my wife got me Tekken Tag 2 on the PS3.
she got it from ebay not realizing there was a code needed to play online. sadly the code has already been used.
Im gutted. all my friends that play live in England and i live in USA now.

why is this kind of information not clearly shown on the box?

[foxhack]

Buy the game from Gamefly - most of the time their codes are completely unused. Still, that sucks.

Buy the game from Gamefly - most of the time their codes are completely unused. Still, that sucks.

what annoys me most is i cant find anywhere on the box that it says activation code required for online use.
however they felt the need to put a disclaimer telling me i need a 3D tv to play in 3D and that i need a mic to chat.

Went out Garage Salin' and found a few goodies.
1sy sale picked up a White Gameboy Advance with a Mary-Kate & Ashley game for $2. System battery cover was broke but it works.

Then picked up a Nintendo Virtual Boy for a quarter, yes 25 cents. Had its controller, stand, eye piece, battery pack, and manuals. for 25 cents. It was in excellent condition, the i got home and tested it and.... It works... BUT one eye screen doesn't 
I already own a VB but its nice to have it for parts if i need it for my VB. Or if someone wants it in a trade. Can be still played just lose the 3D effect.

Then I picked up FF: Mystic Quest for SNES for $6. Been looking for this cart in great condition. Always found it in bad shape before.

Hit my 1st yard sale of the season today -and- it was a weird but good one

First of all...it was a bank having the sale 

Not sure if the employees just donated stuff to sell, or what -but- they had a bunch of tables both inside & out in the parking lot, overflowing w/ your "typical" yard/garage sale shit.

Anyways, I left with:

(1).  A black bag w/ a shoulder strap & a sectioned-off plastic insert inside with a big, old "GAME BOY Color" emblem/stitching on it,

(2).  A cart-only, GBC game called: "X-Men: Mutant Academy", and

(3).  A cart-only, GameBoy game called:  "Pokemon: Special Pikachu Edition".

Best of all?

When I came up to ask the cost...the girl said that, since they'd been sitting out there since this morning - that I should "just go ahead & do them the "*Favor*" of taking them all off of their hands...FREE of charge"

Like I said - a strange one w/o any amazing finds -but- a promising start (FREE Merchandise:) to the new & upcoming season of garage & yard sales...

A bunch of recent Steam purchases:

Rise of the Argonauts - $2.50

Grand Theft Auto Complete Pack (GTA 1-4, Episodes, San Andreas and Vice City) - $16. But wait, why was this $16 if it was on sale for $12.50 last weekend? Well, as it turns out, people who buy GTA Vice City (or a pack with the games) now is missing ten songs because record execs are money-grabbing jerks. But this particular set was purchased -before- the cutoff. So it still had the cut songs. I bought the set from a trader since the price will only go up in the future.

And yes, the music matters to me.

^ Maximum Carnage was a HUGE part of my childhood, both the comic series and the games. Played the hell out of the game, rented it like 50 times over from the local video store, probably. And the comic series was one of the first I paid for, collected, and completed on my own as a kid with lawn-mowing money. I also was getting X-Men: Fatal Attractions, and The Death and Return of Superman comic series at about the same time.
