Ive only seen that Cube in pics ... I wouldnt have expected one to be in the states. Nice score. Are you ready to adopt me and put me in your will yet?

So you can murder him and get all the games?  I see your plan. Sneaky bastard

Some amazing finds this weekend people!  Congrats particularly on that amazing Zelda collection and finding the Panasonic Q.  Crazy to find that thing out in the wild!

Not much for me this weekend.  I didn't get anything myself, but my mom found some Genesis games at a garage sale and my buddy handed down to me a Game Gear with a few games.

I found an indigo gamecube with 2 controllers in great shape at a thrift store for $8.00. When I got home, I found a power cord and tried it out, but it's dead. I also realized that there was a game in it too, some Lord of the Rings game. At least I got some good controllers...  I also got my retail copy of New Super Luigi U yesterday.

Picked up another broken black GameGear. This one puts me at 2 black and 1 blue. It came with Sonic so not all bad for $5. I keep putting off buying the cap kits to fix them.

Can I get a "WtF"?!

Wasn't even thinking about getting Xillia.

Hit-up a garage sale today & they had a sealed & boxed copy for sale marked @ $20 

I was talking to the guy about it -and- w/o even asking, he said just give him $15 for it 

I was quick in reaching for my $ 

I don't "get" it though...maybe a gift to someone desperate for (drug) money looking to convert it to quick cash?

Anyone else ever see this or have any other theories and/or explanations for it?

Lucky! I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a quick way to get cash for drugs.

Y-e-a-h...

The only other scenario that I can think of (in which that whole deal makes sense) is if somebody stole it (paying nothing for it) -and- just made 15X their investment in selling it to me for $15.00

Still pretty, damned stupid, though...as he could have ripped off the plastic wrap, took it to GS to sell it to them "used" for, probably...what...at least double what he sold it to me for?

My PS3 FF14 CE arrived today. Pretty nice piece. Just a shame that the soundtrack is only five select songs and not the full thing as the music in the game is fantastic. Not sure if there is a physical full soundtrack out yet. But I already got the PC CE when the old junk version released so I still got the new version for free. Bought the PS3 CE so I would have that version as well. Been playing since Saturday. Game is having the usual MMO launch issues. Tons of people trying to play it and the servers can't handle them. Regardless of all that, I am having a ton of fun in the game. Its not some ground breaking new MMO design. Its just a really polished Final Fantasy MMO.

I've seen a few people on the internet who have completed the main storyline and say its amazing. Comparable to a single player FF story and an excellent throwback to the older FF games. Saying its well worth the $30-40 purchase just to play through the main story.

Hope to see some people in-game! (Once they allow more people in ) Also added all [NA] versions of the game I am aware of to the database. Need scans for the PC and PS3 standard versions and the PC Collector's Edition.

Got TimeSplitters 2 (XBox). Been looking for this game forever, I'm glad that I found it. I have to clean the fingerprints off of it though. I got it in Kissimmee, Florida (I live in London, Ontario).

you know they are making timesplitters rewind (fan made game with full licencing.)

Yeah, I'm glad they are, though I was extremely disappointed when they cancelled TS4.

i was crushed. timesplitters series is my fav first person games. its the first game i played with both analog sticks

haha, I was just thinking the other day about that game and it is the first one I ever played like that too.  It too forever to get used to that.

Found a pretty good priced lot of SNES games today at $2 each and 2 Intellivision games at $0.77. Total after tax $19.85. I was surprised to find these at this Goodwill cause I know the area I was at is full of resellers and a used game store.
SNES
Championship Pool, John Madden Football '93, NFL Football, Paperboy 2, PGA Tour Golf, Street Fighter II, Super Mario Kart, Super Return Of The Jedi, Tecmo Super NBA Basketball.



Intellivision(not sure why since I don't have the system)
Venture, NFL Football


At my close by Goodwill I found TailSpin and Blaster Master for $5.05 each. It's neat how one Goodwill prices cart games at $1.91 and other Goodwills price them at $5.05. I passed on Infiltrator due to the $5.05 price. I already have it.



I also passed on a bag of cords with a NES Advantage in it. It had a SNES power pack and a couple Sega 3 button controllers for $20.
