    Future Shop/Best Buy had a deal on today in Canada, trade in ANY PS3, 360, WiiU, PSVita or 3DS game and get a copy of Battlefield 4, COD Ghosts or Assassin's Creed 4 for the PS3 or 360 for FREE! Limit was one copy per person per store.
    It took about 9 hours but I was able to get copies of each game for the 360 and PS3 plus a couple for gifts. My wife and son were with me so we got 3 at each and I had reserved 2 at 3 stores to make sure that we got what I wanted and would be giving for gifts. The longest wait we had was over 3 hours and by the time we hit the last store they only had reservations left so we were done in about 5 minutes.

    Have such a long day I hope to God this sale never happens again!

    I think the best part of the day was trading games with other people waiting in line. I traded Fight Night Round 3 for Injustice! Also one of them had a bunch of clearance games for .25 a piece.

Here are the pictures from the trades I did yesterday:
I turned these minus the last four which I didn't have to trade:

Into these:

And then I bought these for $40 and $25 of that was Tomb Raider:

Damn, I wish my Best Buy would do some sort of crazy thing like that.  Even the clearance stuff looks good.

Yeah, that trade-in deal sounds so good, it sounds too good to be true, even. But there it is, picture proof.

[elraiser]

Yeah and i can also proove it is true

With the re-acquisition of this game (I traded it away, before), I am now official only 1 game away from my complete U.S. Neo Geo Pocket Color collection (my want list, not going for a complete set). The U.S. library really isn't all that large, so it's not a hard feat to accomplish.

Here's what I have now:

1. Bust-A-Move Pocket
2. Dark Arms: Beast Buster
3. Fatal Fury: First Contact
4. King of Fighters: R-2
5. Metal Slug: 1st Mission
6. Metal Slug: 2nd Mission
7. Pac-Man
8. Samurai Shodown II: Pocket Fighting Series
9. SNK vs. Capcom: Match of the Millennium
10. Sonic Pocket Adventure

So now, all I need that I still want is Shanghai Mini (which is basically just mahjong, so no rush when it normally goes for $20 at the cheapest. I can wait for a cheaper copy to come along).

I really wish the NGPC had a larger library since it's likely the only Neo Geo system I'll ever own (the others are too pricey to collect for), and it really is a solid little handheld.

You don't want Last Blade or the Cardfighters Clash games? :O

I think the NGPC suffers a bit for being an SNK device - everyone looks out for the beat 'em ups and Metal Slug but it's got some good RPGs in English and there's a surprising amount of variety on import (I was playing Densha de GO! 2 on mine yesterday!)

No on the Card-Fighters Game. Not into card games.

And I would like to have Last Blade, but not for the $40+ it's going for. Same goes for King of Fighters R-1, Mega Man, and Cool Boarders Pocket. Those are just too expensive to be practical additions to my collection, but if I ever came across them cheap I'd take them.

Killzone: Shadow Fall came in early. I guess it'll be super fun just looking at the packaging for the next 4 days...

Had a cool item come in the mail today.

A Custom NES Cart called 8-Bit Xmas 2013.
It is released by RetroZone only in November and December then discontinued.
They make a new game every year and the cart lights up with Christmas lights. They even come with a Christmas Card with a sexy girl on it. 
I found out about these carts a couple years ago so I have 2011, 2012 and now 2013. (see pic)
They made a 2008, 2009 and 2010 but these go for well over $100 if you can find them today.
Better grab them when they are released if you into NES, They sell for $43 and if you want to spend and extra $8 you can have a personal message programed at the title screen. 

Last two years they also had SNES Xmas carts (2011 & 2012) This year they didn't release one for SNES.

I may have to pick up a copy of 8bit Xmas.  That cart is pretty cool and I LOVE Christmas   Do they change the game that's on the cart every year?  What is the 2013 game?

I've been working on my NES black box collection and recently added these games:

• Wild Gunman
• Donkey Kong Jr.
• Donkey Kong Jr. Math

That only leaves a few more black box games I still need to get (Pinball, Volleyball, Clu Clu Land, Mario Bros., Donkey Kong and ugh, Stack Up).  If anyone has these for sale or trade, let me know!

I also added these
• Uninvited <-- been wanting this one for a long time
• Robocop 2
• Zelda 2 (gray cart version)

Yes, every year the game is different.

2011 - Plays like Warlords on Atari. But Christmas themed.

2012 - Plays like Loopy on Colecovision, You play a plane grabbing up presents.

2013 - It plays like Galaga, you play as Santa shooting enemies above you that dance around to Christmas Music.

The cart looks cool in your top-loading NES. But most people have the old grey box unit. Kind of defeats all the hard work put into lighting up that cartridge.
