Only 6 hours left until Februrary, so I'll just post my modest find in here ;)
Silent Hill (PS1)
Xevious 3D/G+ (PS1)
Hah, any day where I find a shmup is a good day ^^
4 for £20:
GTA3 (PC), The Curse of Monkey Island (PC), Escape from Monkey Island (PC), Gran Turismo Concept (PS2)
I had The Curse Of since it first came out but I lost the disc some time last year.
Medal of Honour: Allied Assault Deluxe Edition, £5
5 random Atari 2600 carts for £1.50 (50p each and buy-one-get-one-free). I'm sure there were 6 yesterday. They muct be very common because I've heard of 4 of them. Boxing, Space Invaders, Centipede, Galaxian, Combat.
They asked if I wanted the Spectrum games as well but I decided against it because I don't have a Spectrum. He said he could sell me one but then the other worker said it had some bits missing. That's a shame.
Now I just need to make my laptop stop randomly crashing. I think it would be best to just get a new hard drive.
Got a couple of things so far. Its almost february.

A day of shopping at Game Crazy and CD Exchange allowed me to pickup:
Doom 3: Limited Collector's Edition (XB)
Harvest Moon: Save The Homeland (PS2)
Tomb Raider (SAT)
Revolution X (PS, Longbox)
Total Eclipse Turbo (PS, Longbox)

I also passed on two copies of Silverload for PS since they were both missing their manuals.
Oh man... I didn't have really any "finds" as I paid through the nose for most of this.
I got my package I ordered from GameQuest Direct last week... sealed games are awesome.
Last week I went a little nuts on the Gamestop Buy 2 Get 1 Used deal, and just got around to cleaning them up right now.
And then today I cashed my check for the soul purpose of purchasing this
And while I was there I saw a few things I wanted, and the guide was pennied out but they missed it \m/
That loose GBA cart has now become a complete, up for sale Super Mario Bros. NES classic. Has the registration card and everything.
It's been a good week, but my wallet hates me. Need to calm down for a bit now...
Not really finds, but more like purchases.....
Project Gotham Racing 3
Kameo
Conker: Live and Reloaded
19 dollars and some change for everything shipped.
Brand new and factory sealed direct from Microsoft.
One of the few perks of having my super secret part time job at Gamestop.
(Microsoft offers a reward system/zone for certain retailers employess who take online training) And I take full advantage of it

I picked up The Sims 2 for PC new for £16.50. Quite a good price, I thought. I might get a used expansion pack some time. I saw some in the shop the other day.
My laptop is still crashing, which is rather annoying. I think it might be a problem with the memory. I should be getting a new computer in the next month anyway.

Then some stuff from gamestation, gotta love the BOG OFF offer.

My mom got a free $20 gift card for filling out a little servey at Toys R Us and gave it to me. (Thanks mom)
I got for GBA:
Final Fantasy 1&2
F-Zero GP Legend
$9.98 each without my lovely gift card
I was so thrilled to find FF1&2 that I did a little dance!
(No one was in the isle but my mum ) I had given up hope of ever finding a copy for so cheap.
Good stuff. And free...just about.
