March 2010 Finds

[Streetball 21]

Yeah the Ultra N64 is a cart converter. I really didn't want to go to the trouble of modding my original system, so I decided on that, which I paid $20.00 for. I paid about $30.00 for each game, which may be a lot but I never find these in the wild only on ebay. So I decided to pick them up since they were in very good condition and had all inserts and packaging. Starfox 64 is missing the Rumble Pak, but they threw one in for me.

Wow, that's crazy expensive. Why not just get the American versions for $5-10 each?

[Streetball 21]

I already have the American versions lol. I just wanted the Japanese versions for my collection. I had been wanting these for a while.

There is probably some side thing aout it being high value games though, right?

It's going on at Best Buy, I'm not sure of the details but I've heard from other people that they got that deal from there.

EDIT: I didn't see those other posts, never mind.

Yea, but all it need is 5 $9 value game.

[Sonicwolf]

Yea, but all it need is 5 $9 value game.

I have little for games worth that in their trade-in calculator, unfortunately.

[ScourDX]

Yea I know a lot of games don't even worth much to them. It has to be a certain game listed on their website or you can use the Redflagdeals list for trade in value.

[Cornelius]

I'll just add for anyone else, that after looking into it this DSi XL deal was only in Canada. So you don't have to kick yourself if you are south of the border.

Small haul the last two days. Already posted what I got from the GS Game Days Sale in a previous post but picked up a few more items after shopping around today.

Yesterday, at Kroger's of all places, I found Season 1 of Lois and Clark: The New Adv. of Superman shrinkwrapped. It was marked $7.99 but only rang up at $4.

Today I hit up a few places. First stop Toys R Us.

Soul Bubbles (DS) $5
Women's Volleyball Championship (PS2) $5 (hey, it's an Agetec title!)
Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection (PS2) $5
Data East Arcade Classics (Wii) $20
101 In 1: Party Megamix (Wii) $10

TRU was running a special where it was Buy 1, Get 1 50% off all Wii games under $30 (or $40 I can't remember). They had the deal on their DVDs and Blu-Rays as well and I almost took advantage of it but didn't see anything I wanted.

Over to Best Buy...who also had a Buy 1, Get 1 50% off all DS games. Selection was HORRIBLE at this location, was looking for Retro Game Challenge but didn't find it. I did end up with...

Spectrobes Collector's Edition (DS) $15
Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer (DS) $7.50

My buddy expressed interest in Fallout 3 for XB360 from the GS Game Days Sale and I told him I would check to see if they still had any since it's right next to Best Buy. I stopped into Blockbuster right quick first and snagged...

Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (DS) $20
Brutal Legend (XB360) $10 (for my friend)
Brutal Legend (PS3) $10 (for me)

Then I hopped next door to GS. I saw they still had the Greatest Hits version but for some reason I thought it would have the GOTY content and it didn't, silly me. . I opted against buying it then and figured I would inform my friend about that. I didn't walk out empty handed though and picked up...

Cursed Mountain (Wii) $10
Spectral Force Genesis (DS) $20

I had the Spectral Force on pre-order and saw on the site it got dropped to $20. When the girl went to activate my reserve it said the game wasn't out yet and was $30. She did some checking and found the SKU at the $20 price and rang it up under that. I did her a favor and didn't cancel my reserve as I know they'd take a hit on their percentages if I did.

Would've been a whole lot less to type if I just had my camera to snap pics with but I don't remember where it is. I haven't been able to find it since I moved back in June.

I was a bit adventurous today. I spent $1 on a CD called "The Banjos that Destroyed the World: The Fastest 5-String Banjo Instrumentals of All Time". Talk about a Kitsune Sniper buy.

Speaking of things Kitsune Sniper might buy, I paid a buck for Bite Me! - starring Misty Mundae - on DVD at a closing Hollywood Video.

[Kitsune Sniper]

...

Heeeeeeeeeeeeey, don't make fun of me and my weird musical choices! You... you... NERDS!

Don't make me put the Baywatch album on!

Got a couple things in the mail today that I had bought off of eBay. First is a manual for the Saturn game Shining Wisdom. That set me back $3.75 plus shipping. The other purchase is the most that I have ever spent for a single game. I recently sold my copy of Radiant Silvergun and used that money and some extra to pick up a complete copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga last week for $190. It was more than I wanted to spend, (of course), but I can't complain. Except for some slight scuffing on the case, it looks like they ripped the shrink wrap off right before sending it to me. All the disks look beautiful, if not almost perfect. Now all I need is some time to sit down and play it.

eBay finds aren't always something that fit in this thread (I've heard complaints about them being in the finds threads), but I got 26 NES games and 10 Genesis games for $12 total. If the seller had only put the number of games included in his title he might've gotten a bit more.

Expect a big pic of them when they arrive, and most of them are FS/FT. I think the only ones that I'm keeping are The Punisher and Bionic Commando.

And I'll get rid of all those Genesis games somehow.
