Looks like I'll start out February's finds. (even though many of this was the end of January) ::)
I went out on a game quest and traveled all over to many game stores, thrift shops and gamestops.
Also a game came in the mail. Bought a lot of stuff this trip.
PS4
Saw these in a bargain bin and I've heard they might become obscure so WTH.
- Stick it to the Man
- Putty Squad
XBone
Got a heavy discount on this brand new, read about amiibos to find out why. lol
- Grand Theft Auto V
VITA
Got this in the mail.
- Hyperdimension Neptunia Re:Birth 2 - Limited Edition
Wii
Picked up these real cheap, I remember seeing a video saying this game was hard to find so wth.
- We Cheer 2
And this was only $2.
- Trauma Center New Blood
NDS
Last day I could use a coupon for a decent discount at my local used game store so i picked out.
- Pokemon Platinum Version
PSP
Saw this cheap Complete with PSP Camera so I grabbed it.
- Invizimals
PS2
- Wild Arms 4
GBA
Brand new sealed for $2... Sure why not.
- Unfabulous
DC
Continuing my Dreamquest, Found a few more games I was missing.
- Dragon Riders
- Namco Museum
- Tee Off
- Iron Aces
PS1
Found a couple titles I was still missing in my PS1 collection cheap.
- FIFA Soccer 2003
- Golden Nugget
SAT
Found a couple Mint condition Saturn games cheap so I nabbed them.
- Andretti Racing
- Crime Wave
GBC
One of the places I stopped at a asked about GB/GBC games and he pulled out a huge book filled with games and they where only $2-$4 a piece and I picked out a few.
- Bionic Commando
- Magi Nation
- Crystalis
- Donkey Kong Land III
SCD
Stopped at about five different Saver Thrift Stores and most had nothing but one had some games that caught my eye. For $3 each i got.
- Cliffhanger
- Ecco the Dolphin
SNES
Found a couple games I was missing priced right.
- Power Moves
- Liberty of Death
Amiibo
First I stopped at Target (waited 2 hours before they opened in a snow storm) and got...
- Rosalina
Stopped at Gamestop and picked up...
- Bowser
- Toon Link
Then stopped at Toys R Us to get lucario that I pre-ordered....
And i they sold them all last Friday to ONE GUY. not kidding here. Some idiot didn't hold any for the pre-orders. I was not happy and the Manager Took my info and will make sure the next batch will go to pre-orders. As an apology she gave me a heavy discount on any game I wanted so I got GTAV on XBone.
Then I go to Best Buy to see about Meta Knight, and the guy said oh we had those a month ago and they already sold out. Now I think he might have been mistaken because there's no US Meta Knights flooding EBAY so I think it just got Delayed. (I hope) lol
So I went to another Target and picked up 2 more Rosalina's JUST IN CASE i need em for trade to get the 2 I need. :-\
If you have Lucario or Meta Knight and want to trade for Rosalina send me a PM. I'd rather trade and know i get one then wait and hope i get one. lol
Only 5 more items and I hit 10,000!!!! :o

I didn't take any chances and picked up my Lucario preorder the Friday morning when everyone was lined up to get one. I have been getting multiples of most Amiibos as both insurance just in case preorders fall through (or get sold to some asshole trying to scalp 20 of them). As you said, getting extras helps with negotiating trades later on if needed.

Unfortunately I wasn't told they where selling them on Friday, When i talked to a Clerk before I was told they will be available Sunday, They couldn't sell them before release date. Target did do this, TRU didn't. :-\
I just couldn't believe they let ONE guy buy them all. Target Limited it but the first one had 1 per customer and the second had 2 per customer. That's how I got 3. I'm Gonna hold them for trade for any I miss.

Wow, that's a pretty cool haul! :)
-
I am pretty much over Amiibo's at this point. If I find them in a store I may pick one up, otherwise it's not worth the hassle.

Like a lot of things that are popular with modern gamers, these amiibo's and the pokemon-like "gotta get them all" mindset baffles me. Nintendo is genius at separating the masses from their money though I suppose.

I agree the Amiibo popularity is getting out of hand and resellers and jumping at the chance to make a quick buck and making certain figures hard to find. Main reason I want a set is one I like the figures in general (some more then others) and two I love how they look in my game room, I have these two support beams that they hang on perfect and I want to cover these in Amiibo Figures. I figure once all of the SSB figures are done these supports will be pretty much covered in figures.

There's drool all over my keyboard now :o That's so neatly stacked / displayed, I love it!

My friend, that is a superb collection and a sweet setup. I wish I had the disposable income and space to keep a collection like that. Congratulations.

DC
Continuing my Dreamquest, Found a few more games I was missing.
- Dragon Riders
This game holds a special place in my heart. I'm not really sure why. I never hear anyone talk about it. Unfortunately, my Dreamcast won't read my copy and the replacement copy I bought was actually sealed (had a generic picture for listing) and the collector in me can't bring myself to open a sealed game like that.
Doesn't help it might be the console itself and not the game. One day I'll grab a spare Dreamcast to make sure.
Anyone else play Dragon Riders: Chronicles of Pern?

That actually happens to me a lot as well. It seems like the longer something is sealed the harder and harder it gets to open.

Yup it's definitely a conundrum. The worst part is I know this copy would be pristine if I opened it, but I can also sell it for much more than I paid and just get another copy. That's a lot of work though lol.
I'm having the same problem with my Amiibos. But at this point I'm convinced I'm going to open them all, as I want to use the damn things, plus display them nicely! It's going to hurt actually doing it though.

Same goes to me. First thing that runs though my mind when opening something is "How much is this going to decrease its value?". Which is stupid because I probably won't end up ever selling it! 8)
And don't even get me started on Amiibo's lol. Once I get my N3DS its going to be impossible for me to open them. If I do it will probably only be the select few common ones and not the extremely hard ones to find.

I opened every single one of my Amiibos this past Sunday. :) But first, I looked up the best way to do so without destroying the package, borrowed my wife's xacto knife set & carefully opened each one to preserve the packaging, which I then put away in a storage container.
I probably need help. :P

I'll probably just go whole hog. I don't really have the space to store empty boxes. I'll probably post pics of the empty box pile when I'm done. Good on you for opening them all though!
We all could probably use help ;D
-
The Amiibo/Skylanders bug never bit me. I saw from the very start it was just a ploy to open up your wallets. A sort "collect them all!" scheme. I figure paying for a console, a game, and possible DLC should be plenty. I don't need to pay for dozens of little figurines on top of it.
-
From the different boards I frequent, it seems there are two types of people: those who enjoy hunting down & collecting Amiibos, and those who have some kind of irrational anger about the whole thing. The second type baffles me. ??? I'm not trying to come down on anyone in particular, like I said I've seen this same attitude from several different people on several different boards - as if Amiibos are some kind of personal offense to them. Just...baffles me. :-\
-
I don't hate them, if you like them more power to you. I just don't want to spend the extra money on them because consoles, games, and DLC is expensive enough already for me.
-
I think the anger comes from the fact there are people who buy up every amiibo at the store and then you can't get it for under $40 or something like that online. The way I see it is people will charge whatever someone will pay and if you're that hard up that buying something for like 10-15 bucks then only having a slim chance it becomes collectible to make a tiny profit then you need that money pretty badly so go ahead and be a one of those shady "resellers" most of us complain about haha. If anyone has the time and energy to do that with limited edition video games then good for them I'll just never have it or get it at a flea market in 10 years when nobody gives a rats ass anymore :)
-
Amiibos to me they are great cheap little figures of some of my favorite game characters that look great, and happen to have an added bonus of functioning with some games. at least thats my opinion before resellers get their hands on them. Oh yeah I got a Diddy Kong and another Link amiibo.

