Nothing much, it's 7 AM and there's a hurricane closeby, so I'm not leaving today. I have some finds from earlier in the week, but they're in the US because of Customs.
What did you find today?

my guitar hero 5 will be arriving today in the mail from amazon today, i consider it a find because i traded in a bunch of basically crappy ps1 and xbox games that were even badly scratched for $90 in trade credit plus the $30 extra promotion, plus a $10 video game coupon, and a $5 mp3 credit, can you beat that? not to mention i get guitar hero van halen for free when too.
Autobots. Roll out.
I won some x68000 games off of Yahoo. Went way, way cheaper than I anticipated. I had no idea Ajax ever had a home release.
I wasn't aware it was ever released either. I used to love that game, but I gave up hope ever seeing a home version. Any good?
I'll let you know if my x68000 is ever working!
A couple of my friends just got back from Japan visiting another one of our friends who's over there working (I was suppose to go, but no money). They said they'd pick something up for me since I couldn't go, and they know I love video games.
They came back, and gave me my present:
Super Famicom, Street Fighter II, and Final Fantasy IV!
I have been wanting a super famicom for a while now, and now I finally got one! Plus, it was a gift, so it makes it all a little more special to me. Still sucks I couldn't go to Japan, but hey, at least got a really sweet present.
Found a loose Zelda Cart (NES) for 1$ at goodwill lol, my first double.....
Consoles Owned - Intellivision, SNESx2, NES, XBOX 360, XBOX, PS3, PS2 (slim), N64, Odyssey, Radio Shack Electronic TV Scoreboard
Future Consoles - Atari (2600, 5200, 7800), Sega Genesis, PS1, among others.
I went thrift hunting today and came home with... absolutely nothing. I did see THREE PSX consoles with 2 controllers each, marked $15/set at Salvation Army. I asked about games, but they said they didn't think they had any. Very odd.
The rest of my LaserDiscs came today, so I've alreay watched Blade Runner and half of The Crow. This batch isn't nearly as pristine as the others I got last week, with Blade Runner having awful scratches at the end of each side. This batch was about $23 including shipping, and the others included Terminator 2, Bill Cosby Himself, Star Trek VI (sealed), and Star Trek Generations. I've only put about $75 total into this so far, and I have a player and about 14 movies. It's so nice watching dark scenes without DVD macroblocking... ^_^
Went to a thrift store I had never been to before, and found nothing.
I did see a PS1 with a red sticker on it that said it was a store display and it had a wireless adapter in its port, any idea?
Found this neat art at a church sale.
Paid $2, and the guy was trying to get me to take an old TV with it "for free!!"
Normally, I don't go through frames/art at these kind of things for fear of the horrible tackiness that usually resides, but I saw this one poking out, and thought to myself, "that can't be Space Invaders? Can it?" Yup.
Figured it was a poster, but there's no date/copyright or anything on it, and it's actually like a firmboard, not a paper. Kinda reminds me of something that would be the cover art for an old magazine or something.
Anyone else seen this before?
I really like it. Going to put it up in my game room for sure.
It looks like the art for a cheap multi-cart knockoff or something with Space Invaders, Pacman, Battlezone, Chess, and Star Wars. I think it's very cool as well and am jealous that it's not going in my game room...
I really like it. Going to put it up in my game room for sure.

what would be cool is to take a good pic of it and in photoshop in the top right corner put a Digital Press logo and the stores address and have Joe use it as an ad. That would kick @$$
..."The One And Only"
I hit a new-to-me thrift store today. Found a couple audio CDs and left behind a loose 4-switch 2600, no power pack or anything else, marked 19.99.
Today I traded a phat PS2 and some random early release games for...
A 60GB XBox 360! Just got home to test it out fully and it works perfectly. Only thing is I can't figure out how to get a wired 360 controller to work w/ it. I got my wireless to work fine, but not the wired one. Weird. This is actually the second time I've traded a cheap console & games bundle for a 360. The first time I traded a Dreamcast & games for one.
I have no idea why this person even wanted to make this trade considering they could have gone to Gamestop and gotten something similar I'm sure.
Technically from last month but...
Nip Tuck Seasons 2 and 4, Ren & Stimpy Seasons 1&2 - $25
Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO in a RE4 box - $3
Road Runner - $2
Super Mario 64 - $1
World Neverland (jp ps1) - $2
Genesis system + hookups and controllers (not pictured) plus Chuck Rock 2, Sonic 1, Columns, Taz Escape from Mars, Toy Story 2 and the box for Toe Jam and Earl - $10
Robocop (blu) and Tales of Vesperia - $25
Every other game shown + Gamecube system and hookups, 2 PS1 systems and hookups, SNES and hookups and Genesis and hookups - $60
I found a Pioneer Laserdisc player in a box behind my school sitting next to the dumpster filled with electronic crap. Passed it on the way to the bus stop noticing a bunch of cords and decided to stop and look. The rest was old computer parts.
I don't have cords or a laserdisc to test it, but am sure it doesn't work because our poor ass school still uses them!
