Post by: badATchaos on June 01, 2015, 12:03:04 am
Wow June already!! Let's kick things off:
(http://i.imgur.com/y0N7zHU.jpg) Funny enough I actually ordered this lot all the way back on May 6 and it finally arrived Saturday. Super Smash Brothers (x3), Super Mario 64 (x2), Mario Party 2, Mario Kart 64, Mario Tennis, Baku Bomberman 2, F-Zero X, Paper Mario, Star Wars Episode I Racer, and Doshin the Giant (http://vgcollect.com/item/83321) for GameCube.
(http://i.imgur.com/H4J8d3r.jpg) Funny how a lot of Japanese Nintendo manuals are often more colorful or more detailed than the box cover. -At least on more modern systems anyhow.

Looks to be a good month.

Very nice badATchaos! There are some interesting Japanese exclusive titles on the N64 I'd like to pick up. Interesting to see the difference in label art as well.

I got a couple exclusives so far, including the original Custom Robo (http://vgcollect.com/item/41510), Sin & Punishment (http://vgcollect.com/item/41510). I bought this lot because it was really cheap. By reselling the doubles (http://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,6199.msg92374.html) I can easily make my money back.
Edit: My Platnium Game Boy Player arrived today! Now I just need to get Indigo ;)

Awesome game pick-ups, very clean looking as well! I remember reading about Doshin the Giant in a Game Fan years ago always was curious about it, especially the N64 DD version. Shame the GC version was only released in JP/EU. Some N64 JPN exclusives are really worth buying, Wonder Project J2: Koruro no Mori no Josette comes to mind.

Picked up a used-but-minty Princess Peach Wiimote Plus this weekend from Gamestop - that completes my set of the 3 US released themed Wiimotes. :)
Also grabbed Splatoon yesterday thanks to the current 50% bonus trade-in promo GS is running.

I got the first Lufia and Gitaroo Man (PS2 version). Two great games for two great systems. They just don't make games like they used to.
EDIT: And and and, my copy of Grim Grimoire arrived in the mail yesterday. ^^ I knew I was forgetting something.

After 19 days of waiting two of my latest purchases finally arrived into the office yesterday, I do hate the Mexican postal service can't believe that every time that a package goes to the main city they always lost them for several days anyway the two tittles that I just received are Dragon Warrior (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Quest) and The Simpsons: Bart vs. the World (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Simpsons:_Bart_vs._the_World), paid only $ 5 bucks for the first one and $ 6 for the second by the way this is the first time that I that see the back of the cartridge is not like the rest, this one has the Manufactured by Akklaim (http://i.imgur.com/yc6Rt2o.jpg) logo in the Nintendo license, as far as I remember they had a policy where all the cartridges that was sold to the developers had to be manufactured by them, guess that I need to read little more just to be sure about this or maybe they did some exceptions.

Does it actually say "Akklaim", or was that a typo? If it wasn't a typo, then you might have gotten one of those Chinese pirate cartridges. Because it's spelled "Acclaim".

... that is the first time I've ever seen a NES cart that wasn't made by Nintendo.
This nine year old (!) thread at RF Generation (http://www.rfgeneration.com/forum/index.php?topic=1581.0) mentions a bunch of European games that were like that.
Edit: I have finds, I just need to um, take pictures first. >_>

Double post time!
I went to search for things for the shop today and didn't get much of anything... until I visited a guy that sells things he buys from a specific seller who clears out his merchandise on Monday afternoon. I saw a box underneath a table and asked if it was taken, he said no. It had a ton of console demo discs! I grabbed these three for reselling (sorry!)
I paid and said "I wish I could take them all... I don't have much cash on me right now, maybe I'll have some money later in the week." And then the seller said "Well... I'll sell you the rest of the box for five bucks and you pay me later in the week. How's that sound?" Pretty fair, actually. So I left with way too many discs! I'm not sure ALL of them are here, not yet - but I figured I'd take a gamble.
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/finds-2015-06-02b.jpg) Playstation Underground 2.2, 2.3 and 3.1 PS Interactive Sampler Disks 5 and 9 MLB 2001 Demo CD

As in, they set up a tripod and recorded those from the monitors. There's even people walking in front of the camera...
And the thing that made the sale for me... (http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/finds-2015-06-02g.jpg) Demolition Racer: The Soundtrack. Sooooooooo 90s-tastic!
Oh and there was a loose The King of Fighters '97 Sega Saturn CD and a loose Need for Speed Underground 2 PS2 disc in there. Woo. I guess.
Fun fact: The address on one of those PS Underground sets is from New Jersey.

