Some more Vita finds for me to start off the month.


Gohastings had a varying percentage off sale on used games, so I got 4 games for the maximum discount of 40%, which of course they sent the 4 games in three different packages.

Hot Shots Golf World Invitational $6
Akiba's Trip: Undead and Undressed $15
Wipeout 2048 $6
Muramasa Rebirth $15. Looks like they forgot what "used" means here as this one is still sealed, despite what that sticker is telling you.


Also was able to grab a copy of Breach and Clear on the second go though. Glad they cancelled that jerkass order of 100+ from that one person so more people had the chance to grab it.


...and with Breach and Clear, that puts me up to 20 Vita games! Not a bad start since I started picking them up this September after my PSTV purchase.

Recently pre-ordered the limited edition of Fatal Frame 5 only to receive an opened copy with missing and damaged pieces. Currently waiting on a response from the seller. I'm hoping this was just a snafu with customs. :( I'm enjoying the hell out of my new copy of Aquanaut's Holiday though, even if it's aged terribly.
Always looking to buy Drakengard, Nier, and Siren collector's items.

- Mario Kart Wii ($2)
- New Super Mario Bros. Wii ($2)
PS2
- Barbie Horse Adventures ($2)

Now store/online buys...

Amiibo

3DS
- "New" Nintendo 3DS XL Hyrule Edition

Wii
Ordered a Japanese Wii for cheap.

NES
This was a Homebrew Kickstarter game that was made for a tournament.

And last I see this behind the counter and ask what he was asking for it. He said it was the box only and I tell him I'm still interested. I look at it and its got the Styrofoam and other stuff inside and it wasn't in too bad of shape. I ask what he'd sell it for and was told $30. Ya I bought it.
- NES Deluxe Set box (now my rob has a box.) lol

My Gamestop still has them in stock last I saw. Go to your local Gamestop and see if they will transfer one to your store.
Just tell them to search zip code 61108.
