@foxhack, those are some great prices! I would have more DC games if I could find them for that cheap!

Are you in the U.S.? Because I generally find most Dreamcast games to be pretty cheap, here in the U.S. Skies of Arcadia is an exception, but then that's usually the case with many JRPGs on any console.

Well... I live in Mexico but buy stuff to resell at local flea markets in the US.

Thing is, most of these flea market booths are owned by Mexican people, who love to mark up the prices on everything. These are likely the cheapest Dreamcast games I've ever bought there. Most of the time they want $5 or more per game, unless they think it's a music CD, in which case they only ask for $1-$2, unless they're jerks.

(I'm allowed to criticize people from my own country, right?)

I've also been to flea markets up in Tennessee and man, the prices there are INSANE. $15 for Super Mario / Duck Hunt, $100 for Final Fantasy VII... this was a few years back though. I have no idea if things have... settled since then.

I live in Canada and I rarely see DC games unless they are sports ones and even then they are normally priced at about $5.

This is why I haven't been to a flea market in years. It really turned into just walking around looking at games and never buying anything.

If $5 is an expensive game to you, then you should just get out game collecting now.

It depends on the game, if it is NFL 2K1 then yes $5 is WAY too much for me. I have also spent $150 on a single game before so I don't mind spending the money if it is worth it.

I got me some japanese PS3 games!

First, E.X. Troopers, which I got because Capcom are once again being buttheads and aren't localizing it (adding another thing to the near endless list of bad Capcom decisions this gen).
Second, Mamoru-kun wa Norowarete Shimatta! Meikai Katsugeki Wide-Han (Best Hit Selection)... wow that's a long title. Got this one because I heard it was similar to Pocky & Rocky on the SNES.

Also... if anyone needs a 5$ off 60$ order coupon for play-asia, let me know in a PM. It needs to be used before February 16th and I doubt I'll use it.

Picked up my first game of the new year today as a birthday present from my parents Master of the Monster Lair of the DS. I have missed out on too many Atlus games and it sounds like an interesting concept so I picked it up.

Picked up a few Vectrex overlays. Other than Halo 4 last month, it's been a pretty quiet couple of months for me.
