When I transfer data via a USB 3.0 port to a USB 3.0 Compatible external hard drive, the speed never go more then 3 times the speed then if I were to transfer it via USB 2.0. Im pretty sure it's been stated that USB 3.0 is 10 times faster then USB 2.0.
So I would like to know the reason for the slow transfer speed.

Alright, this little inquiry is result of too much free time and serious rage at Bioware being uncharacteristically dickheaded on behalf of our beloved EA overlords. So, I heard that if a game is saved to hard drive, and you purchase the DLC to this game and download to it, the DLC is now with game files on hard-drive, and as such, it can be accessed by any other profiles that play the same game on the same console.
Is it true or bogus?
The game in question is Mass Effect 2, since it's array of DLCs is completely disabled for my region (Central/Eastern Europe), including free ones, and I was hoping to go around it that way. There shouldn't be any problems with languages or anything, since my ME2 copy is entirely in English. Even the manual. I will need a crapload of points just to buy second access to Cerberus Network (since I don't think I can use the one on my "first" account).
I originally though about attaching it to original ME discussion, but I guess this can also apply to all the other games. I think.
DLC can always be accessed by any profile on the same console.
But Im almost pretty sure that the R2 copy cannot use R1 DLCs.

My most expensive one would have to be this: http://myfigurecollection.net/item/4977_fate_stay_night_matou_sakura_1_6_new_lineShe was a Wonfes 2006 exclusive and I ended up paying $300-$400 for it
That's a sexy figure!

Chizuru from Kanokon! This is my holy grail. It's a 1/4 scale figure standing @ 15.7 inches. She was $150 and it is my most expensive figure, and she was worth it!
She's hot as hell, I regretted not getting her back then,I wasn't the spender I was back then.

I haven't taken some shots in some time, but I'm working on my "Room of Expensive Hobbies" now (it's just a glorified closet I've devoted to it.) So I'll probably break down and take a bunch of pictures after my next (and probably last batch for awhile) comes in. Chie is an amazing figure; I'm a big fan of Ishikei's work and Native always does top notch stuff, so you definitely made a good purchase there. I really wish I had picked her up, but I've been running in the red month by month with all the dakimakura expenses lately. As far as my recent acquisitions, probably nothing you wouldn't be aware of already.
A lot of expensive purchases from ã‚ã‚“ã“工房, a Marks cover, and 3-4 covers from an artist you already have some work of, OriginZero.
Quick and in-concise of the past few months:
3 Illust Guerrilla items: the Twins, Konomi, and a big cushion cover
3 from ã‚ã‚“ã“工房: Shana no Shakugan, Gosick, and an original I believe. - Haven't received the latter two yet
2 from Blueberry: Both Touhou characters, but I'm not well informed on names... the drunkard and a blue haired chick
Sheliss from Night When Evil Falls
1 from Marks: A Sakura that I haven't received yet
Then the 4 from by OriginZero: 2 Touhou covers that I have already, a third that I won a week or two ago, and then I just won the Mio cover a couple of days ago.
Maybe I'll take some pictures or recent stuff before I get my next big batch, but we'll see.
Well, I found Chie at a decent buy now price of 17k yen. ANyway, prior to her, I own one Native figure, the Banana Girl illustrated by T2. I got some new bounties to show as soon as they arrive next week 1x2 from amiami and 1 x2 from Origin Zero( I bought Seraphim) AND DANG IT, I KNEW IT, you were the one who snatched Mio away from me. Excuse me while I go to one corner and cry.
Yeah, that is pretty decent for the bathtub version, as I think she originally retailed around 15k and you would have had to gone through a proxy no matter what. I have their Erio cover on preorder; did you have to go through a proxy for them? I ordered directly on the site, and they sent me an email in English, so I'm assuming I'll be fine. If so, the prospect of finding a circle willing to ship directly to ship globally really excites me.
As for the Mio, share the wealth, my friend. This will be my first of this particular dakimakura and I'm quite excited to have it. Though if you really want a back up, there's another listing for her right now, for only 1000 yen more than what I paid: http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k142665293
Black and White store and their affliate Origin Zero ships internationally, I bought from them thrice directly . Okami, Super Sonico and Seraphim, they're gonna ship out my Sera later today.Yes, you should be pleased to know what you paid covers shipping to you(it's EMS ^_^) SO I always found this store to be one of my favourite, They have good deals that are valued for money, they also use 4 way tricot, which is I assure you personally from using Mio and Okami to be very durable and much more scratch resistant.I didn't order Erio, because I didn't quite like it, I wanted their variant B but apparently it will not be made. But I just saw their upcoming new work, that blond Loli, it looks good enough that I will buy it,thats coming from a complete breast lover.
Actually, I have 2 copies of Mio already, why I thought of getting another is beyond me.>_>

Out of curiosity's sake, where did you buy them?

