even aware that these were for sale yet... It's the one with the Viper jewel?

[gulliver]

I'm guessing he just called it a viper case? There's no way he got the Xtender one. It's not even released yet.

[shyenate]

not sure who makes it its got a viper sticker on it and you can see i tried to take it off but its like a paper sticker and left mess.

it got xcm gc on it, before i do the review im going to see if i can get a replacement from the guy at the fair as he could of sold me it without knowing it was bad as it was sealed in a box and i was silly not to check it before i went home.

heres one image i toik the jewel is small and paper so i wanted to put my orginal sticker on it but its the wroing size :(

i wish id waited for the xecuter case now

Not to be a downer, but there's no way he's going to replace it after you tore up the sticker on it.

[thecheekymonkey]

it would seem every case is gonna have its problems, no matter what.


brakken will be writing another scathing review soon...................or maybe not :rolleyes:

[ROFLMyWaffle]

Wow, guess it was a viper case. Just though u were a n00b that couldn't tell the difference between a Hushtrap and Xtender Viper Case :D . Also don't think you'll get your money back. Sounds like the xtender viper case is worse than the hush trap! PAPER STICKER! OMG!

[shyenate]

ok well i will point out the clear things as these cant be different on each case

1. the eject button isnt made right to the original if you look at the picture below its just some spring holding it togehter so after a while the button pops up when you hit the eject and also doesnt go back in every time :(

here are the pictures to show you what i mean

http://img210.echo.cx/my.php?image=inside2si.jpg


http://img210.echo.cx/my.php?image=button7ju.jpg

the lines look like scratches but after careful looking there not so must be on every case i have some on the original so it must be how factory make them but on this cases theres about 10 and show very clear as you can see :(

thats really the big issue, the other one is the warping its not flat its curved at the sides and i mean alot and as the plastic is tough theres no way to bend it back :( you can see this from the picture.

http://img109.echo.cx/my.php?image=bendy3jx.jpg

the only good this is the flashing lights but you have to push it to turn it on and off i have it turned off as it gets on your tits after 3 minutes.

the lid also doesnt open very smooth just flys up, you can get the disc out ok but not at the sides like the other one theres like a gap at the front i didnt have no porblem with the that. As the the fitting its very poor and doesnt screw tight and leaves a gap all the way around but think this is to do with the warping

i wish id got the other one as least i could of put on my gamecube jewel stick as its same size and it was 5 quid cheaper :(

one other thing is it didnt come in any protective bubble wrap or anything just in a box so the case was pretty dusty when i got it out that was not a biug issue though as i bought from a fair but if i ordered byu sea it probably damage

like i said i can do a review but id rather just point out the major problems before people think about buying it as i for one am not happy with it

[ROFLMyWaffle]

links arn't working.

EDIT- Guess it's just firefox. For those with firefox just copy the link and paste it into the top bar.

[mtamimi]

FireFox...what is that?? ;) IE is here to stay!!

I don't know what's up with them!!! It's like 5 months since the viper was announced and nobody was able to come up with a decent case yet!!!

[MangoGrey]

Links works for my firefox

[ROFLMyWaffle]

First off, **** IE! It's got all those pop up shits. It sux. I was showing my mom this. She swears by IE. She was buying me something online and to show her, with a simple copy of Knoppix STD and a couple programs, I stole her credit card number and showed it to her. Now she never touches IE :D .

Second, It might just be my version or something. I need to manually enter in the address for them to ring up. I'm unsure why.

EDIT- Ok, now they're working. Very strange.:confused:

[thecheekymonkey]

hmm, i was going to stock some of these as well.

i`ll bet that the xecuter cases have there problems as well.

[ROFLMyWaffle]

The xecuters will definately have problems. Nothing is perfect. The only difference is that theirs will be way better because each part will match because they're probably assembled and shipped put together so any warping will just straighten out the curves rather than pushing in the sides.

[r1cky]

Looking at the Xtender case and knowing its problems makes me want to get a HushTrap case. I hope the Xecuter cases will look as good in real life as it does in the pictures it has released.

[plan-9]

i just ordered up a hushtrap from divineo. got the clear one. heard some bad things about them..but also heard some decent things. they look alright. will give a little review as soon as i get it.

[ROFLMyWaffle]

Thats good, we need some more perspectives than just brakken's :D

[thecheekymonkey]

well if we know brakken , im sure hes reviewing one right now.

the hushtraps aint perfect.
the xtenders ones aint perfect

but i`m not gonna go off just one person with one case (this isnt meant to sound derogatory to the person who started post just that it could be a one off.)

a review should be done on at least 3 cases by the same person.


just await more posts of peoples opinions / reviews

i`m suprised we havent heard from the moderator yet though, as hes usually itching to get his views aired..................................

[nonzero]

Cheekymonkey - Brakken....

nonzero - Skeg....


