Took my son to spend his Christmas money at Gamestop ( he ended up getting a Minecraft Diamond Sword ) and I picked up several PS3 games for myself.

Disgaea 4 : A Promise Unforgotten
Conflict:Denied Ops

I bought a sealed copy of Bayonetta 2 for the WiiU because I'm a moron.  It was $35 worth of good trade bait, I hope.

Prices are rising on Bayonetta 2, especially if it's the two-disc version with the original Bayonetta.

I dont really go hunting anymore. But today I ended up in Goodwill rummaging through their CDs. Been trying to find all the 90's alternative/grunge music I like. Found a Bush CD then I saw it. Shenmue. I was like wtf ... really? I picked it up and it was all there. All 3 CDs, manual, CD insert, passport and passport CD. $2.65 later, I own it (And the Bush CD was only a $1). :)

Sweet, sweet pickup for $2.65.  I love those rare times when you come across a really good or sought after game and it's dirt cheap.

Well done!  Finds are still out there.  Keep digging!

Goodwill seems to be one of the few places you really can "hunt" anymore. Everyone else just runs to eBay for pricing. And for the more well-known pricey items, so does Goodwill even.

I know there are a few decent Goodwill stores out there that will still price all their games low. Too bad none of them are near me; all the Goodwill stores have been completely pointless to go for probably the past 3-years in the Denver area. They either throw all their games on shopgoodwill.com or throw prices on them that rival all the local game stores. I decided a long time ago it wasn't worth my time to even look there anymore. Sure, I bet stuff slips through the cracks, but it doesn't make sense for me to go there several times a wee for months in order to catch them slipping. I have unofficially retired from hunting, which is sad because it used to be so much fun.

Finally got my Link Amiibo! Only took a week and a half!

Also ordered a new ps3 controller cable. My other 2 are junk...... I also need some new dualshock 3 controllers, but damn, they still pricey!

Had to get this since it seems it might not come out in the U.S. Good thing I bought it last week cause the price just went up by $14.

For the first time in a while I decided to go hunting some games. Came back with Shadow Madness and Dragon Power.

Ah...you can't give up the hunt completely!

I've been on a kick, buying PlayStation demos.  I managed to snag the Interactive Sampler Discs for the original PlayStation from 1-9 minus 3 which I already owned.  Also picked up the purple cover "PlayStation Picks" demo disc.  Also got a copy of 3Xtreme for the PS1 thrown in with the demos, complete.  Ended my little spree with the Heavenly Sword Animated Blu-Ray.

Never expected to find this little figure out in the wild, I've only ever known of it on Amazon at pretty high prices, but came across one along with a skyward sword one (Almost the same one you find in the little random egg toys you can get at Gamestop, but maybe slightly better looking).  Another one for the growing Zelda collection.



Also I put a Shovel Knight Amiibo on hold at Gamestop to grab tomorrow.  While Yacht Club said these shouldn't be hard to find, Gamestop only got 3, with the one inside the mall getting 4.  Pretty small selection if you plan to just grab one tomorrow.

The ESPN demo on the PlayStation Picks sampler is a pretty decent diversion. So is Jumping Flash.
