I was in a GameStop over the weekend that was out of town, and the manager mentioned this to me.  My GameStop stopped taking PS2 trades quite a while ago, but this will eliminate their PS2 selection altogether.  If your GameStop has anything worthwhile, get while the getting's good!

I made a slight adjustment to my game room this weekend. I'm not finished with everything, but here's a preview.

Looks very tidy, I like it.  Can't wait to see it when it's done.

Looks like a Dragon's Lair knock-off...   

Uh. It's made by the creator of Dragon's Lair. You could call it an evolution of sorts...

(Why the hell doesn't Rick Dyer have a Wikipedia page?)

Oh, I see that now that I zoom the pic a bit...

Speaking of cheap shelving that works wonders. I upgraded my Castlevania shelves to a stack of 4, instead of the original 3! Things look a lot nicer now that they are spread out a bit more.

Looks so good, Scott!

... And finaly these 2 for 2$ each:



A nice day to remember!

Oooooo, Darkstalkers 3 for $2?!  Dang.

... And... I found this weirdness yesterday at the dollar store that's close to my US hometown's Wal-Mart:



Yes, it's a real game. I think. >_> The publisher mostly specialized in dollar DVDs and softcorn pr0n vids. Go figure...

Looks like a Dragon's Lair knock-off...

Big Lots is a good place for random furniture.  We picked up a Microsoft "officially licensed" Xbox 360 console entertainment center there a while back.  Kinda cool.

Paid $29.99 for put it together yourself shelves that house a lot of my collection from Big Lots.

Hey, nothing wrong with that.  A lot of my shelving is from Big Lots too.

My dad had a ton of laserdiscs when I was young.  He had a Pioneer player (and speaker system) and several hundred laserdiscs.  Not sure what he ended up doing with them...

Does anyone have the US preorder bonus music CD for Castlevania: Lament of Innocence (this one)? I'd love to own it

I wish.

I wish harder

I'd love to have that too.  Actually, I wish I could get my hands on more Castlevania soundtracks/bonus music...   They're so hard to find.

If the guy was getting offers of $1000, I don't fault him for checking it out and going to ebay. From the sound of it, the people offering him money messed up. Sometimes you can really offer way too much.

Sellers can mess up by selling to low or too high. But buyers can mess up too. You call him up, ask to see the games. Go to the house. Offer $50. You will know by his reaction what to do after that. If he says no, ask what he is wanting. Then offer something a little lower. Etc.

Don't email saying $1000. Yeeeesh! That buyer overbid themselves to nothing.

This is exactly what I was thinking.  If the guy was clueless as to what he had, he never would have known any better anyway.  Someone could have gotten a really amazing deal with this lot if they were intelligent enough to offer a small-ish amount...

The only problem I have with the 3DS is that Nintendo insisted on releasing the 3DS XL, in my opinion, way too early in the 3DS's lifespan. So now, rather than producing a set style of hardware, they are producing 2 different models simultaneously, which can't be cost effective. Other than that minor gripe, I think the 3DS is a great successor to the DS (which I love), much more so than the DSi.

I agree about the 3DS XL and the timing of its release.  I mean, don't get me wrong, there are some really good titles out on 3DS, but it doesn't seem too many people are paying it any mind.  Especially after the fiasco that was its initial launch.

Just look at all those goodies for SMT IV!    Can't pass up a pre-order on this one.