Hmm...I'm seeing a pattern here, lets hope you don't end up with the same result as I :D

[thecheekymonkey]

muhahaha!

you drug taking drug loving individual you :D

[plan-9]

well got my tracking number already from divineo. will be getting the case in a matter of days now. hurray!!!

[ncasebee]

I was looking forward to getting a good case, but this is awful to hear. I was eagerly awaiting the Xtender case, but from this guys review....I don't know anymore.

After reading Brakken's review of the Hushtrap, I'm scared shitless of that one.



So I am officially at a loss for a replacement case. I don't know what to do.

Plan-9! Please keep us informed on your hushtrap case. I want to know what you think.

[plan-9]

i just put up a review with some pics in this forum. all in all..im quite pleased with the hushtrap. course i just got it..so we'll see how it holds up the next few days.

[ROFLMyWaffle]

well ncase, theres always the xecuter.

[brakken]

Wow, I wasn't aware any of these cases had been shipped out yet!?!? Maybe they shipped off their trial run (like GameCubeCase) did to make a quick buck? All I know is that no official reseller has gotten stock in or nor has any of the review teams (caugh, me, caugh) so who knows exactly how you came across this case, but what I seem to be fishy is thecheekymonkey (who is affiliated with GameCubeCase) mentioned he saw them at a fair and then suddenly you come across the same fair and find one and buy it and happen to participate on the same forums as he does. Again I repeat who knows how you actually got the case and the original condition it was in.

After looking at these pictures I'm dissapointed, but still skeptical. Why? It's simple this guy got the case from a fair and it came damaged. Though I doubt the case warping was a result of the reseller, but I'm sure the scratches and power button were because of the lack of care you described in your short review?

All the defects you described could of been caused by poor handling. When I got my GameCubeCase for review it came wrapped in bubble wrap, inside a box which was inside a large security bubble wrapped USPS envelope and it came from a re-seller who wanted to get his name out by having a good review done; and it turns out the damn case was still flawed!

As for you going to write a review... Here is some advice. Maybe you should try spellchecker out before attempting one and also try taking more then just a few side snapshots.

I am recieving all 3 cases for review so I'm sure I will point out any defects they may have and I know they are being sent directly from Xtender using good shipping so I should have a good impression on the cases.

Wow, guess it was a viper case. Just though u were a n00b that couldn't tell the difference between a Hushtrap and Xtender Viper Case . Also don't think you'll get your money back. Sounds like the xtender viper case is worse than the hush trap! PAPER STICKER! OMG!

Um... The Hushcrap cases come with paper stickers too, but at least the aren't pre-branded.

Looking at the Xtender case and knowing its problems makes me want to get a HushTrap case. I hope the Xecuter cases will look as good in real life as it does in the pictures it has released.

Xecuter is no doubt going to be 'high-grade' as per it's features and pricetag where as Xtender's two cheaper cases will be middle-grade and their expensive case with the nifty lights will be almost top notch.

I would wait for more reviews until making a decesion as the product hasn't even been officially released or given to reviewers. I'm looking forward to of course giving you the good and bad aspects of all 3 cases in my upcoming ISO-420 (http://modthatcube.pxn-os.com) Official Review!

[ROFLMyWaffle]

Um... The Hushcrap cases come with paper stickers too, but at least the aren't pre-branded.

I thought they were like laminated or something (maybe similar to the dol sticker on the bottom of the cube?). And thicker than paper. The Xtender case looks like it has a mail label with the viper logo printed on it.

They have been printed on glossy finished paper, but are not thicker then normal stock printer paper only more durable. Thin vinyl sheets maybe?

[kiranos]

wow brakken not to sound to harsh but from reading your first post you sound as you have already made up your mind. I know you have big expectations about the viper case but what say it isn't "crap" there has been no hands-on review before it's release, and yes they are shipping. They are sold in a few stores on the net. Even linked on this thread. If the case was really that good they should have shipped it to reviewers before the actual launch so it would get a flying start. but on the other hand, if it's not up to par they wouldn't. I realise that I sound as I have already made up my mind and chosen Gamecubecase.. :D but I'm just pointing out the main rule for a reviewer be objective and dont have an opinion before you start your review. That said I'm sure you will post a fair review even if you hate affiliares of gamecubecase etc.. This has nothing to do with how good the cases are which is what the public want to know. Over and out :)

Still looking forward to your review, I haven't decided on which I will buy, and I would love a review made by one who have seen all cases in action and now that you bought the new gamecubecase I'm really glad :D

Hey buddy, I got a bridge to sell if your interested.

Oh yea, and I have several acres of land in Louisiana.

Just let me know if you interested. Ill take paypal.

In all honesty, anyone still running IE should be kicked "square". Wake up for gods sake! YOUR part of the problem.

brakken, in all your wisdom, have you never thought to contact teamxtender? your comments are verging on paranoia..