OMG Amibos, grrrr!!! I'm just glad to be on the outside looking in on this one, without the urge to spend money on more stuff and dealing with more scalping and insane prices that what I already do.

Here's my take on the Ammibos. Within a week, I had picked up the first 12 figures. Then the internet exploded with news that Nintendo had discontinued Village, Marth and Wii Fit Trainer. Then the next waves were announced with retailer exclusive figures. I saw them going for ridiculous prices on eBay. I wanted to buy some other games, so I sold those three (Marth, Trainer and Villager). Shortly thereafter, Fox became scarce and I sold him off. The remaining eight I traded in at the local mom & pop game store for store credit. I made my money back and then some.
The thought of fighting, searching, scouring, etc. to find these figures was enough to turn me off. I think they are great looking figures and they are something that I always wished Nintendo would make. But not like this. This retailer-exclusive BS, discontinuing figures a few weeks after release...I'm not going through that nightmare to find all those.

I think amiibos are bad for the environment, just like K-Cups or Skylander figures. Not everyone is a collector, so my guess is that a bunch of those will be pitched and the amount of plastic waste will skyrocket.
That said, I don't -hate- amiibos but I do -HATE- the impact they have on the hobby of video game collecting. People who legitimately wish to collect them but missed out will be SOL unless they want to give some scum-ball, f*cktard on eBay (a website I grow to hate more and more with each look) a ton of money that could be used for other video games. These people should be ashamed of themselves.
I know of no one on here doing that (yet) but, those are my two cents on the matter.

That is pretty much why I just decided to sell them. Assbags are buying them up in bulk and hoarding them to sell for obnoxious prices online. I'm not going to drive myself insane or pay more than retail for them to get them all so I just ended it and made up my mind not to buy any more.
As for eBay, sure there are a lot of d-bags scalping items on there for ridiculous prices. However, eBay has been an invaluable tool in acquiring many games that I otherwise would never have been able to find. In particular, if you collect Japanese games eBay is the place to find them. Picked up all of the Famicom and Super Famicom Final Fantasy titles for less than $20 each (with shipping) complete in their boxes with manuals and the plastic tray that holds the cartridges. And the artwork on those game boxes are beautiful. Also just picked up a complete in box Chrono Trigger for the Super Famicom.

Import box art has always been much better looking than the American counterparts, especially with RPGs.
I didn't know you read Japanese. That's awesome. I have a few import titles that I'm excited play, but I just have to be in the "mood" for them.

I didn't know you read Japanese. That's awesome. I have a few import titles that I'm excited play, but I just have to be in the "mood" for them.
Oh...I don't read Japanese. :-\ As a collector and someone who appreciates the beauty of the artwork, that's all the drive I need to get these games.
I've always hated how everything from Japan was "dumbed down" for American audiences. It's not such an issue anymore, but I remember as a kid, two of my favorite shows were Star Blazers and Battle of the Planets. The original Star Blazers as Space Battleship Yamato is so much better. People died, we saw the Yamato return to it's original resting place beneath the waves in the end as well as seeing the WWII battle where the Yamato was sank by Allied forces. Battle of the Planets as Gatchaman was a completely different animal. 7-Zark-7, the goofy R2D2-like robot didn't even exist in Gatchaman! Zoltar was a hermaphrodite, Pidge (or whatever his name was) spoke normal instead of that tard-speak from BotP, people died, $hit got blown up....completely different!
As for games being "changed" for the American audience, some particularly egregious examples are the first two MegaMan game covers.

Got my Ike Amiibo in the mail today from Amazon. It looks awesome! It might actually be my favourite one so far! :)
I also spend my 300 club nintendo coins today and got Harmoknight. I actually really enjoy these type of games since I first played Bit.Trip Presents Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien. Not to mention I 100% it on the ps3 8) I think on penprofiles all 5 of the rarest trophies I have are from that game!

He got his from Amazon.ca. My Ike Amiibo was supposed to arrive today from Amazon.ca as well, but I guess they just didn't feel like delivering it today. :-\

According to the tracking number it's still out for delivery, but it's kinda late now and I doubt I'll get it today. I probably won't get it tomorrow because they can't be bothered to deliver mail while it's snowing outside. Our tax dollars hard at work there. :-\

Got it for a great price, well happy with it :D

Picked up Devil Survivor for the DS. Yes, I already had Devil Survivor: Overclocked for the 3DS, but I'm totally a completionist when it comes to my SMT games. I now have every NA release for every game in the series (including the spin-offs like DemiKids) EXCEPT for the NA Jack Bros. for the Virtual Boy.
Yes, I have the Japanese version (the one with the ADORABLE box art) but I now I think I'm going to need the NA one too...

First game for February.
I got Out of Gas for Game Boy. $3 at Goodwill!
-
So I originally had the PS1 version of this. Somewhere along the lines, I lost it. I later acquired a Saturn version to replace. But I wasn't happy with it. The graphics weren't quite as good, and the game looked dark. So I recently picked this up at Goodwill (BTW, I have a disc only copy of Tomb Raider for Saturn in great condition for trade, plain case included ;D )
(http://vgcollect.com/images/front-box-art/16927.jpg)
And this was another 99Gamers acquisition, only $6! (game only, but for that price I'm not complaining, I'm loving these DS Dragon Quest games!):
(http://vgcollect.com/images/front-box-art/9.jpg)
Plus this one is one I've been wanting to play for a long time, as in decades. One of the first NES games I ever played, and owned was Pin-Bot. It was one of the games I got with my original NES as a kid. Played the hell out of it. This game here is an unofficial sequel. And both were done by none other than Rare:
(http://vgcollect.com/images/front-box-art/5856.jpg)
And of course, I had to swing by Barnes & Noble to pick-up the latest issue of my favorite magazine running today. This month: A spotlight on the original PlayStation, and a tribute to the father of home consoles: Ralph Baer.

Now that I'm *finally* back to work after a solid year of unemployment(!), and at a legit good job that pays a fair bit more than I was making before, I also finally picked up a PS4!
Provided I don't do anything stupid at work, this year should turn out to be very good for me gaming-wise :D
-
Forgot to mention in my post above that I also picked up this guy for only $5. I played the demo years back, and I enjoyed it.

