[namzep]

Picked up a couple of things lately:

Resident Evil 4 (GC)
Geometry Wars: Galaxies (Wii)

I also have been purchasing large amounts of Gamecube games and will be getting a PS3 and some games with my tax refund.

Yesterday I bought a Philips CD-i joypad (the Logitech one) for $2.92, a Famiclone type plug-and-play built like a steering wheel for $2.92, and a Game Wave DVD player with four remotes and one game for $19.51. Haven't tried it out yet.

I ended up passing on a few things here and there. I passed on an Atari 2600 Heavy Sixer for $10, since I already have a Tele-Games version. I might have to go back at some point and pick that one up. Too bad the store had four 2600 consoles but only a handful of games to show for it. I also passed on a Genesis with a Sega Channel adapter, since I didn't know much about it.

Got my Gears of War for the PC today in the mail, cost: $9

[cyberfluxor]

Mighty Max, crapolicious! It isn't worthy to hold the name of the Saturday morning cartoon. It feels just as odd as playing Commander Keen on the GBC after playing so many CK titles on the PC.

[Dreadstar]

Just about an hour ago at goodwill:

Saturn (console and power cord only), 2 Virtua Sticks and a NHL All-Star Hockey disc for $15.

You can buy kids on ebay? Where has this been all my life?? 8)

Couple of CDs for me from the thrift:
Dirty Vegas-Dirty Vegas $3
Dane Cook-Harmful to Swallow $6 (Some how the old lady behind the counter knew it was two CDs)

[Niku-Sama]

man some good finds already! hopefully i can find something my b-day is this month and that would make things all that much better.

Not much as I have heard of some people picking it up for $10 new but I just got Mario Kart: Double Dash for 10.78 at a local pawn shop. They still haven't started to clearance the gamecube games at any of the local stores so for me that's a good deal. I'm going to hit up the flea market this weekend and see what I can find.

[namzep]

I just picked up:

Lord of the Rings: The Third Age (PS2)
Star Wars: Obi-Wan (Xbox)

from Gamestop for about $16, total.

[DigitalSpace]

Kicked off the month with the purchase of my 70th PlayStation game:

Road Rash 3D (complete, GH) - $2.50

(Coincidentally, I got it at the same store I bought my 70th SNES game at way back in 2004. If you're wondering, that was a 50 cent cart only copy of NCAA Basketball.)

[Xexyz]

This month has started off great!



Everybody loves freebies right? Well a buddy of mine recently got one hell of a deal when selling off his extra Wii. The deal was that the buyer would pay $250 for the system, but he only had $200. So my friend settled for the $200, and got a boxed official NES toploader with 16 games in place of the $50. Now, most of the games were common, but they were quality titles. He got the Mario trio, Tyson's Punch-Out, Blaster Master, Castlevania, Tetris, etc.

The notable rare he did get was Bases Loaded 4. Now, this guy detests baseball, so I inquired on buying it off of him. He gave it to me instead, but on the condition that I take the other three NES games pictured below. I didn't want them (already had Mickey Mouscapade and Rad Racer, and that LJN baseball game is pure shit), but he said he was going to throw them out otherwise

As for the new games, Tales of Phantasia and Elite Beat Agents were clearance marked to $15.00 at Kmart, but they rang up at $13.97 each (BONUS!). Final Fight One is brand new, and set me back $20. I love that game, and I picked it up to replace my cart only copy. You don't see sealed 2001 GBA releases too often anymore.

My newest games:



The best deal, by far, was the two RE games for $10, total.

So apparently my findings hold true(well, confirmed now by another person), K-Mart and Sears/Sears Essentials Stores don't have a universal markdown. I picked up Elite Beat Agents not too long ago at a Sears store, it was priced at 14 or something I believe, and It rang up at 7.48 or some odd total like that.

Hopefully I can get some good finds this month.

So far I've traded for a Spectrobes Collectors Edition, but thats about it i believe.

I picked up more cheap PS2 titles at a new Gamestop today. I said I wouldn't go into Gamestop for a while, but the buy 2, get 1 free deal is back on (I don't know when it started), so I got a pretty good deal:

Arctic Thunder (PS2, complete) - $4.49
Shaman King (PS2, complete) - free
Smuggler's Run 2: Hostile Territory (PS2, complete) - $6.29

Before that, I went into a Wal-Mart I hadn't gone into for a few years. I scanned the game case, and I saw it - Metal Slug Advance for the GBA!!! They wanted $29.99, and I begrudgingly paid because I had seen two brand new copies of MSA at a Gamestop right before they began destroying the boxes and manuals for all the new copies, and by the time I went back, they were gone. Oh well, I've got Metal Slug Advance.

The PS1 game, Shooter: Starfighter Sanvein (R2), was also $3.

The second pair of PONG system controllers that I've found at this flea market, was $1. These came from the same seller that I bought another almost identical pair of Sears PONG controllers. Which Atari PONG system does this go to?
