Just nabbed myself a copy of CUBIVORE for Gamecube! 140$ for CIB MINT. Good way to start off the new month!
started the month off strong: picked up lost dimension and final fantasy xiii for the PS3$140 is a deal too. It's actually around $200.
lost dimension was an impulse buy, but it's CIB and $15... just saw i can flip it if i hate it, but it's atlus, and i usually adore atlus properties. super happy to find this, because atlus titles have a way of ageing their way into expensive as shit.Just nabbed myself a copy of CUBIVORE for Gamecube! 140$ for CIB MINT.

...this makes me really sad that cubivore has gotten this expensive.
it's a game i always wanted to play as a kid, but never, ever could find in stores. ever. i searched every gamestop all the time for this game, and never found it.
seeing this price point, i guess it's my time to write it off. i'm NOT paying $140 for that game. and i require my shit be in mint condition. fml.

Great haul today!
*yoink*I forgot how good the Prinny games are, so I went and bought the Limited Edition of the first game and a copy of the second game, spent about $30, hopefully they come as described.
Great haul today!
It has arrived. My maroon red FF Type0 controller. :)I have 2 and I still don't know what to do with the second one. Install half of my games on each system so that I don't need to pussy foot around with data management?Now to sell off the rest of the system.Screw it, the damned thing is beautiful! Im keeping it. 4 ps4s baby, you know it.
And a Progear No Arashi CPS2 board :)

Got that around noon today. Tempted to fire it up when I get home, but so many other games to be played...
;DMine's supposed to show up tomorrow. I'm curious to try it out and hope it lives up to the hype!

maximo310, nice GC pickups! I don't have many games for that system, but I'm always looking out to get more. It's got a fun library.Thanks, it's one of my favorite systems of all time. You do have to hunt quite a bit to get good deals nowadays, but the exclusives on the GC, and the og xbox as well, are pretty fun and unique for their time.
Just to get back to folks curious about No Man's Sky, I only got to watch maybe like 30 minutes of my bf's playthrough before I had to get some sleep.
Oh no! I hope you feel better soon!
He played more today and enjoyed it quite a bit. Got a better idea of how to manage his fuel and hasn't had any trouble really. It looks like a good game for just exploring and wandering around, and the environments are huge. Not too much micromanaging when I watched him tonight. I'm tempted to try it out for myself tomorrow night...

If you stream it, let me know. I'm interested.

For sure! I'll see how I feel when I get home tonight.

Reading text on game pickups....check out picture...suddenly notice epic PS2 wall in background. :0

Also picked up a Genesis 2 w/ 2 controllers for $12.99, looks like it runs with all of my stuff. I'm glad I was able to get a working one for cheap instead of going online.
Yeah the genesis was a pretty bittersweet victory after what happened with the xbox discs earlier today. I originally had gotten a genesis to use alongside my Sega CD that I acquired from another vgcollect member, but had to return that genesis along with others because they wouldn't boot and I didn't want to pay the high online prices for the system.-snip-

i gave my brother my genesis... which i found in a ditch one day, but it worked flawlessly. the NES that was alongside it had a broken 72-pin connector, which i replaced.
i'm extremely upset that i did that... we no longer keep contact. genesis consoles have shot up in cost, too. and i had a complete copy of xmen 2... which he also has. i like the genesis a lot (that music chip is magic tho) but i'll likely never get another because the cost is just fucking ridiculous.
maybe one day i'll find another ditch-haul. i mean, i DID get a 48" tv the same way... with stand... and remote... works pretty much flawlessly, as well, it's my HDTV. maybe one day i'll get lucky again. i guess i can keep fingers crossed. >.>;;
(i have found stuff in dumpsters at apartment complexes at the end of the month too
no shame)
Are genesis systems really worth money? I've got like 10 of them sitting in my closet. I was selling them for $10 a piece a few years back.
I've been told that a lot, how do you know if a model 1 is non-tmss?Are genesis systems really worth money? I've got like 10 of them sitting in my closet. I was selling them for $10 a piece a few years back.
Genesis systems have doubled or tripled from when I was buying them for parts, but I wouldn't consider it "money." The real money (aside from non-TMSS HD model 1) is the power supply.

