Don't I know where you live.

I'm still working on scoring a Dakota prototype controller for the XBox.

So I just looked at the pictures, what is the difference between the Dakota and the Duke controllers?

[Dreadstar]

Found a boxed Game Gear Master Gear Converter and a loose Gameboy 4-player adapter for a grand total of a buck at a local thrift store.

[theclaw]

Decided not to pick up much yet. I have a bigger plan later. The point of this VCD is testing my Saturn card (too lazy to burn anything). If genuine it's unusual to find in the US.

I've passed over a few VCDs before which either seemed likely bootleg, or were incomprehensible Chinese films.

$1.50 sealed GTO original anime soundtrack by tokyopop
$1.50 Unbreakable VCD, English Singapore import
$2 Hulk Vs. DVD
$10 God of War 3
$4 Canon S330 camera

Game Shark (was sealed until a Mexican at Goodwill tried to open it. Only managed to break some of the clamshell) - $5

I'm just curious how you knew he was a Mexican and not a Spaniard. Was he wearing a "Viva La Mexico" t-shirt?

[VideoGameRescue]

$25 FTW!

There's a local game/movie rental place closing down (bad economy) so I went in today and looked at their selection. Sadly, their sale started a week ago but I just found out about it today as I don't drive in that area too often. However, did get some decent stuff:

For $80:

Metal Slug 3 - Xbox
Star Wars Battlefront - Xbox
N3 - Xbox 360
Fallout New Vegas - 360
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II - PS3 (it's in a Tin so I'm assuming they bought the collector's edition to rent?)
inFamous 2 Not For Sale Edition - PS3 (doubt that changes the price but it's pretty neat).

Five DVD movies, including Red State which I've been wanting to watch.

$25 FTW!

Nice Diablo...

I picked up a Nomad on CL today. For parts or repair $10. Only decent deal on CL for a while. It has a cracked screen cover and the contrast potentiometer is broken. I haven't tried to power it on, but it had the battery pack, which I needed for my Nomad. I've seen official battery packs go for $30 on eBay so i felt pretty good. I'm gonna keep the pack and sell the Nomad and probably still turn a small profit.

Sounds like a prime canidate for the Nomad Screen Mod. With the new screens the contrast potentiometer is useless anyhow. Cool about the battery pack too, in my experience of repairing/flipping new screened Nomads, the ratio of working battery packs wasn't very high.

Got out to some garage sales this morning, mostly just wandering around on my way to a couple advertised ones.



I grabbed the Dune 'Bookcase Game' just cause it was cool and only $1. I planned to just hang onto it, but looking on eBay I might decide to sell. It seems to be organized/pieces bagged, so I suspect it is all there. The only video gaming were the 2 PS1 games that I paid $2 for. I couldn't help myself on the SW Micro Machines set. I've also got the Jabba's palace set. Misc other stuff was all cheap. $5.75 (half off) for the Cars stuff for my son, $2 for MS Office, and $1 for Luigi.

From the pawn shop...



3 bucks for SOTE and 5 bucks for Duke Nukem.

From one of the local gaming stores...



30 bucks. Came with mario clash. Is missing the "eye shroud" piece but is in perfect working condition and a nice 8/10 on the cosmetic scale so I can't complain. The piece it's missing sells for about 20-25 on ebay so a complete nice shape virtua boy for 50 bucks with mario clash isn't terrible but certainly not bargain material. But as it's the only time I've had a chance to buy one and not get ripped the hell off I'll take it.