Swung by Toys R Us tonight & found a used copy of Sam & Max: Beyond Time & Space for the Wii for $8. That was an average price, but since I never see it around here & it looks brand new I was ok with it. While I was there I noticed a Pikmin 3 guide & decided to scan it at the price checker to see if they had marked it down. Turns out it had been pennied out - I was shocked, haven't come across any penny guides in the wild in a LONG time now! So I scanned all the Nintendo guides they had & also found these for the same price:
Nintendo Land
Lego City Undercover
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
Very happy with that find! :D

The 10,000th item is American Mensa Academy :P
While I have 10,010 items listed on VGCollect, technically I only have 9936 items in my collection.
I have 74 games that are from XBLA listed and digital downloaded games don't really count. ;)
So... the count down continues lol ::)

Also, depending on whether I counted correctly or not, you can subtract 504 items from the list (hardware, accessories, etc.) and come to a total of 9432 games!

Nice of you going to the trouble lol
But when it comes to judging a person's total collection number. Hardware and Accessories do count towards a gaming collection, I'd also count variations. The only other things that I personally don't count are duplicates, swag, promotional items, action figures, soundtracks, toys, digital software, etc. while I have added a few of these, much of it was never added to VGCollects data base. As for beating the "world record" I believe its only Games and "maybe" full consoles.
This is why when I counted down to 10,000 I only said "Items" and not games. :P
But i'll do a countdown on "games" once i get closer to 10,000 just games. lol ::)
Maybe by the end of the year.... ;)

I wasn't trying to say that they shouldn't count, I was just trying to let people know how many games you had in case they were wondering. Anyways, I wish you the best of luck in reaching your goals for the year, hopefully this will be the best year yet! Also, I noticed that you don't collect PC games. Are you planning on doing that sometime in the future?

Pickups for the weekend. C64 and PSP games were from a local shop, the others from charity shops. Came to about £31 in total, not too bad :)

I just received Disgaea 1-4 from a friend of mine. He's moving out of State and since he's never going to play them again, he decided to give them to me instead.

Yeah, it's a month behind here because it's printed in the U.K. Has to be imported over here. I'm sure there's customs inspections and such it has to go through.
But since it's a retro magazine, it doesn't matter much if it's a little behind. And it's easily better than the U.S. version that started up last year, though I do have a subscription to it.

PC games is the one thing in gaming I do not collect for, PC is so finicky to get to work sometimes and most newer games require key codes that I just have no interest in the hassle. The closest I come to collecting computer games is Console Computer Games. (Commodore, TI-99, Atari Computers) Every time i stumble across "Big Box" PC games cheap at garage sales that are decent games I always use them to trade. But even then there's not many collectors in my area who want PC games.

I was walking into Gamestop yesterday and the regional manager I talk to alot was dealing with some goofy looking dude trying to sell a PS3. I overheard the conversation about he came in previously and they told him to come back yesterday with an actual controller with the system. Apparently the person he dealt with the day before neglected to mention that it had to be an actual Sony brand controller and that they still wouldnt buy the system. He packed up his stuff and walked out. I asked my buddy if he was done with him and he was like yeah, go for it. I followed him into the parking lot and asked what was up. He told me that his friend sold his own PS3 to them a few days previously for $55 and he wanted to do the same. I offered him $50 and he bit. He handed me two bags. The first one had the system, the cables and a trashed black Sony controller. The second one had a brand new green wireless Afterglow controller (even still had the receipt in the bag where he paid $27+ tax for the controller the day before). I brought it home, plugged it in and made sure it powered on. After that, I went and reformatted the whole thing. Took almost a full day but now I have a 250 gig PS3 for the bedroom with a brand new controller to go with it for $50. And the Afterglow controller was one of the 2 I didnt have in my collection anyhow so its a bonus. :D
Oh yeah, and after I got it, I went back inside and picked up a brand new copy of Thief on the PS4 for $20. :P

And there was only one left and the friend wanted it, but I'll keep an eye out for you. Target and Toys R Us haven't gotten them in yet that I've seen.

I only said I was tempted lol I personally have issues when the prices get too crazy like this and I feel bad when trying to sell stuff for extreme prices. I ended up selling my partially opened Marth for pretty cheap to a friend.
-
Also got my Toon Link, and shulk amiibo today sheik came on Monday I got an email from Amazon saying Mega Man will be here on the 16. Just waiting now for Gamestop to get Ike and Sonic in.
-
I just got an email from BB saying that Meta Knight will be in on the 20th. *crosses fingers*

That Star Wars set has SW: Battlefront 1, which is not on Steam for some reason. It was $1.50 because the seller thought it was a DVD. SURE I'LL TAKE THAT. This seller usually has games for $5 at least so I kept quiet. :P
The Playmobil set... well, it was $2 and it looked okay.
That third thing is a CD-R, it's called "Kid's Challenge Pop 613". It looked weird - the screenshots made it look like a Bubble Bobble clone so I grabbed it. It apparently teaches "Jewish culture and values." I'm not the target audience but finding a Jewish game (as opposed to Catholic / Christian stuff) was pretty strange, so why not. That was $1.

On vacation for 2 weeks and did some game hunting.

IMPORT TIME!
(http://i.imgur.com/3ABobKB.jpg)
Won all this decent junk at reasonable prices. The four GB games were 20. (Pokemon Blue, Kid Dracula, Gargoyle's Quest, Wario Land) Four N64 games for 15 dollars. (Smash Bros, Mario64, Mario Party3, DK64) I did outright buy Famicom Kid Dracula for 20 however. I love yamatoku-classic. He doesn't list the titles in his lot listings so the amount of people who actually see the auctions are limited. I'm gonna sell (or trade) Smash Smash since I already have a boxed copy. Hit me up if you're interested. I'll post it in my Selling thread. (http://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,4619.0.html)
Now for some newer stuff:
(http://i.imgur.com/wRAAFIv.jpg)
Bought some new GC controllers; both white and black variants. I also bought a Mint green Game Boy Player.
Now I just have to find the mint green system.... In the mean time I'll have to live on my Platinum GC.

Edit: These additions finally pushed me over the 500 mark!

I have looked for Link forever. Does that place you got those have any extras?
There was one left when I was there, but I'm going back to see if its there for a buddy, but if I find an extra, I'll see about grabbing one for you.
As for today, I picked up my amiibo's at Gamestop. So tempted to sell Shulk with him going for 60 bucks lol
(http://i.imgur.com/6iKxt9o.jpg)
*EDIT*
And there was only one left and the friend wanted it, but I'll keep an eye out for you. Target and Toys R Us haven't gotten them in yet that I've seen.
I really want a Shulk... it's the only Amiibo I'm interested in ha.

I just got an email from BB saying that Meta Knight will be in on the 20th. *crosses fingers*
I got that email too. I was really starting to worry. Here's hoping!
Also, no pre-orders for Wave 4 have hit yet correct? I haven't seen any pre-orders and was starting to wonder if I straight up missed them. I want that Ness one hard!

