Sniper Elite Xbox - new, but marked used for some reason - $29.99

I have noticed that FYE is relabeling a lot of new stuff as used. I picked up the DVD sets of Flash Gordon, Prince Valiant (pts 1 + 2), and Defenders of the Earth (pts 1 + 2). They were all new, but labeled as used and priced at $9. The best part was that they had a buy 3 get 1 free sale.

I wouldn't be so sure, I've sold them used stuff and then they shrinkwrap it... so who knows.

Also, their used prices blow chunks. I refuse to pay $45 for a five year old football game.

Starting off March on the right foot:



Actually the Xbox games are from February 28th, when I went to a flea market. Terrible time of the year to go, but I figure I'd give winter scavenging a try. Wasn't a complete miss as one vendor was selling Xbox titles at a generous 2 for $5 price. Most of the games were common sports titles, but I did manage to pick out Panzer Dragoon Orta and Ninja Gaiden from the bunch, in quite good shape too.

Stopped at a Best Buy to pick up Dungeon Explorer: Warriors of Lost Arts for $29.99. Right now it's the only B&M chain store carrying the game for either DS or PSP. Kind of a simple (and ugly) hack 'n slash, but still fun. Also, it's nice to see the Hudson Bee logo once again gracing video game cover art in North America.

I then visited GameCrazy this afternoon and left pleasantly surprised. PoPoLoCrios was $8.99 with MVP card, and Disgaea: Hour of Darkness was only $22.49 after discount. Nice to finally get Disgaea (even though I own Afternoon of Darkness for the PSP) without being price gouged. It's in fine shape too, and the case isn't scratched, torn, or tattered like the usual GameStop copies I always come by.

EDIT: Holy crap, sorry about the blurry picture. That's the last time I ever take the flash off...

Just ordered Smackdown vs Raw 2008 for 19.98 new. Hopefully it will come in soon.

Went to visit my sister for the day in small town south dakota, stopped by a rental store there and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw they had God of War 2 for 9.99 used. I'm almost sure they had it marked as the first God of War.

I am pretty sure that these were new since they were double sided disks with no marks of any kind on them. I have never seen used disks that look this nice. Either way, I am happy with the deal.

Who makes this cart? I tried looking in the online guide but nothing.

Have a Famicom to NES converter or Famicom / Famiclone with cartridge slot?

It's a pirate multicart, basically a pirated Famicom (Japanese NES cartridge) with multiple games on it. The most well known of these are the 999,999 in 1 (or similar) cartridges that contain a handfull of common games repeated a bunch of times - usually hacked so they won't display their original copyright screens.

Interested in selling it? I'm always curious what games are on these things - although it's usually a bunch of copies of Battle City.

MINE! *hissssssssss*

I collect pirate multicarts. I love 'em. And I stole it first!

Seriously though - if you can get a Famicom adapter or one of those Super Joy systems, you'll be able to play it.

Honestly, most of the time when I buy Famicom anything from the boards is to confirm / disprove cartridges as being pirates or authentic. This thread is a good example. (damn I was pretty stealthy in my purchase of those, paid fair price for them though, as authentic except for the SMB cartridge - all of which I confirmed) Most of my multicarts and protos simply sit around and collect dust.