Later on during the NES lifespan Mattel distributed some NES consoles in the US. Bandai in France, Hyundai in South Korea. With that said, I've never heard of Acclaim doing this either. This would make sense if this was on the Famicom or something... but on NES? Definitely interesting piece you got there doafan.

Yesterday I had a talk with some people at a different forum and none of them wasn't able to tell me if the cartridge is original, where one of them told me that he need to check it out personally which was pretty stupid cause he ask me if there was any chance that I can send it to his address and then he will return it, so I want to believe that it's kinda rare, this weekend will check the rest of my cartridges to see if another one has this condition :P

I have gone back & forth so many times on whether or not to sell my complete set of DC mags (minus issue zero) and demo disks. Sometimes I feel like I hang onto them just to say I have them, and they'd be better served with a more serious DC collector than me.

I just took a fast look but it seems that you are missing a lot of crap and am talking about the good one since wasn't able to see nothing from the NES, don't get the wrong idea I do love this console, it has a lot of awesome games but it also has a lot of crappy tiltes that will perfectly fit your taste ;D

At a local place here. They are getting ready to close shop. They had $159 on it and it was the last one. I offered a $100 bill out the door. They took it.

After my latest quite expensive addition (http://imgur.com/a/TeQyk) I calmed down a bit and grabbed a few games on my Wii wishlist that I could score for cheap prices since the Wii is like the only "retro" console for which I collect games from my own region (PAL).

Wii U! I have accomplished the first of my 5(?) goals this year and purchased a Wii U! I already had Nintendo Land (my aunt and uncle hated it, so they gave it to me for free), and we got Bayonetta 2, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge. Now, I still need to reach 100 PS1 games (2 games away), get Silent Hill (possible), get black label and CIB copies of my games (almost impossible) and get every game that I used to own (almost impossible).

In my mind I picture that you were browsing a game store, minding your own business, when all of a sudden you fail to notice the wet floor sign. You slipped, desperately grabbing onto the display case to break the fall, unable to catch your balance your feet shoot forward going above your head and your wallet falls out onto the floor sliding over to the cashiers feet. The display gives way and busts and you claw at Retron 5, dragging it out onto the floor as you finish tumbling down.
The guy looks at you and says... 'you break it you buy it.' So you look at him and your like 'you are looking at lawsuit buddy, that sign was French, how was I to know it meant wet floor?' and he's all 'alright guy, just take the Retron... $100 and this never happened' so you look at him and your're like aaalllriiight (like the guy from Game Chasers).
Yep. I bet that's how it happened.

It wasn't near that exciting. It was,
"How much for the Retron5?" "$159" "Would you take $100 out the door?" "Cash?" Pulled out a Benjimen "Yes, ma'am."
It wasn't near as cool as your story.
In other news: I just got a top loader and games 10-15 games for $50. Feels good to score.

Haven't done much looking lately with how busy I've been, but nice to find a couple things like the Samus I've been waiting to show up in stores, a dollar copy of Wii Play, and a Tony Hawk game I forgot about. It's actually an exclusive for the original Xbox that is both Tony Hawk 1 & 2, along with exclusive levels and enhanced stuff. As a collector of these games, I needed it lol