Nope, no Wave 4 preorders yet. Gamestop just started taking preorders for the Mario Party batch last week, so it may be a while yet for W4. I have a friend who works at GS who will definitely let me know as soon as they are tho, so I'll relay that info ASAP when it happens! :)
-
Hmm, I haven't gotten my Meta Knight e-mail yet. Hope I've got one waiting for me next week!
-
My friend at GS texted me today to let me know my 2 Shulks are there. I was going to keep one sealed, but another good friend missed out on the preorder so I'm letting him have my spare.
-
ya... so this came in the mail today...
I'm so happy to get...
GBA
- Uno / Skip-Bo SEALED!! ;D
Another game in my Dreamcast collection. :D

Well it keeps getting better. lol
This find comes with a story. :P
I stopped at Target yesterday and asked if they had any of the New 3DS XL Majora's Mask Edition in stock for tomorrow, and the lady was nice enough to look and she said they had four in stock. So I'm thinking I better get here and wait outside the store early, so I get up at 1am and head over to Target and I see four people already in line. :(
EVERYONE knew about this.... so I left figuring well I'm not getting one, Then I decided to travel to the next closest store, it was a smaller store about 20 miles away and I figured WTH.
I get there about 2am and there's no one waiting out side this Target. I thought this is ether good or bad, good I'm the only Idiot who is willing to show up this early. (lol) or bad they didn't get any in and everyone knew it. So I figured WTH I'll wait. So I waited in my car at first, then people started to fill the parking lot, So I headed over to sit by the door. Next thing I know two cop cars surround me and they ask what I'm doing? I told em I'm waiting for the store to open to get a New 3DS XL that comes out today and the cop laughed his ass off and they left. lol
The rest of the parking lot was mostly employees waiting for a Manager to let them in and I guess one called the cops on me. lol
A second guy with his wife showed up and we got to talking about games, memories playing games etc and he wanted two New 3DS XL's Majora's Mask one for him other for his kid (or so he said, I always figure anyone who wants more then one is looking to sell) :P so the two of us sat out there til about 6am not even knowing if this Target had any Majora's Mask systems in or not. Finally an employee asked us what we where waiting for and we told him and he said he'd go look for us.
So we wait and he comes back out and he tells us they got two in. Hurray!!! So I get one and this couple will get one. We wait a little longer and He comes out again and tells us That he was going to hold the two for us so We could just wait in our cars. And after going to my car then EVERYONE else started to show up. The first hour I told people what was going on, and most left. Once it got closer, (15 minutes til open) an old lady showed up with her son all mad that the two they had where being held for us. Guess she was hoping her son could out run us to it. lol
She started yelling at an employee about holding the two Majora's Mask systems and the employee told her these guys have been here sense 2am, so they have the right at the first two systems.
So we got in and they all ran to the electronics, well the guy told us ours where held at customer service so the couple and me calmly walked over and bought our New Nintendo 3DS XL Majora's Mask and got the heck outta there. ;D I took a chance and it paid off. ;)
I'm so happy I was able to get this. ;D ;D ;D
While I still would have pre-ordered this online if I could have, It's kinda cool to get a story behind how I got mine. 8)
Ahhh the thrill of the hunt. lol ::)

I have awesome friends. Got these for free!

Great story! I like it when people who actually want the systems end up getting them!
I thought about going to wait for one this morning, but my daughter woke up in the middle of the night with a bad dream so I ended up laying down with her and fell asleep in her room by accident.... :o
Also I really didn't have the funds because I needed to spend some cash to make sure the misses knew she is loved for Valentine's Day. So it is best that I didn't make it out.
Well it keeps getting better. lol

Hori Controller finally came in after being in the transition for about 2 week and a half.
(http://i.imgur.com/Z5pInYl.jpg)
It looks awesome! Nice buy :)
I was walking into Gamestop yesterday and the regional manager I talk to alot was dealing with some goofy looking dude trying to sell a PS3. I overheard the conversation about he came in previously and they told him to come back yesterday with an actual controller with the system. Apparently the person he dealt with the day before neglected to mention that it had to be an actual Sony brand controller and that they still wouldnt buy the system. He packed up his stuff and walked out. I asked my buddy if he was done with him and he was like yeah, go for it. I followed him into the parking lot and asked what was up. He told me that his friend sold his own PS3 to them a few days previously for $55 and he wanted to do the same. I offered him $50 and he bit. He handed me two bags. The first one had the system, the cables and a trashed black Sony controller. The second one had a brand new green wireless Afterglow controller (even still had the receipt in the bag where he paid $27+ tax for the controller the day before). I brought it home, plugged it in and made sure it powered on. After that, I went and reformatted the whole thing. Took almost a full day but now I have a 250 gig PS3 for the bedroom with a brand new controller to go with it for $50. And the Afterglow controller was one of the 2 I didnt have in my collection anyhow so its a bonus. :D
Oh yeah, and after I got it, I went back inside and picked up a brand new copy of Thief on the PS4 for $20. :P
Cool story, gotta love when you find a missing piece like that ;D

No 3DS for me :(

I know how you feel, I thought I'd never get this game but I decided to sell enough of my extras to enough credit to get some of those "rare" games I've always wanted. It also helps I found a seller who was a fellow collector who worked with me a deal that was way under what most people are selling it for. (the guy had 3 copies of Little Samson) He has a complete NES set CIB, A complete set Loose and a third near complete set mixed with loose and CIB and he was selling that third set. I was playing all day yesterday, great game.

Funny story - I managed to get in on the second round of MM CE preorders that Gamestop did the day it was announced, but that was when they bundled the CE guide with it and forced you to order both. I collect the guides as well, but wanted to get it from Amazon to get a cheaper price. Talked to one of my GS employee friends and he said I could return the guide at the store no problem, so I planned to do that & then just order one off of Amazon. So I thought about that earlier this week & decided to see what Amazon was currently selling the guide for - pulled it up, and what do you know, they're sold out. So I pull up Gamestop's site - same thing. Now hearing stories like yours, I'm thinking it was a blessing in disguise that I had to order the guide as well because at least now I'll have it. Once it comes in (Monday it looks like - according to tracking it's in town now but shipped so that it will only deliver on business days :-\ ) I'm gonna return & rebuy the game & guide so I can get the 20% discount GS gives when you buy the guide w/ the game.
On a related note, while I was looking for the guide on Amazon I saw that the cheapest price they had listed on the Link Between Worlds CE guide was $120! :o Figuring this was a case of Amazon sellers being too optimistic I pulled up ebay & looked at the recent completed auctions. It's selling for that much or more for new copies, and used ones aren't too far behind. I picked that one up when it came out luckily, even tho I still don't have the game for some unknown reason. I'm VERY glad I didn't decide to wait until I got the game to try to get that guide! :D

What the hell :o I'm glad I got the Link Between Worlds one even before owning the game, but now I'm totally beating myself for not ordering the Majora's Mask guide... Damn it. There goes my complete Zelda CE Guide, probably never going to be complete anymore :( I don't even know why I thought I could buy it later, seeing how 1- the CE guides always get rare, and 2- NoA has some serious quantities issues recently. I totally derped on that!

