Hmm... interesting...

You have any more Paewangs lying around Andy ? I have a TE that needs a dual mod and I'm too lazy/hopeless to do it myself

Best to buy the Paewangs now since the NZD to USD is quite good atm.

Will need to order it mate I only order them per request as its not really a big demand for them from our community atm.
PM me if you need one, best if you can get more poepl order so you can save on shipment cost.

I'd be keen to do this to at least one of my two TE sticks. Getting frustrated with not being able to use my own stick at events.

If 2 or 3 of us order at once surely that can save us some shipping? Matt, Eru?

yeh, when you guys are sorted let me know.

I'm keen too... Not long until Nationals though

Stuff might happen quicker if we get stuff through you Graeme since you're in Central - keen ?

Also... maybe we should be talking about this in a separate thread lol

Yeah we should make a seperate thread.

I'm not fussed about in time for Nationals but we can try if you want. I just want it done.

Getting stuff delivered to me is awkward because there is nobody home during the day and I live in apartment where the mailbox etc is behind a secure/locked door so there is nowhere for the courier to leave it.
I normally get stuff shipped to my parents in Manurewa and I don't see them often so I normally only pick stuff up once every 2 or 3 months.

I have no problem ordering it and putting it on my Credit Card I just don't think actually getting the package sent to me is a good idea.

If the place that the chips are ordered from have no problem with shipping to a PO Box, I have access to one which is cleared daily.
Title: Re: Paewang Order Thread, Get onto it yo!!!!
Post by: xkheretic on August 02, 2010, 04:35:31 PM
Alternatively, can we ship them directly to you Andy?

Tell us about some prices so i can think about it. Would be easier to transfer to x box too. I'm still Sony for life though, got better games , better controller, worse tech/customer support though.

It's quite a bit of money though just to play better comp at one game lol. Shows how much of a fiend i am lol.

I hope BBCS has the better comp on ps3 or some other game lol. PSN need something going for it.

Im interested too. Wouldnt mind shoving one in the ghettobox for shits and giggles. How much are they?
Title: Re: Paewang Order Thread, Get onto it yo!!!!
Post by: stereomonkey on August 02, 2010, 07:01:20 PM
Paewang PCB's are:

54.95 USD    =    75.3996 NZD

Depending on the delivery you could split the cost on that to make it more preferable.
Title: Re: Paewang Order Thread, Get onto it yo!!!!
Post by: zos'la on August 03, 2010, 09:27:33 AM
the PCB itself is not expensive, its teh shipping cost that hurts.
if your going to order the whole stick + PCB its about 120-130 NZD
If your just going to order the PCB itself its about 90-100 NZD.
Prices depend on exchange rates from USD to NZD.

and Yes you can ship it to my place if you require me to mod it for you, though I do charge a fee as each stick takes about 2-3 hours of my personal time.

Just food for thought for the guys that are dual modding sticks.  If you are dual modding a 360 stick it ends up cheaper to do it with a cthulu, but its alot more complicated.

Also Andy, with the Paewang does the PCB autodetect the system it is playing on or do you have to hold a button down when you plug it in or something?
Title: Re: Paewang Order Thread, Get onto it yo!!!!
Post by: Skullator on August 03, 2010, 09:45:23 AM
You hold down the Turbo button when plugging it in, and it switches between it's two modes.
Title: Re: Paewang Order Thread, Get onto it yo!!!!
Post by: geneterror on August 03, 2010, 10:02:25 AM
I think we're all planning on modding PS3 sticks. Well I know me and Eru will be, Matt?
Title: Re: Paewang Order Thread, Get onto it yo!!!!
Post by: xkheretic on August 03, 2010, 11:09:22 AM
Ya, it's a PS3 TE that I want to have modded.

the stick working fine?