It was an AWESOME weekend, picked up some great finds. Garage sales were good to me this week.
Store pick ups.
3DS - Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven - Rhythm Thief
NDS - Radiant Historia
Now for the garage sales. ;)
3DS At a sale I found two 2DS's complete in box and a lot of games, they wanted $250 for everything and I didn't want to spend that much, I asked about separating the lot. While i was talking to the lady a notorious Reseller shows up and butts in and starts scanning all the games. And pretty much low balls asking prices so bad they acted like they didn't want to do any deals for him or me. After he left, I tried to get somekind of deal and best they would do is was $75 on one of the 2DS so I passed, best I could get them to go on this game was $20, being half the price. I bought the one game. - Pokemon Alpha Sapphire
PS3 Found several games I was missing from several sales cheap. - Fallout 3 ($2) - Nascar the Game: Inside Line ($2) - Family Game Night 4 ($2)
XB360 The list of odds and ends games picked up from several sales. - Nike+ Kinect Training ($1) - Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure ($1) - Thor ($2) - Gears of War - Collector's Edition ($3) Found a Xbox 360 at a sale and saw the box was the model 3 version, I don't have a Model 3. it was marked $45, I asked if they would take $35 and they said yes, I paid the lady but I later found out the system was a model 2 slim, oh well. it was in great shape and still worth $35.
Wii All the Wii games I picked up from the sales. - Nickelodeon Fit ($1) - Jillian Michael Fitness Ultimatum 2010 ($1) - Burger Bot ($1) - We Ski ($1) - Dead Space: Extraction ($3) At a huge community sale, I asked a lady about video games and at first she acted like they had nothing, but she made a comment about having a Wii, I asked any games you or your kids don't play any more she could sell? and she said she'd take a look and after a short wait she brings out these 4 games, and I got them all for $8. - SimAnimals Africa - Disney Universe - Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon - PokePark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure :)
NDS Found a sale that had a bunch of loose DS & GBA games but they had their manuals. There was about 20 games but they wanted $5 a piece and most where kids games not worth $5, but they had these 3 worth the price. They also had a GBA SP (101 model with charger, Car charger & head phones) Pink they wanted $40 and the lowest I could get it was $30. It was in mint shape and I was missing this color so I picked it up. - New Super Mario Bros. - Mario Kart DS - Mario Party Advance (GBA) Also found this game I was missing for $1. - The Sims 2: Castaway
PC Okay normally I don't even look at PC games, but I saw these 2 big box games for $1 each I figured I could use em as trade bait. - Robert E. Lee: Civil War General - Full Throttle
PS2 List of random games I found from different sales. - ESPN NBA 2K5 ($1) - Need for Speed Carbon ($1) - Kim Possible ($1) - Robotech Invasion (.50c) - Spyro: A Heroes Tale (.50) - A silver PS2 Controller ($2)
DC Found a CD book full of loose DC games for $3. - Shenmue - Blue Stinger - Midways Arcade Hits - Crazy Taxi - NFL 2K1 - Kiss Pinball - Sonic Adventure - 102 Dalmatians - Soul Calibur

INTV I see a Intellivision III and a box full of boxed games, I asked about it and he told he just bought it at a sale that day and he didn't want to sell it. :-\ But he said there was an extra game I could buy, He first said $5 but I was able to get it down to $3. - Pitfall!

But there was a problem, her six kids kept screaming about what games they didn't want to sell. She had Mario 64, Mario Kart 64 and said they hadn't played these games in a long time, but the kids wouldn't let them go. These are the only games I could get away from them for $5. (sigh) - Robots (PS2) - Star Fox 64 (N64)
Stopped at a sale in the middle of the boonies, it had nothing but baby clothes. Asked about games and at first she said no, but then she said she had some old games inside. I told I'd love to see them and she goes inside and pulled out a giant tub, when I opened it it had a mix of games and movies. I pulled out the games I wanted and a Reseller shows up. He sees me and I could tell he was irritated and I waited for him to leave before talked to the lady about price. I got all this for $20.

Stopped at a sale on Thursday and asked a young man about games, he said he had boxes and stuff and started to dig through box after box pulling out PS1, PS2, GC, XB and XB360 games. but only one problem, most every game case was empty. And there was some great PS1 RPG's but they where all missing Disc 1. Including Final Fantasy Anthology & Legend of Dragoon. But we did find a stack of N64 games and a few other games that did have their discs inside their case. Here's what I picked up. Aslo he pulled out a Silver Gamecube with Mario Party 5 disc in it. Had hook ups but no controllers. He then asked me if i wanted the Halo 3 Legendary edition. The box was beat up but the insides looked like it was never taken out. Told me I could have it for $20, Then said I could have the Gamecube and all these games for $15. N64 - Cruis'n USA - Cruis'n World - Wave Race 64 - Dark Rift - Pokemon Snap GC - Mario Party 5 PS2 - Zone of the Enders PS1 - Die Hard Trilogy XB Mechassault (sleeve version) Before I left I asked if there was anything else, and he said he had a SNES with about 50 games. I was excited but he said it was buried some where and to come back on Saturday because they were not open on Friday. So I show back on Saturday and he said he forgot to search for it, at first I thought I was going to leave empty handed but he invites me to help him go through boxes to try and find more games. We started pulling out game after game of all kinds, (felt like an episode of Game Chasers) like before many where empty cases and we found a second Legend of Dragoon with disc 1 missing. wtf lol, We found the case for Mario Party 5, a bunch of GC games, PS2 games, XB games, 360 games, and other video game stuff. I got all this for $15.