I'm VERY glad I didn't decide to wait until I got the game to try to get that guide! :D
Yeah I made the mistake of not ordering the Link Between Worlds CE Guide and I learned how screwed I was about a month ago. Man I wish I could find one of those for a nice price :(

Ran to the game store for some model paints and checked out their PS2 section.
Walked away with this for $2, complete. Usually I only ever see Winback 2 in stores, so I had to snag it.

Nintendo is having to keep inventory low due to their financial situation. Quantities were always limited, but it seems even more extreme now. Even though these guides sell for crazy amounts on the secondary market - Nintendo wouldn't be able to sell through the extra quantity.
In one way I like that the secondary market helps drive sales for Nintendo, but on the other hand it is the most annoying thing about collecting in my opinion.

What the hell :o I'm glad I got the Link Between Worlds one even before owning the game, but now I'm totally beating myself for not ordering the Majora's Mask guide... Damn it. There goes my complete Zelda CE Guide, probably never going to be complete anymore :( I don't even know why I thought I could buy it later, seeing how 1- the CE guides always get rare, and 2- NoA has some serious quantities issues recently. I totally derped on that!

Nintendo doesn't make the guides Prima does, so if anything Prima is buying the rights to make the strategy guides.

I don't know, Nintendo has enough money in the bank to live another 25 years of high deficit and still be alive. I don't think they lack money to print stuff before making profit by selling them :-\ And, though demand is increased by the current rarity, I'm pretty sure they could calculate the magic number where offer and demand cross.
-
Bummed to hear that about the Link Between Worlds strategy guide. I've been collecting the hard back ones for a little bit and wasn't focused on them when that released. Crazy how much it is selling for. 30 to 50 bucks for it used? I wonder why that one is so expensive. All the others ones don't seem to be like that.

Picked up Dynasty Warriors Next for the Vita. I know next to nothing about the quality of this game, but it was fairly cheap so I thought 'why not?' :P I'll probably give it a try in a couple of weeks.

My wife is awesome!
I came into my room after coming back from getting my stereo replaced in my car (from it getting broke into and stolen). And in my room is a GameStop bag that says Happy Valentine's Day with this inside!
I am now officially current-gen on my consoles (not counting my 3DS)!
Just waiting on the controller to charge now...

Went to a church sale today that happens every weekend but is usually weak in gaming or anything interesting, great for people who need clothes and appliances cheap so I decided to go to see if I could find any treasures or a toaster which is desperately needed if I wish to make grilled cheese again without using a pan that i then have to clean :p and ended up walking out with a brand new winnie the pooh uno, a complete copy of blast lacrosse on ps1, complete copy of wild arms 1 for ps1, just the disc of the lunar 2 soundtrack, and a cute mug for valentine's day all for $1.35 :)

This game was sort of a let down for me. I wasn't prepared for little screen Dynasty battles. Also I had a hard time determining what difficulty level to set the game at. Seemed like things were way too easy, or starting to get too difficult if I went to high.
The "online" feature was pretty silly too.

Seems like it was a good idea to go in the toys section at the dollar store!

Picked up a few games for my new Wii U. Already came with Nintendo Land and Super Mario 3D World, which I'm having a blast with. But I also had to get these ones:

Decided to play a bit after reading your reply. Thankfully you kept my expectations from getting too high! The difficulty confused me a bit as well. A beginner AND an easy mode? I found that a bit odd. The camera and touch screen mini games are a bit annoying as well, though it didn't stop me from playing 3 hours straight.
Not sure I'll bother with its "online" feature...

My Best Buy preorder is supposed to come tomorrow. I even saw one available at Walmart the morning of release, but I thought for sure my preorder would arrive in a reasonable amount of time.
No more Best Buy preorders.

I've been very vocal about how best buy f#@ßed it up. I emailed asking why it hasn't shipped yet and I basically got an answer that sounds like "yeah we'll contact you when we ship it until then leave us alone" with some noticeable misspellings. If they had said that they didn't get enough in to fulfill all the preorders... well I would've pointed out the that it was still available to order online on friday but I would've been more understanding of that.
-
Yeah, as of now I'm only preordering things from BB that are going to be extremely mainstream/common, unless I have no other choice (as was the case w/ my MM New 3DS). They screwed me over 3 times in a row on preorders, twice on Amiibos (and I *still* haven't found the Captain Falcon I had preordered from them & then they failed to deliver >:() and once on the LE of Guilty Gear Xrd.
Honestly, I wouldn't preorder ANYTHING else from them except that the 20% off new games is too big of a discount for me to turn down. It is ridiculous that they haven't even shipped my system when status has been "preparing order" since Thursday I believe.

I had a really good experience with preordering Bravely Default Limited Edition using Best Buy so I thought I would go ahead and get the New 3ds. Big mistake...
EDIT: Sorry for the rest of you, but I did just check UPS and at least it is supposed to deliver today now.
-
While still annoyed I didn't get my Majora's Mask New 3DS, I did get my 50 dollar cheaper regular one in today. Just gonna run out to get myself a larger microsdhc card to put in this for lasting space and I'll be playing it tonight. Should be getting my Majora's Mask game in tomorrow.

I don't order, pre-order or anything from Best Buy any more! The last thing I ordered was when New Super Mario Bros. 2 for the 3DS was released. I ordered it online for my youngest daughter. It shipped on time and arrived promptly. And that's when the trouble started.
I opened the box to find a Apple Magic Mouse inside. WTF I thought. I looked at the invoice, which was to some other person. But the invoice didn't match the mouse. It was an invoice for a Canon digital camera! So not only did I gets somebody else's mouse, someone else got a game they didn't order and yet another person got a camera they didn't order! >:( How do you dingle-d!ck things up that bad??
I called them about it right away. The rep told me sorry and they would ship a new game out to me ASAP and told me to drop the mouse off at the UPS store. Being that there was no return label, I knew UPS wouldn't take it. I asked him and he said "yeah, uh. They should take it no problem." Ok.....so when I was in town, I went by the UPS store and told them what the Best Buy rep had relayed to me. The guy working there looked at me and said "Uhmm...no. That's not how it works." So I took it back home with me and called Best Buy back again. This time, they said they would send me a return shipping label. I waited about 3 weeks. No label ever arrived, but my replacement game did registered mail. I guess they thought I was lying about the whole thing.
After no replacement label came, I threw that mouse up for sale on Amazon for $10 less than retail price and sold it within an hour. So I guess I made out on the whole deal, but what a friggin' PITA and making my little girl wait to play Mario. :-\
-
As a headsup for those who are getting their New 3DS, as they come with 4gb microsdhc cards, Best Buy is having a pretty big sale on the cards right now, online and in store. I picked up a 32gb one which was the max size for the system for only 24 bucks. Won't have to worry about storage for anything on it.
-
Finally, I just got a shipped noticed for my MM system. Of course the tracking # isn't in UPS' site yet, so I have no idea how long it will take to get here, but at least it's shipped.

