I want to buy a tekken 3 PCB, but I won't spend more on it than a 100 bucks.

I plan on buying more video games. :P

Honestly I don't try to have a complex game plan searching for games, just depends on what comes up. ;)

Same as DV. :D

I've got a lot of pre-ordered stuff coming out over the nex six months -- probaly going to set me back $300-400 by the time I have all of it.

I'm not going after anything hardcore until CGE, when I just run around and pick up everything that I see that I want/need/feel the need to plop cash on the table for.

I've got extra cash again, and I'm trying to finish my Master System collection....but that'll probably be a lot of small purchases.

I'm with Vader too...no elaborate collecting masterplan in effect here.

That said, my next gaming purchases of any size won't take place until I'm the city of sin, so just the expenditure involved in getting me there will make whatever I get there a major purchase. :P

Not looking specifically for too too much...but I've been going after import Saturn shmups lately. They're kinda spendy. I don't really plan, I just snag whatever cool comes along :D

My next big purchase will probably be a Gameboy player. I just spent $100 on the 4th on PSOne RPG's, find is in the Midweek find thread:


Well not so much a find as a much anticipated purchase. For the games I want I don't have much room for finds... the people that want them are the collectors, the people that sell them are collectors. Oh well

Playstation:
Arc the Lad: Collection (complete)
Arc the Lad I & II BIGASS Hardcover Guide
Ogre Battle Limited Edition (complete)
Suikoden (complete)

All complete, all in absolute mint condition. $100.

GBP's nice, bright colors on the games and all, but there's something left to be desired in the frankly nasty UI. Aside from useless features -- I suppose you could use that timer for mundane things, but it's still silly, and shouldn't have been included over other things that you can just use a watch for -- and, I'm ranting about the GBP again.

Oh, and the lever on the side that ejects GB/GBA carts will spit GBA carts out with some force, possibly scuffng them up if they land on the floor.

I plan on buying either a GameCube bundled with the GB Player if I find one for a good price (but even then I STILL might not, depending on my mood/cash situation. But I WILL have an E-Reader some day... I'm just skeptical about purchasing it now cause I'm SURE they're gonna release it in a better way, just like they did with the GBA-SP. Mainly Cause there ARE so many ways it COULD be improved upon... But I'm stockin up (by which I mean buying for myself, not hording hundreds of copies of) on card-games now, cause I doubt those first edition NES games won't see much production... their gonna focus on animal crossing/pokemon or whatever else they release in the future.

I also tend to just buy what I can find cheap, rather than seek out "big purchases". However, I occasionally make exceptions for hard to get systems (last big purchase was my Laseractive). My next one... maybe a Hello Kitty Dreamcast? :D

I need a new playstation 2. mine died on me about a month ago. I haven't been able to play Dark Cloud 2, Onimusha 2, or Yu-Gi-Oh for almost a month.

My next big purchase will either be one of the many special edition Dreamcasts, or a Dedicated Neo Geo MVS cabinet. Must...play..Mark of.....the..Wolves.... @_@

So much for a Teradrive, I'm finalizing a deal to finish my Samurai Spirits (Japanese Shodown) AES releases collection (plus an extra; by the time I'm finished I'll have 3 SS carts) and got some SNES stuff.

You have two games or two complete collections? X_x

Personally, I'm hoping to get hold of a Jap PS2 to sit neatly on top of my PAL machine and enable me to play Winning Eleven 7 when it's released and various Bemani games. :)
