I bought a Batman: Arkham Knight code for PC from a guy on Reddit for eight bucks. The game performs HORRIBLY but damn it's a looker. I can't wait for the fixes... it's playable but it has lots of freezes.

Dead or Alive: Paradise (PSP) [EU]

I don't know what to do with this one. Both items have correct info; the first one is for a general European release (fazerco added it so I know the info's correct), but the second one is for a Spain one with Spanish packaging and manual...

Hell naw, I missed seeing you model this?!

If anything, the discs were silver tops while the incomplete copy has white tops. Am I right in thinking that the silver tops are probably from the Greatest Hits version?

Yes, silver tops are from GH versions. Some more info here. Check disc 3, some of them are actually a Spongebob game.

I'd never seen anything like the Memory Card case but decided to take it when we found 2 Sony-branded PS2 and 1 Sony-branded PS1 memory cards inside. There were a few third party ones, too, but I figured it was worth a shot to see if the older memory cards were still functioning.

I have a few of those Performance cases for PS1, and they're standard CD sized. Each one can hold four standard or third party PS1 memory cards. They're useful for keeping things tidy.

Cool finds, deso.

They're fakes.

I've reported the listing to eBay. I'm not letting anyone get scammed out of nine grand over bootleg games, and most importantly, we romhackers do not like to see our stuff get sold.

I would've bought the game in its original shape, with the Kronker name. I mean, that just gives it extra style, more appeal.

Isn't this the same image? And the item's history says you submitted the current images and stuff without problems.

So the new Hitman movie (which looks trashtastically awful) is opening tomorrow. Except, of course, I won't be seeing it, because the local movie chain has decided to only show it in like twenty cities, and Mexicali is not in that list.

Oh but Tijuana is.

Assholes.

And no I'm not paying American movie prices to watch it. Sheesh. I'd rather pay $10 for my ticket, popcorn and soda than $22.

Edit: There's a matinee showing a town over... should I or shouldn't I... oh hey 4000th post. :p

And in today's episode of "How'd this stuff find its way into Southern California...?"

Toy Story 2 Action Game (PC, sealed) - $2, just gotta clean up the plastic since it's got some stains. (And yes, this is the same game as Buzz Lightyear To The Rescue on consoles.)
X-Men Origins: Wolverine Uncaged Edition (PC, sealed) - $7.50 total from Amazon. I'd never found the game so cheap and I figured I'd spend a bit getting this since it's a GFWL game and their keys can rarely be re-used.
Xena: Warrior Princess (PS1, PAL) & Warpath: Jurassic Park (PS1, PAL) - $6 total. I wasn't going to pick these up... Xena's jewel case is glued or something, I couldn't open it but I did see the disc in there. I mean, why would I even pick up PAL games?