Do you think i`m going to disregard teamxtenders cases over gamecubecase cases? hell they both have there problems, just to me and what ive seen, the buttons on the xtender cases need sorting out.
doesnt mean i aint gonna stock them as long as the problems are sorted out, and if you can be arsed maybe contact teamxtender and see, as i`m in talks now with them. This is me being biased eh, this is me just wanting to sell gamecubecase lids and not others!

oh and i think you may owe shyenate and apologie as what your basically saying is that hes me (or vice versa) and i / we are playing childish games and posting bogus information.

So an apologie if you please mr moderator, for shyenate, not for me as i couldnt give a fook, thankfully most people can see right through you and judging by the fair few e-mails ive had off people i`m not the only one who thinks you shouldnt be a moderator as it conflicts with your unbiased reviews.

(no, you aint getting the e-mails)

and how exactly do you affiliate me with gamecube case???

you are a moderator and as other people have pointed out, your pissed off with consolejunky / gamecubecase and as a result will never write an ubiased review (maybe your first initial review was unbiased but that soon changed).

so keep your mouth shut, what you forget is, theres a few people here who have actually met me in person, i`m no big shop, i`m no big company, ive done work for a few people who use this forum.

lets get it out in the open eh.

ive been repairing consoles for nearly 8 years, out of which ive been doing mainly xboxs for over three years.

my core buisiness is xbox repairs.
i run a small webshop (very small)
i write tutorials all day long to help people out and as away of small advertising for myself.
i sell gamecube cases.........
i`m going to be selling xtender cases as well, as long as the problems with them are sorted out.

i take time and actually check each gamecubecase my self to make sure the lids open, the holes are deep enough and actually pre-fit them to a cube i have here.

how exactly do you affiliate me with gamecubecase?

i have a couple of tutorials on there website?
i have a small banner on there reseller section?

does that mean i`m there buisiness partner?

so maybe you should get your facts right "brakken the moderator".

ive received e-mails off brakken.

the first one was an excuse to get the header of the e-mail to check my IP

the next was asking for help with his soldering tutorial.

i normally sit on the bench when the **** flys, as i find arguing childish, but your taking the piss now brakken, moderator or no moderator.

maybe people should check your affiliations eh? seems no case is gonna get a good review..............except may xecuters.

so in future brakken, either moderate or write your reviews, because at the moment, you serve no purpose as a moderator, and your attitude is a joke.

oh, and before you tell some one to use a spellchecker, maybe you should use one, as "cough" isnt spelt "caugh".

Maybe you should go back over all the posts and re-read your comments, as i`ll say again, you scorn people who have views which dont match your own.

DONT FORGET SHYENATES APOLOGIE!

[brakken]

I'm not affiliated with Xecuter and I have been in constant contact with Team Xtender about getting some sample cases for review. If there are negatives to post about both companies cases then I will go right ahead and post them.

HushCrap and Console Junky brought on their own problems by associating with PS2NFO and creating a poors quality products and only the latter influenced my review.

affiliation with teamxecuter remains to be seen, from your comments, your giving people that impression. i have nothing against teamxecuter or any other team...........

if you have been incontact with teamxtender then why post this **** about me and shyenate being the in cahoots, and tales of tall storys.

hushtrap and consolejunky brought on their own problems by associating with PS2NFO. full stop. This is because you dont like them, and thats it. not saying i like them, but you sound like a dictator.

and as for the poor quality products, i`m not saying there the best just that your first point, and the fact that you have fallen out with consolejunky has dictated exactly how far in your eyes these cases are poor quality.All other cases or products are going to get a better review than anything that comes from gamecuebcase if written by you.
As other people have mentioned, you seem to have already made your mind up.


Anyway, what about covering the other points in my post.

such as an apologie to shyenate.

How do you come to associate me with any team / company?

What exactly do you do as a moderator?

Personally, you serve no purpose as a moderator, you just do it because it brings attention to you, a fact that your not unaware of and of course because it gives you a feeling of power. I think you should resign.

I also think that you should put any feelings / personal misgivings between you and any other team / product behind you before reviewing anything.


I await your lengthy and detailed reply.

however i`d just add one more line.

Dont let personal influences sway you , and be nobodys *****!

If someone is known to make quality products then it would be fair to assume that new products will meet or exceed previous products, but mind you this is only an assumption. This ties in with your post below as you're accusing me of thinking that the product is good before I actually test it which is pretty dumb seeings is that most people have the impression that the PS3 will be good before they test it also.

if you have been incontact with teamxtender then why post this **** about me and shyenate being the in cahoots, and tales of tall storys.

Because they haven't publically shipped any cases yet and the facts surrounding the review are sketchy as hell.

Okay I stopped now; please tell me when I can go again?!?

This is because you dont like them, and thats it. not saying i like them, but you sound like a dictator.

