Remembering the NEC TurboExpress portable video game system in true pcengine-fx.com style, we present to you an unboxing in true cinematic style - enjoy!

Pure quality as always.  Great video!

Well done, good sir.  I especially like the 'made possible by the original management of Turbo Zone Direct'; forget those Red Frog bums!

P.S. - Is there a downloadable version available?

Joystiq was kind enough to post up the TurboExpress unboxing film!  Thanks Joystiq!

And yes Nec - had to give credit where credit was due :)  What downloadable format would you like the film in?

I just shed a few tears.

I am not quite sure why.

But I did.

Quicktime, ProRes 4444 codec please.  :)

Just kidding, I don't think they have that over "there", so Windows Media will do fine.

LOL!  Oh man, don't get me started.  I just had to purchase a codec to edit a Sony XDCAM HD ProRes 4:2:2 project.

Who is selling that?  ProRes is just an intermediate codec!  Oh well, at least you can use it now, so that's what counts.  ProRes is the one of the best formats to edit in.  I transfer all of my Canon 7D footage to ProRes for editing.

*sniff* That was soooo beautiful. T_T

The music makes me want to cry.  It's so nostalgic... remembering back to days when portables didn't have touch screens, tilt sensors and cameras... all they had were the games.

Would love to see the CD-ROM2 unboxed.  Should have unboxed that Magical Chase while you had it, the internet would have exploded!

Raw Dalsa in full 4K.....  :lol:

Windows media is fine; I don't really care, as long as it's playable on something other than that piece of poop known as Quicktime.

Actually, Quicktime is far more versatile than Windows Media.  Windows users have kind of a gimpy version of it, so for them Windows Media is fine.  I actually play WMV files in Quicktime.  If I used Windows as my main OS, I'd play both Quicktime and WMV files in VLC, because the Windows Media Player kind of sucks ass.

Yes, I should've clarified that I was talking about Quicktime for Windows.  It's everything that Apple zealots like to mock about Windows: bloated, unstable, resource hungry, and insecure.

I hear you can't even download Quicktime for Windows without also downloading iTunes, which is completely lame.

Not sure, but you can't download iTunes without also downloading Quicktime.

They try to sneak Safari in there also, but it is optional.

Link is only temporary so download it while it's HOT.

Got it!  I am surprised that you chose 24fps instead of 23.98 which the 5D Mark II shoots at.  Did you conform the footage to a new frame rate before editing?

Woo-hoo, I nabbed it.  Thanks, Aaron.  :D

Of course.
