Yesterday I got my new PS3 in the mail! I purchased a 60GB backwards compatible model and the two games Dark Souls and Dragons Dogma.  I have been thinking about getting one for a while and finally just bought it instead of staring at them online ha.  I don't think my wallet likes me anymore though  I sent friend requests to everybody in the username thread, but my psn name is Pac_Pix if you want to add me.

Game Boy
Pokemon Yellow and Red

N64

PS1
Tekken 2 and 3

this was my big one... So I've been waiting forever to find a Wu-Tang Ps1 controller at a somewhat decent price. I almost never see the item come across ebay (and definitely never see it locally) and when it does it's usually more than I want to spend (one went up for 90 bucks recently that I passed on). While it wasn't the best deal ever, I came across one today that was selling for 41 bucks and it came with the game (Wu-Tang Shaolin Style... which, I guess, is called "Taste the Pain" for the PAL region) as well. However, it's from the UK and after shipping it ended up being just over 50 bucks... Main thing that sucks is I can't really play the game due to region locks, lol. I'm super happy about it tho, I'm a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge Wu-Tang Clan fan.




Now comes the waiting...

Over the past week, I've picked up a few games I've been meaning to get for a while.
-Bit.Trip Complete (Wii)
-Castle of Shikigami III (Wii)
-Metal Gear Rising (PS3)
-Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon (DS)
-Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne (PS2)
I'm really looking forward to playing Bit.Trip Complete and SMT Nocturne in particular. That is, once I have the time to play them. :'(

The Bit.Trip games are a blast to play and a treat for your ears. But damn are they hard!

I've only played Bit.Trip Beat before I got this compilation, but I agree. It was definitely very challenging game, and the music is awesome. I was lucky enough that the used copy I found still had its soundtrack disc.

I'm happy to be one of the people that "talked" you into it.

Congrats! Welcome to the 60gb fatty club!

Check out my sell list. I have some PS 1 and 2 games that might interest you. I am open to trade.

Bwigdahl, putting a mod chip in your PS1 to make it region free isn't that big of a deal if you have low-moderate skills w/ a soldering iron. 

I stopped by a pawn shop today that I have literally passed thousands of times over the years because it is directly on my way home.  Always wanted to stop, just never did.  They had a pretty decent selection of PS3 games, and they were selling them for $10/each or 2 or more for $8/each.  So I grabbed Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm: Generations and the original Rainbow Six Vegas.  They were both complete & in excellent condition, as were 95% of the games I saw there.  Definitely going to be one of my regular stops now!

Bought Future Tactics:The Uprising for PS2. Found it at Goodwill for about $3. Looks interesting and for that price, why not?

That's exactly how Twisted Metal Black made it into my collection.

My pickups today:

Picked up these items for $15 from the local mom and pop.



Chrono Cross is just the case and manual. Someone stole the discs. My copy is the greatest hits release but the case art and manual have water damage.

I offered to buy the case for $5 but he refused to accept any money for it.

It's a PAL game. It can't be played on an American TV.