Call me a dictator or not, but it doesn't change the facts that associating with PS2NFO brings about bad business in general.

and as for the poor quality products, i`m not saying there the best just that your first point, and the fact that you have fallen out with consolejunky has dictated exactly how far in your eyes these cases are poor quality.

Console Junky was a poor example of a public relations rep and no matter how your 'spin' your products to the public it doesn't change the fact they may be defected.

All other cases or products are going to get a better review than anything that comes from gamecuebcase if written by you.

If they have less flaws and appeal more to my liking then they will most likely get a better review and what is so wrong with that?

As other people have mentioned, you seem to have already made your mind up.

Other people? Are you counting yourself as others now?

Anyway, what about covering the other points in my post.

Sure I'll humor you!

such as an apologie to shyenate.

"I sincerly apologize to you shyenate for not being more of an a**hole and restraining myself for you apparent attempt to undermine Team Xtender's new replacement case."

How do you come to associate me with any team / company?

Since my initial review (http://modthatcube.pxn-os.com/content/reviews) of HushCrap's replacement case you have been siding with Console Junky, you (were?) are a re-seller for HushCrap and you admitted yourself you do business with them.

What exactly do you do as a moderator?

Read the rules (http://forums.maxconsole.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5859) and you can see my job here is similiar to any other public forum.

Personally, you serve no purpose as a moderator, you just do it because it brings attention to you, a fact that your not unaware of and of course because it gives you a feeling of power.

So now I'm a power hungry attention whore? I guess anyone who spends their free time helping the scene could be labeled this too?

I think you should resign.

but yes thay have, why not check many online retailor



Okay I stopped now; please tell me when I can go again?!?

sorry your humour just doesnt wash


Call me a dictator or not, but it doesn't change the facts that associating with PS2NFO brings about bad business in general.

Really brakken, you got banned, we got banned, alot of people got banned, get over it, many companys associate themselves with ps2nfo, you aint gonna change it, nobody is.



Console Junky was a poor example of a public relations rep and no matter how your 'spin' your products to the public it doesn't change the fact they may be defected.

yes thats a good point, im not gonna disagree with you, if its right, its right, just that you seem to make things out a lot worse than they are, muddy the waters so to say.


If they have less flaws and appeal more to my liking then they will most likely get a better review and what is so wrong with that?

You see this is the point brak, "more to my liking " who gives a fook wether you like it or not, just the do the review, objectively, consistently, regardless of personal sway.


Other people? Are you counting yourself as others now?

see quote above, you seem to ignore posts or just not read them.



Sure I'll humor you!

Oh you do a fine job of that.



"I sincerly apologize to you shyenate for not being more of an a**hole and restraining myself for you apparent attempt to undermine Team Xtender's new replacement case."

brakken, would it hurt to just say " look, i got it wrong, i`m sorry , in my haste to try and discredit anyone who doesnt agree with my line of thining, i mistakenly put forward a suggestion that two members where infact the same person trying to back each others posts up, and i`m sorry, i have no proof, but i`ll just ignore that bit and waffle on about something else completely unconnected with the original point of the apology"

see that wasnt hard.



Since my initial review (http://modthatcube.pxn-os.com/content/reviews) of HushCrap's replacement case you have been siding with Console Junky, you (were?) are a re-seller for HushCrap and you admitted yourself you do business with them.

Oh brakken, grow the fook up will you, this isnt about sides,
So i sell hushtrap products, so fookin what, whats the problem with that, does that mean that some of the forums sponsors are to be brought into disregard because they sell hushtrap products.

Gamefreax.de maxconsole sponsor check link :-

you really need to get over this
YES I`M A RESELLER
YES I DO BUISINESS WITH THEM, A VERY SMALL AMOUNT GRANTED BUT WHAT IS YOUR POINT?

i`m not even trying to defend hushtrap,i really couldnt care my point for all of my comments are you. and youve pissed me off with your atitude.

you dont like ps2nfo
you dont like console junky
you dont like hushtrap
you dont like gamecubecase
you dont like me :mad:

thats my point, and because of this, you put out you review, with the worst pictures in history of the one case you reviewed, which is fair enough, and i simply pointed out that your review was wrong in the fact that alot of the problems you over complicated, over rated and just generally overhyped.

the fact that you got mentioned on xbox-scene and team xecuters website had you practically wetting yourself.

you describe the fitting as being a case of "cutting / bending / snapping / slicing / hacking" etc etc not an exact quote granted, but the gist is there, yet ive fitted over 40+ of these cases, and while i admit they do have there problems but ive never had to cut / hack / slash / slice etc any of them.

and to make things worse you belittle and scorn people who have had "not as many problems as you" whilst fitting them.

Read the rules (http://forums.maxconsole.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5859) and you can see my job here is similiar to any other public forum.

oh ive read the rules mate, what i`m asking is what exactly do you do as a moderator. as it seems to me your just an attention seeking child who`s only excitment in life is his little popularity competition.