I salute your prowess. I look around maybe at most twice a day, once at the start and at the end of the day. That was good enough for me nail that exclusive 2 days Marks web order dakis. As of recent, my purchases seem to have broken a whole new record, I added this seemingly erotic figure, I think she's called Chie and comes with a bathtub from Native. Im not really keen on collecting figures, I have like only 20 figures throughout the years, but damm she looked awesome.
Anyway, show me your new stuff, Im dying to see some new dakis I can buy.

Recently I just received my monthly credit card statement, it was about 56 000 dollars worth of past transactions, I never knew my collection was so costly( I vaguely knew my Dakimakuras were killing me), though Im pretty sure it's past 60 k already.

For all those who don't know of this site I found a Japanese blog dedicated to dakimakura info: åŸ‹ã‚‚ã‚Œã‚‹æŠ±ãæž•er I found it useful and even added it to my RSS feed.Yep, that's an absolutely amazing site. I probably check it about 30-40 times a day, either to see upcoming releases, see if I can find a sample image for a YJA listing, or just see what other work a particular circle has done.

I have 3 dakimakuras and all were bonus items. I have maid Tama-nee from To Heart 2 AD Plus, Tama-nee china dress version and Kanu from Koihime Musuo. Maid Tama-nee was a dvd bonus and the other 2 were mag bonuses.Tame-nee china dress version

Kanu

LOL, I have those 3 as well.But Kanu is definitely not a magazine freebie, this is Cospa's.
I just gotten my new batch of dakis from YJA and Amiami
Waffle's eroge line of dakimakura.Grabbed 2 copies from amiami.




This dakimakura has one side Siesta and the other my beloved busty elf Tiffania.


I finally found my long lost Mio.

Perhaps my question should have been what is the difference between a doujin cover and a bootleg one?Sorry, I misinterpreted your question, Official dakimakuras are always manufactured by companies who license corresponding anime franchises like cospa for example.
Doujins on the otherhand are done mostly by fans. Typically these are released during comiket and sometimes available via web order.
The main difference is that licensed dakimakuras always have restrictions on how the character is depicted, depending on the franchise, the most they will show is nipples but not genitalia.They have very choices when it comes to fabric where it's normally smooth knit or polyester suede. 2WT Lycra is picking up though.
Doujins are unrestricted by most will still conceal genitalia, there are a small handful where they will draw completely uncensored artwork, which is the kind that I love most. Coincidentally, these uncensored dakimakuras are extremely popular, and they fetch a high price in auctions. Furthermore, they come in a large variety of materials, nowadays most are made from 2WT/2WT Lycra or 2WR. And currently, only one doujin circle uses 4WT, undeniably the most durable fabric.
Now about bootlegs, these normally are knockoffs of both licensed and doujin dakimakuras, their print quality will almost be assured to be less colorful and detailed as the original. And they are always made with peachskin polyester because it's one of the cheapest fabric currently. In short, it's pretty much : "what you pay, is what you get".Look back one page and you can see comparison photos which I put up.

Biggest difference most people would point out is price. You can generally get "fakes" for $30-60, whereas "official" covers range from 8000-100000 yen (not official price, just your ability to purchase it anywhere, such as an auction site - average first run price is usually 10000-15000 yen.) But the price difference is probably why you're asking in the first place.Main differences are usually the material used and the print. I don't have any fakes, so I don't know what the material feels like, but it's generally called Peachskin. Print quality can definitely differ between an official and fake cover, but from what I hear it's generally comparable. But there may be some small changes, for whatever reason; I've personally heard of a BRS cover that didn't have her trademark scar on the fake cover, but had it in the "official" artwork for cover.
I actually posted a comparison photo for fakes and original in the previous page, why no one looked, boggles my mind.

Just got this in the mail yesterday. Adding to my small collection that I have built here for the last few months. The more I get, the more I get addicted to it... :D(Sorry for the poor quality. Stupid iTouch...)

Love your collection. I really like the nendoroid Chun-Li figure.
That chun li figure is a pinky not a nendoroid.
And which reminds, I recently took out a bunch of my limited edition petits to display

Ooo.. Interesting... What are Pinky figures? I see the difference between the two now that you mention it.
Pinky:chara figures are figures from almost any game and anime. Also they frequently come in pairs, like the chun-li, it comes with a sakura and if you get the KOF one, you get Mai and Athena. Exception are some other figures from monster hunter but these usually come with more accessories.

Bleh, done Saki's routes now. Onto Tyria and Cocona~!
LOL, that trophy was irritating and it's only a bronze trophy, but I got it on my first playthrough and gotten Saki's ending.I even obtained the max money trophy, it was easy as hell. Come to think of it, I stopped play few months back after I did so. I have no motivation to platinum the game and I totally dislike the main female leads this time round.
I do like several of the personas more like Soma, if only she was bustier....