I gave him my number to call me if he found the SNES games, then we got to talking about video games of all kinds I was just about the leave when He pulled out another box from somewhere and said "I think there's more games in here" I looked through the box with and and pulled out a bunch of PS1 games and a few guides. Got all these for $8. ;D PS1 - Final Fantasy VII Guide - Final Fantasy VIII Guide - Final Fanatsy X-2 Guide - Digimon Digital Card Battle - Darkstone - Final Fantasy VII (misprint version) - Grandia - Wild Arms 2 - Parasite Eve II
SNES At a sale I asked about games and a girl there said she had SNES and a Gamecube but they where at a different house and she said she'd call her boyfriend to bring them over in a couple hours. She said it was her's and her brothers and said she had to get permission what games she could sell. At this point I felt like it was going to be a lost cause due to I've seen this before where the son/brother wont want to sell anything. So I hit a bunch of sales and wasn't able to get back til three hours latter. As I walk up to the sale I see they are closing up and a guy is walking away with a large box. The girl sees me and tells me her boyfriend was about to leave and yells at her boy friend to come back. She opens the box and my eyes get big real quick. There was REAL good SNES games in here. All the DKC games, Mario Kart, SMW, LoZ, Chrono Trigger & EARTHBOUND!!! But these where part of the games her brother told her not to sell. But it wasn't a loss. I still got some good games from this, she said she looked them up on Amazon and at that point I thought crap, this will be to expensive but she said she do half what she saw they sold for. And some where about on point, others where stupid cheap. Here's what I got. - Addam's Family: Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt ($1) - Lethal Enforcers (with light gun) ($2) - Ultima: The False Prophet ($5) - Goof Troop (CIB) ($5) - Donkey Kong Country (CIB) ($10) - Final Fantasy III ($5)
Hit a community sale and the first sale I hit I asked about games and the lady said "ya I got something and went to go get something" This sale was one of those small ones with only one table out. She brings out a bag, I unzip it and see a SNES with all hook ups, 2 controllers and when I saw a few of the games, I asked how much? she said $30 and I pulled out my wallet. lol - Jeopardy Deluxe Edition (CIB) - Wheel of Fortune Deluxe Edition (had box but its in real bad shape) - Family Feud - American Gladiators - WWF Super Wrestlemania - Donkey Kong Country 2 - Earth Defense Force - Legend of Zelda: LttP - Super Mario Kart
NES At a sale I asked about games and the lady said she had a Nintendo, she goes to her car and pulls out a box and I see BOXED games. :o When I asked price she wanted $40, I really didn't need a NES system. So i asked about buying just the games and she said $10. Ya I'll take em for that. lol - Jeopardy - SMB / WCTM / DH - Super Mario Bros. (CIB) - Tetris (CIB) - Legend of Zelda (CIB)
And last a few deals I made online with money I made selling some of my extras. SNES - Star Fox 2 (custom) - Pocky & Rocky 2 NES - Power Blade 2
Damn that was a lot to type, hope you enjoyed me going into all the details. :P

I went to a meetup with a bunch of other collectors/gamers today and traded/bought all the stuff in the picture. Was a load of fun and met some cool people as usual.
It was an AWESOME weekend, picked up some great finds. Garage sales where good to me this week.
!!! Congratulations of the awesome finds! According to VGCollect, you are now just 42 games away from the 10,000 mark!
Bolded: this is something that I realized with your other posts, and it is something minor, but you often write "where" when you mean "were."
It's called being exhausted and not caring about going over that long post looking for errors. lol It took a couple hours to take pic's and write that post. I try and correct errors but many get by me. I'll correct the error just for you. :P
Technically I'm already over 10,000 games. Because VGcollect has Atomiswave & MVS games under arcade instead of under "games". So my game count is 10,009 atm. ;)
the official record stands at 10,607 (then the guy sold it all) lol I'm at 10,652 items on VGcollect, but I know many items in that count wouldn't count as part the the record, things like guides, figures, Digital games, swag, and maybe some variations and some accessories.
To get all that stuff was 3 straight days at 5-6 hours each, hitting as many sales as possible, I think I had to have hit well over 200 sales just this weekend. It's a lot of fun but exhausting at the same time.