So now I'm a power hungry attention whore? I guess anyone who spends their free time helping the scene could be labeled this too?

yea you got that right, but to me you just drag the scene down by being biased and childish.And also righting any tutorials on soldering or anything, you may want to actually have some experience of soldering, and maybe some experience of hardware in general or at least some knowledge of the things you write about.



I think you should change your signature

Whys that then, another rule youve made up, maybe you should change your signature, infact maybe you should change your whole outlook on life.



The only thing that influences my reviews are the quality of the product as anything else is irrelevant.

that might be the case 99% of the time.


I had some really nifty tuorials on some of the case mods ive been doing, and the full size dvd-r tutorial as well as a lot of other stuff ive been putting together for a number of months, which i was going to release here, but in all honesty while your a mod, the only thing your doing to the scene is harm.

what you dnt understand is that with your childish comments your only alienating this forum from the rest of the scene. without manufacturers for products there isnt a scene at all. regardless of how crap some of the products are just tell the truth (which you invariably have) in an unbiased way (which you havent).

[kiranos]

Because they haven't publically shipped any cases yet and the facts surrounding the review are sketchy as hell.

I sent an email to them may 18 and they replied with: "they are shipping how many do you wish to purchase?"

So indeed they are shipping and have been for a while.

[thecheekymonkey]

Thank you kiranos.

but be careful as brakken may mail you now to see if your IP is the same as mine, as he now will think that we are all the same person.

expect people outside your house watching you day and night :D

[brakken]

Maybe I am getting screwed around by them then dealing with sample cases. If some show up at local USA resellers this upcoming week and still haven't recieved any samples I will go ahead and purchase them on my own expense.

look mate, my aim isnt to fall out with anyone, as you know, as i have told you and posted on many occasions.

I`m just trying to say that sometimes you should think through what you post, especially when dealing with people who post with regards to a different experience of certain products than you.and maybe push certain things aside.

seriously read through some of the replys and i hope you`ll see what i mean.

And when reviewing, get at least a couple of units to review that way you can count out it being a one off.

also get a decent camera ;)

yes, it would still be cow dung, but at least it would be finer detailed cow dung. :D

[gulliver]

Ok, since I'm an outsider to this thread and I just read through all the posts, I decided to put this issue in perspective so people could see it from a point of view that isn't involved in the argument.

"I sincerly apologize to you shyenate for not being more of an a**hole and restraining myself for you apparent attempt to undermine Team Xtender's new replacement case."

Why exactly are you so pissed at shyenate? What did he do besides say the case was bad? He has pictures; it's not like he made it up.

I'm on thecheekymonkey's side here, despite his ramblings on that first long post. Brakken, you should definitely not be accusing members of this site of things that you have no proof of. It would be wrong if you were just a member and it's even more wrong since you're a moderator.

And trying to get their IP's? That's a new low man. I'm sorry, but that's ps2ownz bullshit. I'll add that I'm only assuming this is true because you didn't deny it.

I said it was 'fishy' that is all and I could and most likely am wrong. If you didn't notice this was going along the lines of the whole 'paranoia' thing cheekymonkey has been throwing at me. Sorry you didn't get the joke :)

Well it's not hard to get anyone's IP address as I am a moderator, but no I didn't email cheekymonkey to 'get his ip' address. I emailed him because that's the only option to get a hold of him from this board and he has disabled Prive Messages. If I want your IP address I can simply click on the 'IP: Logged' text at the end of your post.

[gulliver]

Lol - I don't know why I didn't think that you could check the IP's here.

As far as your conspiracy theory being a joke though, I don't buy it because you said this: but what I seem to be fishy is thecheekymonkey (who is affiliated with GameCubeCase) mentioned he saw them at a fair and then suddenly you come across the same fair and find one and buy it and happen to participate on the same forums as he does way before thecheekymonkey brought up anything about paranoia; actually, it was in your first post on this thread. It just doesn't add up to me. And then you made the angry false apology. I just don't see how it's supposed to be a joke.

He made the paranoia comments in other posts . Though doesn't it seem fishy that in other posts he says he saw them at a fair and then the next day someone else happens to visit the same fair and buy one then happen to visit these forums and post about it? Doesn't seem right to me, but yeah it was supposed to be a joke ...

[thecheekymonkey]

brakken, although i deleted the e-mails as it was a few weeks ago.

but i remember.

you asked about my logo saying that you wondered who did it, as it was in the same style hushtraps.
i initially replyed with an apology, and stating that i`m not wanting to fall out with people.

i also gave you the website of the guy who did my logo.

after the initial reply i then mailed you again, asking if you just made it up to find out the IP of my e-mail address.

to which you replyed that yes at first it was, but that you where also after some graphics for your website or something, but it was to check the ip.

ive just received another e-mail from brakken, to which i`m just awaiting a reply, concerning IP addys.

he could of just asked me to reply cuz he wanted the ip of my hotmail to make sure its the same as the IP on log on for the board, hes entitled , him being a moderatot, he needs to check to make sure any removed members have not re-regged. As this was around the time consolejunky was removed and the "affiliated" slurs began appearing.


