This thread isn't meant to replace the "ones that got away thread" that thread is for "man I wish I would have gotten blah blah blah". That's more of a regrets thread.
My intention was more "here's something interesting I came across but wasn't interested in enough to take home." No real remorse or regrets. Just interesting discussion fodder.
Stories like the $160 Master System Bundle and the $100 Xbox is what I was going for. That's crazy to be sure. I just picked up a bare xbox console +video cable for $7 today.
That makes 5 original xboxes I now have.
I'm thinking I am going to have them each painted by an artist in the theme of Scott Pilgrim. Each one will be a different one of his x's and together they will be my 7 Evil Xboxes.
Or hopefully someone will want to trade something for one of them.
Each one I take apart. Thoroughly clean. Replace the harddrive with a newer, bigger, faster one and ensure the DVD drive still works properly.
After that I upgrade them to the last system software released and softmod.
And I backup all the info needed to replace the harddrive in case the one inside it ever dies.
Anyway. Make of this topic whatever you guys want.
Here's another thing I passed on:
Time Crisis 2 for Playstation. At 3 dollars it seemed like a steal. Until I looked at the disk and saw it looked like it had been scrapped across the floor.
I also passed on this empty Spider-Man 2 GBA box for $3