Finally caved and got me a GameCube-to-N64 controller adapter from Raphnet Technologies. Saw that there are some YouTube reviews out there for it which were positive, so I finally decided to pay my $40 for it (I'm including shipping there).
But to my surprise, it was U.K. monies! So I saved $10 in the exchange rate, only paying $30!
Can't wait for it to get here. I'm one of those that loathe the N64 controller.

Hate to sound like I'm 1-upping you but the 32gb one on amazon that I ordered is $16 right now and it's the Sandisk Ultra. So you might want to return that and get this one. Just trying to save people money.
Apparently I also got the email that my 3DS+ has shipped.
EDIT: Autocorrect is terrible if i wasn't such a bad speller at times I would disable it. also I'm apparently the 3DS+ is coming from New York and I'm going to receive it tomorrow. ???

Not surprised. I was just looking on Amazon and I was noticing it was more of Best Buy's price hiking like they do with their HDMI cables lol They are still at good prices though, cause there are different quality 32gb ones, not that I know the difference. Also not really worth it to bring it back it back since I'd have to pay shipping and wait for a new one lol
Basically I should say they are now affordable at Best Buy which is good if you just want to quickly go out and buy one rather than wait for shipping lol

Yeah, packages usually don't show up in tracking until the next day. Surprisingly tho, I just checked and it says it's going to be delivered today. :o So maybe BB at least had them shipped faster to make up for the delay? Maybe? Iunno. ???

I've been looking at Famicom's and Super Famicom's (the systems) on eBay for awhile now. It's amazing to see how many of them have the original boxes, manuals, etc. included and in great condition. I'm thoroughly convinced that the Japanese just have way more respect for their belongings than Americans (in general). You can buy boxed, complete games in fantastic condition all day long from Japan for a fraction of the cost for the US versions that are just a beat-up, grody looking cartridge. I should have my copy of Chrono Trigger Super Famicom in today. As long as it survived shipping, the box is bright white, great condition with no tears and just one little ding on one side flap. Here's hoping for the best!

Got 1942(5-Screw) for NES, Konami's Arcade Advance(CiB) for GBA and Jupiter Strike(Long Box) for PS1.
So now with that, that's my 150th NES game! Didn't realize till I added it to my list!

Yep, I've gone from looking at PAL SNES games for about £40/50 at least to double or even triple in who knows what kind of condition, to Super Famicom games from £5/10 in (usually) great shape :D
I'm almost positive your CT will be in the exact same condition as in the pictures. All but one of my games from Japan have been sent in a nice big box with plenty of padding. Can you read Japanese? I was thinking of getting Chrono Trigger, and just trying to play it without reading anything. I have the DS version so I can play it properly on that, but I'd just like to have the SFC version (As well as some others like Super Mario RPG, Mother 2, FFs etc).

Finally got this in, though it seemed to have barely made it as one side of the box was smashed and you can see it smashed enough to bend the box itself in, though luckily the figure seems to be intact. Not good packaging on Gamestops part. All they did was put some inflated bags on the side to keep it from bouncing around, but because it was smashed up against the side, any damage to the box would clearly damage the game...SIGH...Oh well, at least I got it.

Stuff like this happens way too much when ordering online. I've had problems like this with Amazon before. Packing something properly before it gets shipped out is not particularly complicated, and I don't see why companies think this kind of incompetence is okay.

I got my New 3DS from best Best Buy and it shipped just fine, sandwiched between two sets of the inflatable cushions, done right. All they had to do with this was put those bags around the item in the middle, and some cushioning on top and bottom to make sure it can take a hit since it's guaranteed to take a tumble through shipping and at worse, get smashed in some place. Competence! It's all I ask! lol

Good news: I finally got my MM New 3DS XL! :D
Bad news: The "geniuses" at BB shipped it in a padded envelope. ??? >:( So of course, the box got dinged up in shipping. Who ships a $200 piece of electronics - nevermind that it's an extremely collectible and hard-to-find item - in a padded envelope??

Seriously? I got my regular New 3DS from Best Buy and it came in a box that was like 3 times the thickness of the system so that they could pillow it on either side with the big inflated bags. I see CD's and DVD's come in padded envelopes, but an expensive and rare electronic? I'd be pissed about that.

Bad news: The "geniuses" at BB shipped it in a padded envelope. ??? >:( So of course, the box got dinged up in shipping. Who ships a $200 piece of electronics - nevermind that it's an extremely collectible and hard-to-find item - in a padded envelope??
Seriously? I got my regular New 3DS from Best Buy and it came in a box that was like 3 times the thickness of the system so that they could pillow it on either side with the big inflated bags. I see CD's and DVD's come in padded envelopes, but an expensive and rare electronic? I'd be pissed about that.
Believe me, I am. >:(
-
Well my 3DS+ got delayed. :(
Outside of that a copy of Saints Row the Third the Full Package came today so excuse me while I go take my frustration out on people with a giant purple... well you know what that game contains
-
Well I got a bunch of stuff this last week from gs, including:
Monster Hunter 4 CE,
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption,
Spirit Camera,
Batalion Wars 2,
Ocean Commander,
Gem Smashers, and a CIB Dokapon Kingdom(wii)!
-
CIB Dokapon? Nice! :D
Here's my full MM haul:

Wow! You've got some nice pickups there.
I hadn't seen a complete copy of this game in any gs in my area and I've wanted it in my collection, so I picked it up. However, I think it is the reprint version because of the colored disc, and the P in the item number. At least I got the game now.
-
Very nice indeed!

Not a game, but my hardcover Mother 3 Handbook from FanGamer came in yesterday evening. Ronalopolis gave it to me for a Valentine's gift (by which I mean I ordered it and told him that was what he was getting me) and I'm just waiting for the cart to come in so I can play Mother 3 in English on my Mother 3 GBA Micro. (I already have the game in Japanese, since it was bundled with the system, but my Japanese just isn't good enough to have a good grasp on the story, and I want to experience it right.)
Ronalopolis, on the other hand, got the Majora's Mask New 3DS so he's been playing with that.

Oh man you're in for a treat. The FanGamer handbook is fantastic (and one reason I want/wanted to support their You are now Earthbound kickstarter.) and is amazingly awesome by itself. Also, Mother 3 is fantastic as well! Definitely not a disappointment after all those years or waiting for it to come stateside.
P.S. So jealous of your Mother 3 Micro. I want one so hard!
-
Went game hunting the other day and traveled out of state.
Here's what I found.
Amiibo
My local Toys R Us called me to tell me they got my Amiibo I pre-ordered in.