It was an AWESOME weekend, picked up some great finds. Garage sales were good to me this week. NES - Power Blade 2
Damn I do envy you, this game is a must have for me and unfortunately it's a rare title so that's mean is fucking expensive, not a true gem like other games but it's fun, gotta love the Mega Man style with a boomerang and that's why I wanted this one, by the way you didn't mentioned the price of this beauty :o

This wasn't a Garage sale find, (God how I wish it was. lol) I made a deal with a collector/reseller online. I sold a lot of my extras to get the money to get it. So I paid about $50 for the extras I sold to have enough to get it. I've been doing this more just so I can afford some of the more expensive games.
That picture isn't my copy, but that's what came with it. Indeed, the game is CIB and I couldn't be happier. We all need more Langrisser in our lives. I almost want to rush through Atelier Shallie so I can start it up.

Last purchase as arrived yesterday but totally forgot to share it here, it's not the big deal cause is a second copy Mega Man 3 but with the difference that this one has an intact and shiny label, since it wasn't expensive cause only paid almost $ 12 bucks it was a priority to have it, this is another of those titles that have found cheaper in my city than at Amazon or even eBay, I do like to have my NES cartridges in the best way as possible, don't know if I want to sell the first one and how much can I ask for it, saw them at less for 20 dollars online :-\

It finally came, this is the game I bought from a GoodWill seller on eBay. Thankfully complete and good for a great price. I've wanted this game for so long too. It's right up my alley, down my sidewalk, at my doorstep, down the hallway, in my bedroom. It's just my kind of game. Love these early 3D platformers with their crude graphics and whimsical adventures. I think this one flew under the radar.

Well we dont even have a concrete date for Steins gate in NA. God knows when we will ever get it over here. I just had to get the metal Oopa. There is another LE [@ Rice Digital] set for Stein gate but it comes with the shirt which I really want but I dont know if I'm willing to spend 39 Euro [$60ish] for the shirt and try to sell of the LE.

Yaay. My limited edition of Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy came in the mail today. :D I was shocked by how big it was. :o It's a pretty big change from the last PS Vita LE I got from NIS America. It sorta looks like it could be a big art book.
Here's a pic with the Criminal Girls LE and Demon Gaze for scale.

I dont post finds very often cause I really havent been hunting much lately. But today the wife wanted to stop at a pawn store. I was browsing through the games and noticed Mario Party 7. Kept looking and ended up finding 5 and 6 as well as Luigi's mansion and Zelda the windwaker plus Zombi U and Mario 3D world for the Wii U. Got to the counter and mentioned there were no prices on the games. She said anything on that shelf was 3 for $10. So $25 scored me all those games including tax. :) All complete too!

You should join one of those gaming sites that lets you catalog your collection. Then this wouldn't happen!
Oh, I know what it's like to game hunt with someone who never has a clue what they have. The "use" VG Collect but their catolog is useless because they don't take the time to add any new purchases to it. It's so annoying! Not sure if you have it? Maybe it's a sign that you shouldn't buy it because it can't be that interesting of game if you think you've already forgot about it.

You my friend have just earned my full respect, I purchased the DOAX2 with my Xbox 360 and the Gears of War 3 when it was released cause these two games are fucking awesome, well the first one is only awesome because of the boobs but still is awesome ;D
Damn I do want to have that kind of friends by the way since this one has been added to your collection you totally have to see the review that Derek Alexander released a couple of days ago, in my opinion the most complete on Youtube also the simultaneous Speedrun by Uraniu Manchor and Klaige is fucking awesome, it's a must see if you are going to play this title 8)

Though I guess the majority of it is on PC. I don't know how much of the was on console too haha
Being a primarily-PC gamer can suck sometimes. :P Maybe one day I'll figure out how to program and make something that runs on my portable music thing.

