Got with Birthday Money:

-Smackdown vs Raw 2006 (PSP) $39.99
-Tony Hawk's Underground 2 Remix (PSP): $19.99
-With 10% discount on each item since my dad works at Wal-Mart= $250. :)

Birthday present:
-FlatOut 2 (PS2)

Other finds:
-Half-Life (PS2): $11.99 used from Gamestop (Non-GH...was this ever a GH title?). Half-Life 1 was a good find for me though, as the stores around my area didn't seem to have it for a long time, until very recently. I also totally forgot that it came out on the PS2 in the first place.
-Half-Life 2 (Xbox): $17-18 used from Gamestop.

I made some nice finds yesterday to close out the month.

First, I stopped by an EBGames and got:

GBA:
Ice Climber (loose) - $4.99

Then I went to a CD/Game Exchange and got:

Super NES:
Radical Psycho Machine (R.P.M.) Racing (loose) - $1

Nintendo 64:
Supercross 2000 (loose) - $1

And the find of the day:
PlayStation:
Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night (complete, GH) - $10

Everything's in awesome shape too. Man, I am so glad to finally cross this off my want list. :D

It's supposed to be new...

Found out about it on Slickdeals.net

[screwusernames]

I got the Tekken 5 'Ultimate Collectors Edition' today (the one with the huge/awesome arcade stick and Tekken collection case) for a mere $23 and some change, new. Gamestop and EB are clearing these out, and they lowered the price to $29.99, and I traded in my old copy of it for $7. An AWESOME deal, and you guys should all call your local EB/GS and see if any of them have one left, even if you do it just to sell or use as tradebate.

Kingdom Hearts PS2 (sealed, original non-GH) - $35
Power Stone DC (sealed) - $20
Castlevania:HOD/Contra EX guide (x2) - $5 for both

It's great living in NYC!