What little I read somewhere else made it sound like I can pop in a copy of Populous, if it loads I'm good, if not, it is a TMSS model.I've been told that a lot, how do you know if a model 1 is non-tmss?Are genesis systems really worth money?

Maybe I missed something, but their only statement was the FCC ID, but they also stated that there are reports of the longer FCC ID also having the TMSS.What little I read somewhere else made it sound like I can pop in a copy of Populous, if it loads I'm good, if not, it is a TMSS model.I've been told that a lot, how do you know if a model 1 is non-tmss?Are genesis systems really worth money?

Well really, you can put in any game and see if the TMSS screen comes up. But I linked to that for ways to tell without powering on the system.

I think I sold my extra 32X a while back, I'll have to take a look. I have a stockpile of stuff that I ignore.Are genesis systems really worth money? I've got like 10 of them sitting in my closet. I was selling them for $10 a piece a few years back.
No, not really. I can still find Genesises for about $30. They just aren't a sought-after system, which is a shame because it's a great system.
Now if you have a 32X, Sega Power Base Converter, or a Sega CD attachment to go with one, then that REALLY ups the value.

No extra model 3. This just reminds me that I want a model 1 Sega CD.Are genesis systems really worth money? I've got like 10 of them sitting in my closet. I was selling them for $10 a piece a few years back.
If you have a model 1 or a 3, PM me. I mine "disappeared" in the Great Divorce of 2015. :'(
So both of my model 1 systems appear to be non-TMSS, but the second one won't load Populous. No Sega message for any cart though.
I'll have to keep digging, I might have more Genesis systems laying around somewhere. I know I have a bunch of model 2 systems in a box with some other junk, but I'm not sure about model 1 systems.So both of my model 1 systems appear to be non-TMSS, but the second one won't load Populous.

Nice! You seem to have the complete opposite luck as me. ;D
After a nice deal with a great person here on the forums, I updated my controller collection to have the official 20th anniversary controller that was included with the console. Its still even wrapped in the cellophane it was in the case. Im stoked to have this!!!!Dope.

The controllers are different. The one packaged with the console has the button symbols on the touchpad. Other than that I can't recall the other differences, if there are any.After a nice deal with a great person here on the forums, I updated my controller collection to have the official 20th anniversary controller that was included with the console.

Nice!
Was that not the same one they sold separate?
Correct. The one that came with the console had a special touchpad that has the X/O/Triangle/Square instead of just the dots.
Randomly decided to hit the other shop in my town tonight after work. Found some great stuff I've been waiting a good price and there is still more I want there
Gameboy:
Wario Land : Super Mario Land 3
GBA:

Nice pickups. those are both great games.
A friend of mine decided to sell off some of his duplicate consoles. So I bought them.

Although not pictured each came with at least one controller and all of the power and a/v hookups. All are in full working order (which we tested together and had quite a blast doing so.

Nice pickup! I love the SMS. The other two? Not so much.
I'm starting to think that the TurboGrafx-16 is the most overrated system of all time. I just can't find a game I like on it other than Bonk, and I have that for the NES. I'm not a huge fan of shooters, that may be why I don't' like the system that much. It is just overhyped to the point that it's kind of obnoxious.
With that being said, it's still cool to say I have one.
Shepard11, that $20 Atari 7800 pickup is an awesome score.

Hey, cool you got carts with writing on them!
So i completely suck at quitting collecting...What the shit, where'd you find 3 copies of Class Heroes 2G?
I hunted for games pretty aggressively over the weekend and today and found some very good stuff, most of it for at most half of its Ebay value. The only thing I paid full price for was the Assault Suit Leynos game, just because I was so excited for this game to come out. Here are the pics! GTA5 and Nocturn were left out of the first pic so they got their own :p