But i have nothing to hide.

i`ll say it again, i`m affiliated with no one, theres no alterior motives in any of my comments, i just dont like being attacked or seeing other people being scorned because one person thinks his views are gospel.


@ gulliver............yes i know i ramble, its a downside of being british lol.

But thanks for your point of view.

brakken, who said anything about the same fair????? did you read my post.

I live not for from manchester in the UK, which has the biggest computer fair in europe every saturday, thats where a friend of mine runs a stall, and thats where i viewed his stock of xtender cases.

to which i might add, i seen both sets of faulty / defect cases, both xtender and gamecubecase ones.


the computer fair is called "bowlers" check it out

he said he seen them first, before me, i simply stated what i had seen.

Also brakken, you would be suprised how many people browse these forums who actually live near you, in the past 3 weeks ive had customers contact me and ive done work for them, and as its turned out, 2 live in the same town as me, and 1 (today) lives in the manchester area.

Doesn't seem right to me, but yeah it was supposed to be a joke ...

Muhahahah!

I could care less about IP addresses either as anyone who knows how to login to efnet can find me or hell you can find my personal information and give me a harassing phone call as ps2nfo has spread it across the internet. :)

I `m not bothered about IP`s mate, this is leading away from my real point.

but yes, you having the powers on the board that you do, you could easily of checked the IP of me and shyenate and checked that way.

anyway, are you going to reply to my e-mail?

I had checked long before I posted and I wasn't trying to say you're using two accounts. I was joking that you two are in together to make Xtender look bad before their cases are released. Yes Xtender said they shipped them on the 18th, but to have them on the 19th and setup to sell is hard to believe as shipping at least takes a day or two if you paid for the expensive service.

OK fair enough, it was a joke maybe, but **** sticks mate, if i called you a paedophile, jokingly, in a packed pub jokingly regardless people would still think there may be some truth to it.

anyway, a simple sincere apology to shyenate for the joke i think may clear that up.

ive got e-mails here with regards to an order i`m trying to sort out from the 11th, although it doesnt state they where ready to ship, that particular e-mail got deleted, but iwas led to believe once payment was received the oder was ready to go

[thecheekymonkey]

sorry, one last thing, i have no reason to make xtender look bad, i`m in the process of trying to buy some stock off them as we speak.

although wether they will sell to me now is hardly suprising seeing as i`m affilated with gamecubecase and am only tring to make them look bad.:confused:

from baldbouncer.com

this is the way to do it...... take note all sellers..

The official Team Viper Branded full size DVD compatible replacement case.
A high quality easily fitted produced product from Team Xtender which allows full size DVD to be loaded on your Gamecube.
These units include the GC Light 240 which makes your Gamecube look like a mobile disco whilst the disc is spinning, this is disabled with a simple tap on the Viper Logo on the lid.

Due to previous poor quality releases by other manufactures we decided to hold back on stocking the replacement lids until we had tried and tested the quality, this product is exactly what was needed and of the quality we always aspire to supply to our customers.



Features

Replacement Case In Crystal Blue

Logo Enabled Flashing Lights For Added Bling

High Quality Finish Making It A Perfect Fit

The Ability To Take A Full Size DVD

sorry if i am stirring up s*it

[thecheekymonkey]

i dont see how its stirring up **** mate.

if they are fine, they are fine, i seen a few on my mates stall that werent fit for sale due to the buttons not sitting right (i.e. popping up, not flush with the case), and as i pointed out before my mate also had a few gamecubecase one (this is to satisfy brakken).

i havent actually had my hands on them yet, i was going to make a big order for some, but i`m gonna get a few off my mate first to see what they are like , will get a couple this weekend
end of the day i think they should be fine as my mate had 5 or 6 i think, out of a batch of 100, but i`ll be checking anystock i get before sending to make sure.


anyways, thats enough bitchin from me on the gccase subject as i`m just lowering myself to brakkens level.

the only reason i`m hitting back is not because i sell the damn things, its because of brakkens atitude to people........

needless to say he`ll have a review coming, so we`ll see what the boy (sorry cant help it) says.....

well come on then brakken, elaborate, why is it lies? FFS if you have any proof other wise, please post.

or should i say what exactly are you trying to say, ive already stated my connection with gamecubecase..i sell 2 products of there, i dont sell many.

ive stated many times my thoughts on them, thay yes they are cheap, that yes they have had there problems, that yes they arent perfect.....


anything else i can say brakken?

maybe you should talk about who your affiliated with :D


and as for you spouting on about personal gain, hell , repairing consoles is my job mate. my living, my only form of income, would you like for me to do for free? wouldn an accountant do your books for free lol.

maybe you should apologise to all the "idiot members" on here that you have insulted, maybe you should read your own rules brakken, (or just check my sig) and the go over all the posts where you flame and pour scorn on people who dont have the same opinon as you and edit them or just give up your position as moderator.


