Got a few things this week, much of it unexpected.
First up, I won a few items in a trivia contest NISA was holding on their Twitch stream:
This will perhaps make my D-brotha, Disgaeaniac, a little jelly:

Lanyard, keychain/charm thing, and a Prinny hoodie, all imported from Japan by NISA to giveaway

As far as game pickups, I took a little sick day/personal day to spend some time with the bf, and we decided to drop by our local weird reuse depot store and found these goodies for just under $25:

Need for Speed and Golden Compass are missing the disks, but I figured they'd be nice to have in case we ever found the game discs on their own. Everything else was CIB, and NBA2K8 was still sealed.
The bf picked up Chrono Cross at the depot and lamented that we already owned at least one complete copy. I suggested that we take it anyway, and he opened it up to find just 1 of the 2 Chrono Cross discs *BUT* in the rest of the case were the 3-disc FFVII discs and FFVII instruction manual. This was pretty fortuitous because he had just gotten a free copy of FFVII the other day from work but it was missing one of the discs and the manual. If anything, the discs were silver tops while the incomplete copy has white tops. Am I right in thinking that the silver tops are probably from the Greatest Hits version?
I'd never seen anything like the Memory Card case but decided to take it when we found 2 Sony-branded PS2 and 1 Sony-branded PS1 memory cards inside. There were a few third party ones, too, but I figured it was worth a shot to see if the older memory cards were still functioning.
We dropped everything off at home and went back out again because the bf wanted to get accessories for his newly rejuvenated MTG addiction. On the way back from him dropping $100 on that stuff

, I suggested that we check out one of the used bookstores nearby that has a small video game section...

I was ecstatic to find Mad Maestro (sealed) and Mister Mosquito (CIB) in the wild, so I snatched those up. Both in great condition.
A pretty good haul for what's usually a barren used-game landscape in this area