XB360
A Wal-Mart had this reduced to $10.

Picked up these from a used game store that had a lot of nice stuff but most was over priced.
They had a sale on NDS games so I got these.
- Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
- Lunar: Dragon Song
PS2
Stopped at a Gamestop and some guy was there selling his games and as he walked past me he handed me a stack of games saying "here wants some games?" I took the stack most I already had or just junk movies but there was a Wild Arms anime DVD in there and this game I didn't have. :P

Not been getting anything too fantastic recently but there's some pretty cool stuff. The Game Boy games in the picture came to just under £4 and I've also acquired Amped 3 on the 360 and PlayStation All-Stars for the PS3 :D

Compilations are awesome. You get so many games for cheap.
I still need that Intellivision Lives! one, and I believe my collection is complete on compilations. I have a LOT of them.

I got my New 3DS from best Best Buy and it shipped just fine, sandwiched between two sets of the inflatable cushions, done right. All they had to do with this was put those bags around the item in the middle, and some cushioning on top and bottom to make sure it can take a hit since it's guaranteed to take a tumble through shipping and at worse, get smashed in some place. Competence! It's all I ask! lol
I received my New 3DS from Best Buy with both inflatable bags put on top of the system instead of sandwiched between. So even the same system produced two different results!

Picked up:
Mark of Kri
Red Steel

Picked up my Majora's Mask LE from Gamestop this afternoon and then after work I went over to Best Buy to get a new ink cartridge for my printer and thought i'd ask about this kick ass Majora's Mask promotional stand. Asked the manager if I could have it and he said "sure!" Was actually a little happier to get the stand then the game, not going to lie :p

$20 isn't bad at all. I just picked up that for $15 plus I think $5 for shipping. Hard to say exactly because I bought 5 other games as well all from the same seller. :) the other titles are a surprise. :)

More Wii U goodness, I'm loving this system already! (The BoF is also Wii U)
I'm extra excited about Pier Solar. I didn't even realize it had a Wii U release until I stumbled across it in the Nintendo eShop. That's awesome because it seems like I've been waiting forever for either the XBox Live Arcade or Dreamcast release to come out!
Balloon Fight was a Club Nintendo Coins purchase.
And Intellivision Lives is the last big game compilation I need for my collection, that I know of at least.

There was even an American TV movie called XIII: The Conspiracy with Val Kilmer.
Unfortunately the original XIII PC game is no longer available because of rights issues caused by a stupid casual game in the same franchise.

The physical version is widely available used, I meant the DRM free digital version from GOG. :(
Edit:
An accidental game pickup.
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/finds-2015-02-21.jpg)
I bought these two DVDs earlier today. The one on the left is a Russian cartoon; it listed computer requirements on the back so I thought "it probably has some DVD software inside." I open it up, and it's got a CD with a game inside, which is based on the cartoons themselves. Of course it's all in Russian so I can't understand a word the readme says. :p

I bought a Super Famicom console this morning. My copy of Ganbare Goemon: Kirakira Douchu arrived yesterday and when I tried it the screen went black after one of the menus, so I'm hoping it was due to it not working with my import adapter, and that it will work alright on an actual SFC console.

Could just grab some screen clean wipes. I got a box of them that are basically wet wipes for computer screens. Can wipe it clean that way and then add the screen protectors. I did it that way after I started playing and realized I should probably get those to protect the screen before I get too many prints on it lol

Ran to the game store to talk about this mini painting commission with a guy. This time I found these guys. Winback 2 is in a little rougher shape, but it's complete and was $3. That gives me both Winback games on PS2. Zone of the Enders was also $3, is in great shape and has everything with it, including the MGS2 demo disc.

The CD-i is arguably the best console version of this game.

Went to Savers on the way home from work yesterday to see if they still had OG Xboxes since the one I had gotten from there a month ago has a disk-read error. They still had some thankfully for pretty cheap ($15) and so I went to check around the place to see what else they had. I found a few things. All in all I walked out with
- OG Xbox ($15)
- Red Wii Nunchuck ($4.99)
- Metriod Prime 3 without Manual [Wii] (marked $4.99, got for $2.99)
- Street Fighter II: Special Championship Edition [Gen] ($2.99)
-
Got a few gems and a few decent items yesterday at the area mom & pop shop.
PS1: Crusaders of Might & Magic, Fear Effect (mint with book!!!), Tempest X3, Driver 2 and 1 Xtreme (greatest hits version of ESPN games). All are complete with manuals in pretty decent shape, I was just overly excited to get a mint Fear Effect!
GameBoy Color: Transparent purple, good condition with a few little nicks. The battery cover doesn't match...but I'll find a matching one cheap!
GameBoy Advance: Indigo in really good condition, almost like new.
Gamecube: Indigo in pretty decent condition. It has it's share of nicks on the top, but I'll clean it up ok. The controller is like-new and I got a matching Indigo box for it that's in decent enough condition.

Hi.
(http://portablesofdoom.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/pstriple.jpg)
February was good to me with the 3 for $10 from Gamestop that they had a week or so ago, and elsewhere. Just picked up a Super Slim PS3 (Am I only the that prefers this model design ascetically over any of the others?) a week into the GS sale, and thankfully everything wasn't picked over as much as I figured it would be. Hit up the 5 or so GS stores in my area, and only got Bait & Switched twice, but it worked out in my favor both times with them swapping out a Greatest Hits L.A. Noire for the regular version, and switched a regular no manual copy of Uncharted 2 for a CIB GH version. Everything CIB (unless noted on one game). I take back about half of all the mean things I've personally said about Gamestop over the years. :P
Rundown:
Superslim PS3: $75 from Cowboom. excellent condition, still has plastic coverings on all glossy parts. Came with hookups too but didn't include them in picture.
Assassin's Creed Revelations $3.33
BlazBlue: Continuum Shift $3.33
Dynasty Warriors 6 disc only $3.33 (nothing else interesting at that particular store for a qualifying third game)
Dynasty Warriors 6 $3.33
Fallout: New Vegas $3.33
L.A. Noire $4.99
Lost Planet $3.99
Lost Planet 2 $3.33
Mass Effect 2 $3.33
Mass Effect 3 $3.33 (what's up with no physical release of ME:1 on PS3 other than the Trilogy Pack?)
Motorstorm 99 cents lol
Nail'd (unpictured) $3.33
Ratchet and Clank All 4 One $3.33
Uncharted $3.99
Uncharted 2 $3.33
Uncharted 3 $3.33
Also picket up the Tatsunoko vs Capcom Wii Arcade Stick from Goodwill for $20, works great except for what I assume are supposed to be LEDs in the upperleft corner, which do not turn on. Probably an easy fix.

Finally completed a grail! Found .hack//G.U. Vol. 3 at a HPB. Sadly I still paid $45 but that is still ridiculously under what I've seen it going for so I did NOT feel bad buying it. So happy to know I can start playing these games now knowing I wont have to wait forever to just finish the story. Gonna film a February pickups video sometime over the next week so lets see how this goes!