The week is almost complete and at my lunch hour I did finally receive my latest two purchases, it certainly took to damn long to arrive but they are finally here, this time am adding to my collection the Japanese version of The King of Fighter '96 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_King_of_Fighters_%2796) for the Game Boy, it's a shame that at this part of my life I just noticed that this console was the only one from Nintendo that didn't had a region restriction like the NES or the SNES, only paid 25 bucks for this one and was able to found it here in Mercado Libre, the second one is the all mighty The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages (http://es.zelda.wikia.com/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Oracle_of_Ages) I only paid $ 8.66 dollars for this one which was a very good price, dunno why but this one and the Oracle of Season are kinda expensive here :o

DS Stopped at a sale and found these 2 DS games for $1 each. - Pac-Pix - Elements of Destruction
Saw an ad on Thursday for DS & Wii games, so I got there about 30 minutes early but saw a reseller beat me to it. (doh) good news it was mostly Girl shovel ware games and while he was scanning the DS games I grabbed a couple Wii games before he did. He did take about 5 games and there where priced $4 at each but I asked about getting the whole stack for $25 and she was fine with it. Mkes them under $2 a piece.

Said $3. so I couldn't leave it. :P found these at another sale for $1 each. - Dora the Explorer: The Search for Pirate Pig's Treasure - Crazy Chase
Stopped at a sale and asked about video games, a man there said he had a N64 in his car. I was hoping for a lot with games, but it was a Grey N64 with all hook ups and 2 controllers, When I asked how much, he said $10 and I couldn't say no. lol
I saw 2 ads on Friday advertising "Video Games" I hit the one closest to me and a reseller beat me. (this guy is one of the most annoying of the resellers) but they had high prices and it was all PS1, Wii and loose NDS stuff and there was nothing I wanted. As the reseller was trying hard to get a deal I jumped in my car and raced to the second one, and I got there right as they opened. no one else there. ;) I asked about the video games and he points to a box with PS3 and XB360. They $5 each but I made a deal 3 for $10. XB360 - History Channel: Great Battles - Medieval PS3 - Sleeping Dogs - Portal 2 I asked if he had anything else video game, and he says not really, just an old Nintendo. :o He pulls out a bag with a NES (console only) with a Power Pad and 14 games. He asked what I wanted for it, I said $20 okay? And he was happy to take it. lol Here's the games. - Super Mario Bros / Duck Hunt / World Class Track Meet - Tetris - Rad Racer - Silent Service - Home Alone - Bubble Bobble - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Gyruss - Robocop - Operation Wolf - Batman - Super Mario Bros. 2 - Super Mario Bros. 3
Stopped at a sale and saw a stack of PS3 games, I picked out the ones I was missing which where... - Guitar Hero III - Kung Fu Panda - Assassin's Creed Revelations - MX vs ATV Alive - Dirt 3 Complete Edition - Call of Duty Black Ops II I asked if he had any other games, and he said ya and went inside. after a few minutes he brings out a large tub.

On Saturday a ad ran on craigslist advertising Atari, Vectrex, C64, PS2, PS3 and other Video games. I thought that this could be a fake, so I hit it second. And it wasn't a fake it was a serious collector selling some of his stuff. His prices where under or at retail but wasn't "garage sale" deals. The Vectrex was $150, it worked but it was beat up pretty bad. There was even a couple extra screws and a brace holding together an area the casing cracked. There was a Mint in box Amiga Computer for $250 I was temped on, but not really a computer guy and really didn't want to drop that kind of dough. We got to talking and he took me in his huse and showed me his collection. The guy was a huge Amiga collector, also loved Atari systems, TI99 T16, PCE & INTV had a lot of 2600, JAG and INTV homebrews, A few I didn't know existed. He showed me some items he'd sell and here's what I got, cost me $50 to get all this. Felt more like convention prices, but still wasn't to bad. - PCE controller - An Bally Astrocade Manual - Commando (INTV) - Klax (2600) - Starfire (with Manual)
And last the one that got away, The one I wanted to buy so bad, but the guy wanted way to much for it. I stopped at a random sale and saw a couple crappy Wii games and asked the guy there if he had anything else video games. He said he had an Xbox, At first I was thinking, don't really need another Xbox. I asked what color was it? He said Green. My eyes lit up. Yes I want to see it. He goes inside and in a while he comes out with a Mountain Dew Xbox COMPLETE IN BOX with about 5 games. I was excited as hell. I asked what He wanted for it and he said.... $450. NOOOOOOO!!!!! He said he saw them selling for over $1000 on Ebay. WTF. He was firm on the price and I had to pass, I really wanted it but there's no way I'll pay $450 for one. Later I stopped at a local game store and I asked them what they would sell a CIB Dew Xbox for and they looked it up and said $250. I told them about the $450 one and they laughed their ass off. Sigh, I always wanted to find a Dew Xbox from a garage sale, and when I finally find one it's over priced. :-\
And I heard that Ninja Gaiden 3 was easier than the first two, which is good news for me. I LOVED the style of the first two games, but they were just too damn hard for me to get very far into them. Here's to hoping I can actually get through this one.
I also picked up the latest issue of Retro Gamer from Barnes & Noble. Looks like an interesting issue: "Gaming's Biggest Disasters".

