February 2009 Finds

[NayusDante]

o_O What can you do with 31 laptops, without adaptors? Since they lack HDDs, are they new enough to USB boot?

[Tupin]

Nothing today at my local Goodwill except a crapload of Videodiscs. Seriously, there must have been like a hundred of them, with no player in sight.

I was excited at first, but then I realized that they weren't LaserDiscs.

[The 1 2 P]

I got a 12 month Xbox Live card and a TNA wrestling dvd.

[Letiumtide]

Herc's Adventures PSX (R7) - $6.50
Darth Vader PSP-2000 - $22 (pretty much perfect condition with the minor exception of some scratching on the metal disc on the UMD slot, screen is fine, works great)

He clearly has plans for world domination.

[Sudo]

Herc's Adventures PSX (R7) - $6.50
Darth Vader PSP-2000 - $22 (pretty much perfect condition with the minor exception of some scratching on the metal disc on the UMD slot, screen is fine, works great)

I'm jealous of your cheap PSP find. I've been wanting to get one for a while, but I don't want to pay full price.

[Kuros]

Finally found myself a Chrono Trigger outside of Ebay. I've been trying to get a good deal on this game for 4 years now.

$20 was a good deal IMO.

Finally found myself a Chrono Trigger outside of Ebay...

Does the battery still work?

[Kitsune Sniper]

I didn't buy anything today, but I did see six or seven brand new, third-party (Chinese) Taiko No Tatsujin drums. I had to go back and double check.

I kinda want a set but I can't afford to spend a lot of money for the moment.

my buys for this February

I'm pretty disappointed with Amazon, my copy of Ys isn't supposed to ship until March 2. I preordered back in January, so I'll be canceling/returning it if I don't get the first-run soundtrack package.

[PapaStu]

I'm pretty disappointed with Amazon, my copy of Ys isn't supposed to ship until March 2. I preordered back in January, so I'll be canceling/returning it if I don't get the first-run soundtrack package.

Like Lumunious Arc II, it's only going to have a single release, with the cd. Amazon has been HORRIBLE with shipping my stuff lately. Pre-ordering games months ago (Halo Wars and SF IV) or even just ordering stuff now, they arn't processing my orders in some cases for over a week. I don't know why either.

I've got a copy of Y's in my cart and according to Amazon they'll be back in stock on the 28th.

[NayusDante]

I'm saving about $10 by going with Amazon (no tax, free shipping, and $31 base price), so I suppose I can't complain. As long as it's the one-release format, I'll be fine with it. As much as I love the games themselves, the music is what makes me want this release so much.

...and there's no apostrophe in Ys. It's one syllable, "eese." It's also probably the most commonly miswritten name in gaming.

[The 1 2 P]

I just bought another lot of Xbox demos.

[c0ldb33r]

I got some Saturn stuff:
- Doom (CD only)
- Fighting Vipers (complete)
- Machine Head (complete)
- Pro Pinball (CD only)
- Three Dirty Dwarves (complete)
- Dark Saviour (complete)
- Galatic Attack (complete) - OH YEAHHHHHH!!! I love this game!!!

[PutUrQuarterUp]

Wednesday Swapmeet Finds..

Genesis (Boxed):
Chuck Rock
Hard Ball 3
Mike Ditka Power Football
Rampart
Sports Talk Football 93'
Trampoline Terror!
Turrican

NES (Complete):
Impossible Mission 2 [AVE]

NES (Sealed):
Athletic World
Kabuki Quantum Fighter
Super Gloveball (x2)

Other than a bit of light wear to the Impossible Mission 2 box, the game is in brand new condition (styrofoam and all) and I am convinced that the cartridge and manual have never been removed from the internal plastic baggy or the cardboard sleeve, which is flawless and has more than likely never left the box either. Due to the fact that it was the only other NES title the guy had (other than the sealed games) I have a feeling that its shrink wrap was probably damaged over time and ultimatly removed for looks.. either way, its a nice addition to the collection..

Grand total.. $5