No Flaming

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion

so try not to put others down for their opinion.

Of course you may have a different opinion, but try to explain yourself without insulting other people

and try to do it in a professional manner.

Quote - "Writing the rules is no excuse for not abiding by them!"

[brakken]

Trolling again are we?

[thecheekymonkey]

just answer my questions, you accuse me of lying, what do you want me to do.

maybe you should lock the thread, i think that will be best, as your not gonna stop, and when your attacking me, or anyone else, i`m afraid i`m going to post.

oh and your guilty of that as well

Actually the hitler suites cheeky monkey quiet well as he has a very communist outlook on things.

See in a democratic society you're free to have your own opinion and of course defend it ... in a communistic society the goverment tells you what you want to hear and how you should think ie- lies to you, sells you ****, rapes you blind, then blames others for doing it and if you have your own opinion other then the majority you're scored for it.

Glad to see cheecky monkey is finally showing his true colors.

Oh now I know you didn't just say that. I'm gonna try to keep this short.

You do know that Nazi Germany was not in any way related to communism, right? In fact, our current political system in the US is much more similar to Nazism than communism. You shouldn't talk about something that you know nothing about. The things you listed that are supposedly what happens in a communist society are actually qualities of our own government.

There's never even been a real communist government ever. And don't say "blah blah Russia" or "blah blah Japan" because Russia was never communist and Japan isn't communist. They only say (said) they are (were). Saying something and doing something are two completely different things.

What democratic society are you talking about anyway? I know you live in the US and there is no democracy in the US. I'm not saying "This ain't no democracy!" What I'm stating is fact. The government of the US is a republic, not a democracy.

Basically, if you wanna respond to this, at least read up on Nazi Germany and the communist theory before you spout complete lies that don't even make any sense.

[rony2211]

??????????????? ok

[thecheekymonkey]

at least explain yourself brakken instead of repeating your other pointless replys.



avatar changed, its not the best, but then you can only work with what you started out with originally ;)


gulliver lol, i know you aint taking sides, but thanks for clearing it up

I wasn't trying to say Germany was it was stating Hitler was. I am well aware of the theories behind communism and democracy and am well aware how both have been actually impletmented and how they have turned out. You're right about the USA and it's failure, but the Nazi rule was far worse and did go along the lines of which I typed.

Okay, maybe my knowledge of such matters isn't that accurate, but my point I was trying to make is that I'm going to give my opinion and I will try my best to show others that it is valid.

If someone has a different opinion great, but that isn't going to stop me from criticizing their opinions to further illustrate my point.

I’m not going to sellout to make the cheap flaming fan boys happy PERIOD.

Ordered a teamxtender case with the disco lights, not the leds. So I'll post up some comments when I get it.

i did read the thread, i was confused as the title was xtender case review, and it turned into 6 pages of tosh.

you can claim that you are unbiased all you want but at the end of the day youre just in it for the buck you cant fool me! Ok seriously, you do this for a living, so youre coming off with a biased view, even if you say youre not at the end of the day youre making money off of it, stfu with the my opinions are unbiased ****.

i may say im the queen of england doesnt make me the queen of england.

Also keep the thread on topic, keep it in pm if you wanna play footsies, they should rename this thread to thecheekymonkey bitches at brakken.

Im gonna receive the product and give a honest overview over the quality of the case. No biased links to any groups, and i dont sell this ****, im the end consumer.

put it away brakken, your ips may conflict.

stfu with all the i`m not biased comments, mate have you checked the forums sponsor, see what products they sell :eek:

trusting me is not the point here innes, i`m not forcing anything down anyones neck, ive admitted they have there problems countless times, a point which you, brakken seem to over look, what pisses me off is the way brakken totally disregards anyone else`s opinion and then proceeds to slag them off, calling them idiots and the like, an experience which i`m sure will have when you give your review.

yes i do `this as a living, but i havent given a review, i simply voiced my opinions based on the 80+ cases ive fitted as opposed to the one, the master reviewer did. I simply pointed out the way he replyed to peoples posts wasnt unbiased.

how can i be biased if i`m stocking the xetender case.
how can i be biased if i`m stocking the xecuter cases.(when they arrive)

read the fookin posts properly before commenting.

my point yet again, is the fact that brakken doesnt like anyone who disagrees with him, to the point of threats, childish name calling (of which i admit i`m guilty of as well).

brakken wrote the rules, and hes broke them.

I'm not arguing with your point at all. I agree with it for the most part. You just touched a nerve with me about the communism stuff because Marxist theory is a major part of my field (sociology) and I know a lot about it.