Because everyone associates King's Field with Dark/Demon's Soul now, that's why the prices went up.
As a HUGE KF fan, I just absolutely don't agree that the games are as similar as people claim. I didn't die like every time I encountered a new enemy in KF. And there was much more of a sense of exploration in KF that drove me.

Because people will drive up the price of something just because it has Mario, or Zelda or whatever. I've had people triple the price of a game just because it has Mario.

You can use it to plug in a Guncon if you don't have the space (or the means) to plug it in directly to the television. This is also useful for outputting stuff to a second monitor! Too bad it doesn't have an S-Video output. There -is- a Sony-made model with S-Video, but I've never found one.

Not a video game, but it's definitely a cool addition to my gameroom: a pac-man alarm clock! It plays the starting tune and then some waka waka waka until you hit that off button :P It's looking super cool next to my TV. And now I can know what time it is and stop playing at a reasonable hour ::)

No gaming finds today, but I did pick up (by sheer accident) a Canopus ADVC-110 video capture device thingy. This cost me two bucks, and apparently it goes for more 75 bucks used. Unfortunately my PC doesn't have a firewire port, but I hope to test this at a friend's to see if it actually works. If it does... well, I'll have a perfectly usable capture thing now.

Haha, sharp eye :P We were hosting the birthday party of a friend, which ended at 1AM. We played Rock Band and Smash Bros though, so it was great!
That's a pretty great find for 2 bucks, I hope it works :o

Still waiting for Ricedigital for a response on my vinyl. :-\
Contemplating on the Steins Gate El Psy Congroo [NA] version. [NA] > [EU] but their literally the same thing but it still bothers me.
Crossing fingers for a different LE for it... maybe

Sooooo I ordered the P4A Vinyl that came with the EU version of the game from Ricedigital. I got it today... but I think I got the wrong vinyl... :o
P4A test Vinyl uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
and its like it been taken out and stuff because of the corner and dust on the vinyl.
I pop in it and I can tell this test vinyl has been in a lot stress with how warped it is and how it will shutters and skip bit of the music all around. :'( :'(
What are the chance of me actually getting a test vinyl. Probably not an Atlus test vinyl but a Ricedigital's test vinyl.
I still got the bag I guess.
I seem to have missed that post, I hope you can get the real vinyl! Even though a test one can be cool, the real vinyl looks pretty great too!

Just got a email from them yesterday about it. They apologized and wrote that they sent another one. I'm just hoping it doesn't take another 1-2 week.

Ar nosurge Plus arrived yesterday.
I know, I know...I didn't care for the original version so why bother with the Plus version? I really enjoy the Ar tonelico games, so I feel it necessary to support the creators in some capacity. Plus, the Vita is always in need of more love.

I was surprised to see mine yesterday - thought this came out next week for some reason (probably because games never have Thursday release dates :P). I'll admit, I mainly got it because the LE is the only way to get a physical copy of the game for the Vita. I never got around to playing the PS3 version in that LE set I bought, but I'm selling it now to cover the cost of the Vita one. ;)

That's what I did! Some poor sap...er...some lucky customer just got their copy that I sold them.