Picked up Sonic Triple Trouble on the Game Gear today. It actually dropped in price, which I don't usually see often at this one thrift store. I'm guessing they do it after something has been there for a week or two and I just happened to catch it, cause it went from 5 bucks to 2 bucks. Also I don't believe I posted it, but I also got Sonic the Hedgehog on Game Gear abit ago. Funny that I think I have most of the Genesis and Game Gear Sonics now, but don't have a functioning Genesis or a Game Gear lol Not that I want to play on the Game Gear. The Genesis didn't have a Super Gameboy type deal did it? lol

Holy crap, that fight stick looks great, and its a pretty good steal for $20! This seems to be the year to check out Xbox 360/ PS3/Wii games at Gamestop, you'd be surprised how many of those are pretty good titles for under $10 or so. They've been a huge help in getting some good stuff over the last year or so.

No it didn't. The embarrassing fact is the game gear had a larger color palette than the Genesis. So it was not technically feasible for them to do. But there is a master system adapter for the game gear. :)

Oh well. Guess I won't be playing these Game Gear games then lol

I just found out this month that I either forgot to or did not yet add my Lunar games to my collection.
I also added these to my collection:
Darkstone (PlayStation): found a good price on eBay.
Okami Buddha Board (Swag): ironically, couldn't let go of the fact that I don't have this for my collection.
The Order 1886 - Collector's Edition (PlayStation 4): picked up my pre-order.
Prince Of Persia (PlayStation 3): found this for $3, while picking up my pre-order.

Damn all you owners of the Lunar games! I want these two games so bad, yet I can't bring myself to spend $200 for the pair! >:( I'm just going to have to bite the proverbial bullet and drop the cash for them.
As for your other goodies, did you get the $80 edition of the Order? I wanted the artbook that came with the more expensive edition, but liked the Gallahad statue in the $80 set more and didn't want to drop the extra dough on the top end model.
Have you ever played Prince of Persia (I assume it's the cell-shaded stand-alone title? I absolutely love that game. Fantastic.
-
Went in my local GS just to browse, and my friend that works there showed me a complete copy of Lost In Blue 3 for the DS they had just gotten in - $5. Snagged that quickly. :)
Also, I got this princess-sounding game. Iunno, probably sucks - can't imagine anyone here has played it... ::)

I bought a cheap "game" today. Personal Trainer: Cooking for the Nintendo DS. It was 96 cents, and for some reason I felt like buying it. :P I also got my 32 GB Vita memory card in the mail today, so I can finally replace my crappy 4 GB card.
-
Downloaded 3D Super Hang On for 3DS and, since I had 80 coins left in my Club Nintendo account, I emptied it all and downloaded Grill-Off with Ultra Hand for the Wii! I also got my Super Smash Bros. 4 Soundtrack CD in the mail today!
-
I JUST saw the trailer to this one the other day, and it was epic. I had to play it after seeing that trailer.

Yes, I did get the $80 Collector's Edition since I didn't really want to spend $150+ for a statue I didn't like and other unnecessary items. I saw my brother play the PS3 Prince Of Persia. I'm definitely more of a Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time fan... Still, I couldn't pass up what I believe to be a great game for $3.

Hmm, The Flea found the digiblast :'(

Now I gotta try and get a Blue one, or the Silver one.
I was surprised how tiny this system is, for some reason I always thought it was the size of a Nomad, but its more the size of a GBA SP closed.
-
Picked up a couple more games today.
-Blue Dragon (360) - I had no idea this one came with 3 discs until I opened it. :o I'm glad to have a copy now. That's another 360 exclusive off of my wishlist. :)
-WarioWare: Touched! (DS) - I haven't seen this one around a whole lot lately, and it was a decent price and in good condition, so I picked it up.
-
Number 800!

Resident Evil Gaiden!
I found this at a local game store for a pretty reasonable price a week or so ago and decided that if it was still available this weekend I'd snag it. It's cart only, which is fine, since I'll be making a cassette case label for it.
-
Received my Random Sega box from Punch-Out Gaming today.
Contents
- CIB Genesis Game Genie
- CIB 32X Mortal Kombat 2
- NFL 2K (DC)
- TrickStyle (DC)
- Test Drive 6 (DC)
All Dreamcast games were also CIB.
Pretty worth it. Gonna try to film a Feb. pickups video today sometime. Stay tuned.

I should probably get this game.
I've thought that for years and never followed through. :)

I can't speak to the Wii U version, but the PC game was very satisfying. Definitely a good addition to the Deus Ex franchise.

I've never played another Deus Ex game before (but the series is on my radar, now). Do I need to know anything before going into this game to understand what's going on?

Continuing my quest to acquire classic PC games from the 80's and 90's, I picked up Worms Armageddon and Lucasarts Volume II the Star Wars collection on ebay - both CIB

Nope I think it's pretty standalone.

Cool, thank you.

(http://vgcollect.com/images/front-box-art/20228.jpg)
Woo hoo!!! Just got this in a trade, soundtrack included.
Now the only game in the series I still need is Majora's Mask! (Not counting the CD-i ones, because I don't own a CD-i nor do I plan to.) I don't think that will be happening any time soon, though, since renewed interest in that game (thanks to the 3DS version) has jacked up the prices a little. Have to wait for that to cool down, first.
-
Bought a ton of games last month, but the highlight was probably this (http://kidicarus.nintendo.com/uprising/_ui/img/misc/modal-box-art.jpg) for a good deal. Apparently Kid Icarus is increasingly hard to find these days.

I might have a spare blue one, but not boxed.
-
A few finds yesterday. Picked up a new copy of The Elder Scrolls Anthology and Super Mario 3D Land. But the highlight had to have been Metal Gear Solid 2 for PS2. Was browsing the used games at V Stock and picked up MGS2. They shrink wrap their games, but I noticed under the wrap the top sticker seal. Closer examination revealed the "Y seam" on the top n bottom as well as the little pull strip that cuts through the celophane and the plastic stick-on hanger on the back. Picked it up for $6.99 and after pulling the price sticker off and the plastic they put on, it's damn near perfect.
-
Just bought a few games this week-end: Tomodachi Life (3DS) and Ys: Memories of Celceta (Vita)
And also, I finally put my hands on the Majora's Mask limited edition that I had shipped to my parents' by mistake. Glad to finally have that Skull Kid on my desk!

It's nice to have friends at GS. :) I snagged this standee today:

And here's a Borderlands: The Handsome Collection poster that I got Friday (I think this one is a preorder bonus or something):

Yeah, he was pretty happy to get it. After cleaning the GameBoy Color and Advance up, they are both in excellent condition with no big nicks, scratches, etc. I even got two replacement plastic screen covers so they are scratch-free. The Gamecube has seen better days as the top side has various nicks and marks, but it's whole. I'm keeping my eye out for either a dead unit or a replacement shell.