Of course Nazi rule was far worse that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that the US is becoming very much a police state. We're not all that far from fascism in the US but I really hope it doesn't come to that. Btw...that's what Nazi Germany and Hitler were -- fascists. It's the complete opposite of communism. The only thing they have in common is that they both have dictators. In fact, Hitler's was a big opponent of communism. That's why the Russians were fighting with them. Did you know that it was actually the Russians that won WWII? The US didn't do ****. The Russians defeated about 90% of the Nazis and all the other countries combined got the other 10%.

But dictators aren't always a bad thing. Look at Castro. He's done everything he can to help Cuba and he's a really good guy. Did you know that statistically Cuba is more literate than the US? It's very much true. The only reason Cuba is poor anyway is because the US won't allow them to trade.

I also wanna add that the only thing you're wrong about in this post is that communism in fact did exist. It really never existed. Rulers just call themselves communists without actually putting any of the theory into their governments. Russia came the closest, but they weren't communist either. And anyone that thinks Japan is communist has a lot of reading to do. Japan is just as much capitalist as we are(US, UK, Australia, etc.).

Yes it's scary to see what is going on in the USA. Everything I was taught in school is being changed. More and more of our rights are being taken away every single day. I guess it comes down to the fact that the rich rule which has always been the case and I don't see it anytime soon.'

Glad I do own guns and I wont go down without a fight :)

Thank you for all your support guys and due to the abuse of this thread it's another locked on in the books.

I hope to see others reviews on the Team Xtender cases as I've heard mixed reviews so far.

I should have my case early next week so look for another ISO-420 Quality Unbiased Review shortly!

[brakken]

If you are linking from Console Junky who happens to have been fired from HushTrap for being a poor PR rep you might be interested in why he is finally trying to attack me. Read about it on my PS2BANZ page (http://ps2banz.pxn-os.com). You can clearly see he has a personal vendeta, but I am glad to see he's not freaking out this time.

My reviews are based on the samples given or that I purchase. I am affiliated with no company and make money off of no company. I've spent more money and time from my own pocket then I have recieved in samples. Samples that I do not use will be donated to various causes.

Sites I work free for may be affiliated with certain companies, but I do not profit nor let these affiliates influence me in any way, shape or form. I made this clear to each site before I became a member of it and will pull support and go public if any site tries to pull any kind of crap on me.

Certain threads may have been locked due to abuse by Console Junky/HushTrap/PS2NFO affiliates. If you read the threads you will clearly see they were being abused.

When it comes down to it the HushTrap cases are worse quality and have the same and more defects then the Team Xtender cases do.

If you have been around to go through this whole ordeal I'm sure you know what is really going on which is ... Console Junky is just trying to push the HushTrap cases.

As for the AheadGames deal at the time of my HushTrap review they were still selling the cases. HushTrap ripped off AheadGames along with many other resellers and users and was just trying to cover it up. AheadGames was one of the only stores to compensate their customers out of their own pocket. Want to know more? Read the PS2BANZ link above!

If you're going to purchase a product of course read as many reviews as possible and word of mouth goes a long way. I love this line of text from Console Junky ...

"We will let you you make up your own minds on this one, as you can read the reviews yourself. "

It's like he is assuming people are too stupid to make up their own mind and reminding them they can read the reviews themselves. Very funny indeed.

For those of you interested in the review of the really bad quality HushTrap cases see my ISO-420 Reviews (http://modthatcube.ngcdev.com/content/reviews).

It is a shame to see that console junky spreading nothing but bullshit around the place - what he needs to remember also is that Brakken has made the review it is not an official maxconsole review but a GOOD third party one.

A message to you consolejunky/Hushtrap/etc : If you have lost out on sales because of competition, then go back to the drawing board and try to improve things. Do not waste your time making pointless websites full of lies because sales have taken a hit. You not only insult Brakken, Team Xtender but maxconsole - now I have done nothing to you and do not deserve this crap all because of a THIRD party review by Brakken - yes he may be a moderator (a good one) but the review was NEVER linked to on the mainpage nor an official maxconsole review.
You have too much hate just for one guy (brakken) - get over it and move on...(he is surely not the reason for success/failure of a product?) if he wasn't a fan of your product then move on... Also it is very low to post people's personal names etc and infringe on their privacy all because you didn't like their review.

This is not the way to engage yourself in the scene, if you had a problem or some concerns you could have just pm'd me or e-mailed me or found me in IRC (like you use to).

Just cut the crap, there is no point in it at all - focus your efforts elsewhere not on bullying brakken on maxconsole, for this will not boost your sales.

I agree. It was a very lame and ps2owns-esque move.

You forget I'm the reason why people quit his company, that his sales are bad, that his life has turned to crap and the reason why there are evil people in the world! Blame it all on Brakken; seems to be the thing to do!