Most of the guys who needs modding are PS3 TE's but Lenny is prolly right with the xbox TE that its cheaper?but only by a fraction.
I'll save the hassle and pay a few more bucks for a easier mod.
Unless you know how to do it urself, a complicated mod would mean costing more for someone to do it for u.
Title: Re: Paewang Order Thread, Get onto it yo!!!!
Post by: Skullator on August 03, 2010, 11:53:53 AM
Yeah man working great.
Like you said, just need make sure you push down on the Turbo\Home buttons a bit firmer and all is well.

can u dual mod a RAP3?
Title: Re: Paewang Order Thread, Get onto it yo!!!!
Post by: stereomonkey on August 03, 2010, 12:09:58 PM
Yes, by getting the paewang PCB and installing it inside your stick.

I haven't done a HRAP3 before, but from what I heard they are as lame as the 3rd part stick mods? Ben or Lenny can prolly confirm this for mE :) but nothing can't be done, just need to figure out how lol... like the TE's I did last week was my first time and took me a day or two to figure out and test.
Title: Re: Paewang Order Thread, Get onto it yo!!!!
Post by: stereomonkey on August 03, 2010, 09:08:12 PM
If you guys are going to do this you better hurry the fuck up since it's only another two and a bit weeks till the nats.
Title: Re: Paewang Order Thread, Get onto it yo!!!!
Post by: zos'la on August 04, 2010, 09:31:48 AM
Thats right, so you better get your orders in this week so they arrive next week,.. and if you require me to mod it then it will take a few days as well...
Also I have a spare Paewang PCB up for grabs. $150 incl modding if anyone is keen.
Title: Re: Paewang Order Thread, Get onto it yo!!!!
Post by: [NIUE] BIRRY WONG on August 05, 2010, 09:35:20 PM
What about a price excluding modding?
Title: Re: Paewang Order Thread, Get onto it yo!!!!
Post by: fluxcore on August 06, 2010, 08:01:16 AM
I think that price is the one at the top of the page?

Also that's a pretty nice hourly rate for 30mins of work! How do I get in that business?

@ Fluxcore 30min?
even professional modders I see on SRK takes about 2 hours to mod a TE and these guys know exactly what they are doing as they have done plenty.
If your interested in helping out for free by all means, but I have better things to do than helping people mod their stick for nothing.

@ Bill
I am not selling it seperately as I have a stick I can put it in, but I offered it as a package for those who wants to urgently mod their stick.
Title: Re: Paewang Order Thread, Get onto it yo!!!!
Post by: fluxcore on August 06, 2010, 09:40:05 AM
2 hrs for a paewang? Man those guys must have 2 left hands.
Title: Re: Paewang Order Thread, Get onto it yo!!!!
Post by: zos'la on August 06, 2010, 09:52:35 AM
You never have anything good to say to anyone do u.
It maybe an easier mod but it takes time, which I don't have a lot.
pointless talking to someone like u, I am not forcing them to do it, they have a choice and I offer my service for the time it takes, simple.
Title: Re: Paewang Order Thread, Get onto it yo!!!!
Post by: Skullator on August 06, 2010, 09:58:59 AM
Andy is offering his time and skills to those that need it, he's also the only person here doing so
However people are more than welcome to order the part and attempt the mod themselves..

I certainly wouldn't waste my time off working on other peoples sticks and then sending them out again for charity. It should come as no surprise that you have to pay somebody for the work they do.
Title: Re: Paewang Order Thread, Get onto it yo!!!!
Post by: fluxcore on August 06, 2010, 10:13:45 AM
No kidding.

However I maintain my right to say that I don't think it's a reasonable value tradeoff.

It really depends on who I am doing it for, say if its for Graeme you, I can help u out if you require it, for free.
You have helped the community and myself out in many occasions and its logical I repay the favour.
This stuff takes a good 2 hour to do and materials cost money too, so who would spend time modding peoples stick and usign their own money for the materials as well? not logical is it.

doesnt matter what he thinks, I only do this stuff for friends anyway. If I had 2-3 hours spare, I rather use it to practice soem SF than moddign someone's stick for a couple of bucks.
